There will be another full marathon for me sometime in the future. I've been debating on whether there is a fall full marathon I want to train for. Fortunately for me, in Southern California we've got lots of races to chose from. I was one of the lucky ones that got into the Dumbo Double Dare at Disneyland. So, this will be my Coast to Coast year with runDisney. <br /><br />I look forward to following along as you continue on your running journey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970768792371435412.post-53533065805955712042014-02-05T10:07:11.062-04:002014-02-05T10:07:11.062-04:00Wow, it seems my biggest problem will not be findi...Wow, it seems my biggest problem will not be finding a Half to run this fall but choosing from the ones that are being recommended. lol Nice problem to have in my opinion. And you are right. I think many people got caught up in the Dopey madness. It is very important to remember just how hard it is to get to the point of running a Half-Marathon, let alone Goofy or Dopey. But worry not, there will always be people who are supportive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114349109277448312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970768792371435412.post-78859468527498989722014-02-05T10:02:31.216-04:002014-02-05T10:02:31.216-04:00Thank you so much for all your support Ronald.

I was rather put off Marathon Weekend by those who found it necessary to say "oh, you're JUST running the Half?" Really?!? Do you have ANY idea what it took for me to get there?? Thankfully, many competitors just like you, know where you're coming from and appreciate that. :) If you want to try a beautiful full/half, come to Fort Lauderdale. The A1A races are gorgeous - right along the beach!Kimberley@Black Dog Runs the Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088843807966291592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970768792371435412.post-31722192153685126972014-02-03T23:08:52.449-04:002014-02-03T23:08:52.449-04:00Frank, running a sub 3 goal is an awesome goal. I ...Frank, running a sub 3 goal is an awesome goal. I wish I had the devotion to train that hard. It seems that I always have 2-3 races in place after so it is maintain is the key and not train. By reading about your journey, it inspires me and keeps me on track so I do not get burned out with all my own goals. I am glad you take us all along for the ride. Try running the Strip at Night for the Rock n Roll Las Vegas. This was a great experience last Nov.

I happened across your blog recently and I just wanted to say how much of an inspiration to me you are. I've gone back in your blogs archives and read everything - I loved seeing you succeed. I'm super excited about your new goals and can't wait to read about them. Thanks for sharing your journey!

I would also love to earn that coast to coast medal but the time and money involved in getting to California in the same calendar year as a wdw race is great as you had mentioned!

I'm not sure if going for Dopey as my first full was the best decision, seeing as how now I feel like no other race is quite "BIG" enough, haha. It's awesome that you're looking ahead to both Disney (and non-Disney) goals...and may I just say that Wine and Dine is an absolute BLAST?! Also, congrats on Goofy -- you'll LOVE it! :)Jennifer @ The Final Fortyhttp://www.thefinalforty.comnoreply@blogger.com
