Disney Marathon Coming Up

So, I haven't blogged since around last year's Disney Marathon, but I always seem to blog more at the beginning of the year. I did lots of all cool stuff last year including visiting Australia.  I've been meaning to blog about the food and culture there, but I haven't.  I'll try to be a better blogger this year.  Right now, I want to blog about Disney.

I've been training for the Disney Marathon's Dopey Challenge this year.  This is a 5k + 10k + half marathon + whole marathon.  Yes, I'm crazy.  But Disney is crazy fun.



I used Hal Higdon's guide, because I used Galloway's official guide for Goofy last year, and I didn't feel prepared.  Do I feel prepared this year? Not really.  I'm freaking out just a little bit.

Besides doing all the races, I'll be hitting the parks and using the new MagicBands and FastPass+ systems.  I hope to blog about each of those things (and maybe some healthy eating choices on the dining plan).  I wish I would have blogged about my park days more last year, so I'm making an effort to do it this year!

I do have costumes planned because I'm a nut.  I'm going as Ariel for the first two races, Vanellope Von Schweetz for the half and JUST KEEP SWIMMING Dory for the whole (may change my mind about one of the Ariels).  I'm looking forward to an awesome Disney time.  I just hope the weather holds out. They're calling for rain.
