Yes, you can still run the Full and if you finish the Full, you will get your Mickey medal. But you would not get the Goofy medal.
I finished my 20-miler today!!! 20.56 miles to be exact. Even with 16F and windy weather, I was able to get it done. I am SO HAPPY that I get to start my taper now!

I picked the Higdon Novice 1 and counted back from the date of the marathon to figure out where to start my training (I was too close to the race to do the full plan). I was in "OK" health, but at 5'10", 225 or so, nobody would confuse me for a runner! I stuck to the training as best I could, but missed some time with the holidays. My longest run leading up to the race was 20 miles, and it about killed me.
I went to Florida alone- no family or friends. This race was to prove to myself that I was tough enough mentally to make it. The night before the race, I ate a couple of pieces of pizza. Race morning I got up at 3 after sleeping maybe 5 hours and got ready. I remember so vividly sitting on that bus at 3:20 thinking "what in the hell am I doing?!?!" When I got to the warm up area I had no idea what to do. I stretched a little, milled around, then after an eternity, we were released to the corrals. Again, I found myself wondering how I got into this mess! I was petrified that I would not finish, that I would have to call my wife and tell her that I couldn't finish.
Then the race started, and the first mile was BRUTAL. Soon enough, I settled in and made it though the first half ahead of pace. I felt great up to mile 16-18 or so. Then the wheels fell off. My horrible dinner the night before wasn't enough to fuel me, and I didn't eat right during the race either. I started really fading around mile 22.
But you know what? I made it. I made practically every mistake a rookie runner could make, and I still got through it! And you know what else?? YOU WILL TOO!!!! In the next couple of weeks, even during the race, you. WILL have doubts. Don't give in. You've worked hard, and you can do it. Draw strength from all the other Disnuts around you and run through that finish line!!!
See y'all real soon!
So, what's the chance of the predicted rain moving out of the forecast by race day? I have been looking at accuweather and it shows rain both Saturday and Sunday. How do they even predict rain 3 weeks out???
Wow! A lot of accomplishments this weekend. Congrats everyone!
