3.5@2i@7p, 4@2i@7:30p, 5@2i@8p, 10.5@2i@9p, and bike over the last 5 days respectively. I'd be in great shape if I was doing a half Dopey, but it is what it is.

Ran 12 yesterday at a 8:30 pace. Thanksgiving meals bogged me down, it was a real struggle.
Back to eating better this week, not much time to shed a few pounds before DMW.

Hope everyone enjoyed their turkey day. I had a nice pre-turkey 4 mile run, and then on Saturday I ran 7 - had no idea where I was going to find the energy to finish it when I was at about 2 miles, but then I felt like I could've kept going by the time I finished. Nice to finish strong.

Yeah, sounds a bit more manageable, don't it? I do kinda wish they had kept the marathon relay, would have had to figure out how to sign up for both, run the full and "relay" with my DW.

Yesterday's 6 miles at 8:15 was easy, starting to feel the benefit of cutting the soft drinks out this week. I do this from time to time, I went three years once, but it's just so hard for me because I love the taste of Coke so much.
Not excited about today's 10 miler.
Made the mistake of doing Mexican for lunch.
Update later...

Yeah, back when we had a treadmill at the house life was easier, I could simply wait till they went to bed. But not many affordable treadmills can endure the mileage my wife and I put on a treadmill. I run 42 miles a week minimum, and that's off season. I weigh anywhere from 180-200 depending on the season, that's a lot of strain on the belt. My wife runs at least an additional 20 or so.
Can't afford one of those industrial jobs, we give too much to runDisney....irony.
Miss the home treadmill, now we rely on the 24 hour gyms

Bike today
Don't know if I would really say I have an average half time. It will fluctuate by 10-15 mins depending on what distance I am training for at any given time. Maybe in the 7:30-8 window? Most recent one was an 8:02 pace, but considering it was a) longest race in almost 18 months b) longest run in about 10 months it may not be the best indicator.

I received an email from runDisney Stride today in which I noticed the following statement:
"2016 is the year for anyone to overcome their hesitation or fear of the word "marathon" during one of our magical races. That is because runDisney events are not just for runners. Many of our participants choose to jog or walk during our events."
Maybe this is just my own pet peeve, and I know I'm not a super fast runner, but I thought the running community was past the distinction between "runners" and "joggers." The above statement by runDisney that if you choose to jog you are not a runner irked me. Is it just me?

Interesting, it does not irk me so much, but it's funny "that line" between jogging and running, it's all personal perspective right?

Naw, didn't bother me. Maybe they're going for the people worried about the sweep. Whenever I did a 12-13 minute pace with my cousin (her pace) I felt like that was jogging. But yeah, perspective.
