I am back from my Disney weekend and we did not have the results we were looking for. It was a hard fight but in the end I had to walk away so that I could live to fight another day. At the time I packed it in I had slowed down so much and I was still on pace. That’s kind of ironic after me not even being close to keeping pace last year. A couple good things from these races were that my brother in law completed the Goofy Challenge (again) and my wife finished her first (and last) marathon. When I could no longer go I made sure struggle my way to the Magic Kingdom and then to Animal Kingdom to support my family. Last year I was pretty hurt about it, this year I was just disappointed but ready to get things back together and continue my mission. I am going to race more frequently, I am looking for a half marathon in a couple months or so if anyone reads this and knows about any good ones in their area I would love to hear about them. I am going to focus on shedding some more pounds so over the next couple months I can take some of the stress off of my legs. I have to believe that the weight and possibly going out too fast at Disney may have done me in. This is a problem I deal with, cardio wise I can handle it but my joints and things can’t. We live and learn. I’m anxious to get back to it but I need to make sure I didn’t do anything serious first. I ran into a few people over the weekend and I appreciate all of your support. With support like this how can I stop? My story continues…
