Leaving Canada once again

Thanks for all the get-well wishes. Fortunately I woke up feeling better on Saturday morning after 48 long and miserable hours. Between going to Cuba, craptastic weather back at home and getting sick, this has turned out to be much more of a taper than planned, but I'll make it to the finish line(s) one way or another.

We're driving to Buffalo tonight and flying to Orlando tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to a week of exploring the parks, riding every ride, spending time with some amazing people (16 of us are going), meeting a certain Redhead, checking out a massive expo.... and running a little half and full marathon next weekend. I will be coming home with some serious bling.

I'll try to check in once or twice while we're away. Have a great week and GOOD LUCK to my fellow Goofs!


Disney World, here we come!

You get to meet Morgan, fun times!! Robin at Westford Mommy is running Goofy too..

Oh I am sooo excited to hear a report. You will have a blast.

Hope you are 333% by the time you lace up.

Glad you are feeling better and I am super excited for you and your goofy!! I personally cannot imagine doing both half and full back to back - so I am super inspired by this and can't wait to hear how it goes. Goodluck!!!

Denise said...

Kick butt, Marlene!! I think getting sick before a big run like this is almost good...you'll be SO well rested. Have fun!

Jess said...

Unfortunately, it is is really cold here in FL right now, and the chill is supposed to last all week and through the weekend. This is good news for Goofy since the highs are probably gonna be in the 50s or 60s, but it's bad for park enjoyment. (Be sure you pack some warm start clothes -- the lows are forecasted to be in the 30s! And with the race start at 6 am, it's gonna be cold for you runners!)

Maybe it will magically warm up for you. I hope it does! Either way, enjoy your trip and good luck with Goofy!!

Have a great time! My husband bought a cool frame package for his medals and number. They give you extra medals and a new number for the frame and it is very nice. Look for it at the expo if you want something special to remember the races by. Good Luck!!

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of Redhead! I've been reading her blog all morning and melted with her love story.

Now I must continue trolling the blog world, looking for single man bloggers...
