I was originally planning on running in the Indianapolis Mini on May 4th, but a Disney running buddy from the W.i.S.H. team that I'm part of will be running in the Flying Pig. With the offer to share expenses, it made it a deal that would be hard to pass up. After all, they Flying Pig is celebrating an anniversary this year and that means special BLING!

| Cincinnati Flying Pig |
I made a promise to myself that if I dropped 20 pounds by the time 2014 Marathon weekend registration price increased, I would sign up for the FULL MARATHON! Current tally has me having already lost 1/2 of that. As of last weeks weigh in for Dad and I, I was back down to the lowest I had been since a year prior. 243. The illness I had after coming home from Marathon Weekend took 12 pounds off and aftrer I was feeling better I put a couple of those pounds back on.
How am I going to pull this off? I do not know at this point. This trip could possibly be the first trip in quite some time that I go to Florida and not go to the parks! (Except for the run through during the race!) In looking at the plan above, I'm going to be putting almost 200 miles on shoes that have already begun to show age. I plan on making them work for as long as I can while training. Once I get to the point that I'll be training for the Full... I'm probably going to need at least 2 more pairs of shoes! I'm keeping an eye out for some sales like I ran into when I got shoes at the end of their model year for cheap... but I think I've already missed that mark!

| Garmin Forerunner 610 |
I would REALLY love to be able to upgrade my GPS watch to the Garmin Forerunner 610. I just really don't see that happening. Even with getting the watch only, as my accessories from my current watch will work with this one, still puts it a large sum of cash output.
Lesson learned from this past Marathon Weekend is the fact that I cannot tell the difference between my watch beeping and the 10,000 other people with Garmins beeping. The 610 has the option to vibrate.
In looking at training plans, the weekend that my plan I'm thinking of using has me running a half marathon will fall EXACTLY on the weekend for this year's Indy Monumental Half! So, I may be thinking of doing that also!
So, what is this all about? Well, 2015 is an anniversary year for the Goofy at Disney World. A Marathon and a half all in one weekend! I would like to do this with my W.i.S.H. teammates! Am I crazy? Quite possibly. Or maybe just committed, as in SHOULD BE.
Remaining adventures of Marathon Weekend
I'm still working on my pictures for that weekend in January. I swore I had certain pictures, then I realized that they were on my iPhone. So, I've been sorting through those.
With a new training regimen about to begin, I'm hoping that I'll start blogging this as I go, as I have in the past.
Thanks for Reading! Regards,
