It was the first of 4 straight mornings getting up 4 a.m., which might be the biggest challenge of this whole circus. Unless you’re talking about the “Getting Up Early” Sweepstakes. I’m also strongly considering the inaugural Disneyland Paris Half Marathon in the fall. If you have followed my “progress” as I learn how to run (and I don’t use the term “learn” sarcastically–there’s a surprising amount to know besides just putting one foot in front of the other at a rapid pace…that, or I’m just clueless), you know I did the full Marathon last year (if not, read about my misadventures in my Walt Disney World Marathon Trip Report) followed by the Disneyland Half Marathon last September. So, at least this time I have a good excuse, I suppose. In this case, it was because a couple of friends privately messaged me (likely to save me deserved embarassement) after reading my nonsense and informed me that it’s not recommended to start intense training at the last minute. In that post, I vowed to start training harder in the home stretch…but that never happened (double shocker). If you read my Walt Disney World Marathon Preview that I posted a couple of weeks ago, you know training wasn’t going so well (big shocker). All told, it’s roughly 48 miles (I’m going to round it up to an even 50 to account for the epic strolls to the corrals, plus extra distance weaving among crowds). For those unfamiliar with it, the Dopey Challenge is participating in the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon. This weekend, I’m taking that dopiness to the next level by participating in the Dopey Challenge during Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend.
