A Full Marathon?
I got a phone call last night from my SIL, Emily, asking me a question, "Do you have any desire to run a full marathon?" She told me that there are two she was looking into doing. The first you have to run as a team and it's based on a lottery. We have to register by April 1st and then they let us know I think by April 30th if we get in or not. That one is not till October so I have plenty of time to train. The other one is a bit intimidating even for a marathon. It's done at Walt Disney World and it's called "The Goofy Challenge." The first day you run a half marathon. Okay, that's not so bad, I've done lots of those. The second day, however, you run a full marathon. That's right! You run a half and then the very next day you run a full. You get three medals for that one and Emily thought, "What idiot could I sucker into running with me?" I'm a sucker for medals! I love the ones I have but I'm not sure I'm willing to kill myself for three medals. I told Emily I would think about it, but a lot of my decision rests on a certain trial I mentioned earlier. I think the one in October seems like something I could contemplate. What do you think?

Miss and love you -- just thought you should know :D
I think you're bonkers! Ok, so I've fallen off the running wagon, but that sounds insane. Especially considering what we've already chatted about. Emily called me too and I told her maybe next year. This year I would love to try to run a half, but even that depends if I start getting more sleep!
I think the October race sounds like a good idea...but Disney World would be so fun!...well, aside from the running like 40 miles in two days part! Love ya!
