Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge
So, after swearing I would never do it again — and then registering for it again. I ran my 4th Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge this past weekend. It included my 5th marathon and 8th half marathon.

This year, they let way too many people into the half marathon. I couldn’t even get more than a 10:30 pace. Of course, it could be because they assigned the same corral for both races, I don’t know. It was pretty bad though. So bad that I wasn’t looking forward to the marathon the next day.
The marathon was awesome though. I enjoyed it more than any other marathon so far, even more than the other 3 Disney marathons.

[...] I had a great run this morning at the Museum of Aviation Half-marathon through Robins Air Force Base! I ran it in 2:10, just 3 minutes off of my half marathon PR. I ran with my running buddy Crystal for the first 11 miles and broke away when I realized that I was so close to a new PR. Unfortunately, I couldn’t maintain the pace and I’m kicking myself for it. I’m still amazed that I did that well six days after the Disney Marathon! [...]
