Watched my Texas Longhorns wear down Cal last night. Didn't end until midnight and I couldn't sleep so I slept in this AM. I'll do 3 miles Friday, 7-8 Sunday, then I might take the week off before Marathon. Getting nervous. :lookaroun

Thanks everyone - doctors' visits today and yesterday are unanimous that I may try whatever I feel I can endure, so the first weekend in January is a "go" for the Mississippi Blues Marathon - and check out these marathon car magnets!

Gee, that was colder than it was in New Jersey! I didn't think it got that cold in Bama.
Oh yes. We will have about 2-3 months of lows ranging from the low teens to the upper 20's at times. Then, it will jump to 60 in mid February for a day then back to cold. It rocks our sinuses. :lol:

21+ miles every morning this week.
Avg 8:30-8:45 pace.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, or whatever you happen to celebrate :D

Cooking dinner now for the in-laws.

Cheers folks!

This morning I ran 10 miles, which is my last
long run until the Goofy Challenge. It was also
my first long run with my new pair of shoes. I
had 850 miles on my last pair and wasn't feeling
any problems, but I thought I should be careful
just in case. My body is still feeling great and am
confident in my fitness going into the races. Hope
everyone had a wonderful holiday season and
I'll see my fellow disney racers next weekend!

Nice job.

I dont see how you put that many miles on a pair of shoes before replacing them. I seem to convince myself at 500 miles, my feet are hurting from the structure of the shoe breaking down etc. :lookaroun My wife would LOVE for me to get 800 per shoe.

12 miles this morning on a fall back week. 9:30 pace. Im not trying to sound arrogant with this comment and I appreciate and know everyone has there own pace, but it is very challenging for me to run 45-90 seconds slower than I want to run in my Full marathon pace. It is so hard for me to run at a 9:45+ pace. I just cant be done with my body (unless Im climbing a HUGE hill etc)

929 vertical feet climbed this morning
1642 ascended

good climbing day

Thanks!

You should have seen how long I wore my
pair before my last. I logged +1,000 miles on
them before replacing them and I still wasn't
feeling any problems!

To get ready for the Mississippi Blues Marathon on January 7, I drank a lot of beer and whiskey and drove back and forth to Nashville to watch a football game. Today I am going to do the same, but in New Orleans at a Saints game!

Here is the *awesome* finisher medal for the marathon race - this will be mine!

See, I am going to talk some of you into coming over to run Mississippi in 2013! I will be back to Run Disney again one day, but in the meantime there are several other awesome races with great finisher medals out there. :)

Sweet medal!

I start looking for a new shoe at 300. I have a slight over-pronation so there is no way I can go 500.

7 miles this AM. Just didn't feel right but pace was fast for me. Strange.

One more week to Marathon! :sohappy:

Awesome bling!

Are you still signed up for Mercedes? I hope so. We need to get lunch afterwards.

EDIT: Ok, I might be doing that MBM next year. 3 hour drive away.... very doable.

Ok, good. I dont feel so bad. Ill make 500 on these... but the sad thing is the tread on them is always in good shape. I guess it is the way my foot lands and takes off the pavement. Im nice to my shoes from that perspective. :shrug:

yes, I am doing the half marathon at Mercedes Benz. Looking for a p.r. in that one, hopefully.

The latest from the Mississippi Blues is they are giving away a harmonica and CD of blues songs in the swag bag. I hope Disney is stepping up its game for 2012 as well!

Just saw the pics on FB. Man, I wish it was a month out and Id do it. 1 week is too close. Next year!

Yes, RunDisney better step up the game.

Good, it is a good course for PR's. If you get over early and want me to drive the course for you, just holla
