Marathon Weekend 2020

Should I book a room only reservation now? I didn’t even think about it until I see some of you have already. I wasn’t planning on it until summer when they release 2020 packages. Is it hard to get a room?
 


I might be in for next year. Arthritis caught up with me late last year, and for a time my running career looked like it was over. Between losing some weight, cross training, running on forgiving surfaces, a lot of vegetables, spices and herbs, I've been able to manage it to the point that I'm running 30 miles/week now. I can't run longer than a 10k on the road, though, without my joints complaining. I think I can squeeze another 15-20 lbs off, though, and I know based on experience that will make an enormous difference to my joint pain. If I get to that point I'll probably give MW another go. My son and his friends did the half this year.

Hey there! A few of us were just discussing at DATW today that we hadn’t seen you on the boards for a while!

Aww - I missed you guys so much and I felt it was time to come back now that it's 2019. :)

I decided to take a year from Disney races and focus on the World Majors - have London in April and Chicago in October to wrap up the series. But I may try to sneak in Wine and Dine if I am able to make the budget work. But yes, something WDW Marathon Weekend is in works for 2020. I have friends trying to get me to do Dopey 2020 so... my "one and done' Dopey Challenge status may not be forever. ;)
 
So you know you're going crazy when during the marathon as part of the Dopey challenge you start thinking "if I do this again next year..."

Fortunately, reason has now caught up along with hydration. Since 2 early mornings are enough, Goofy challenge 2020 it is.

I'm definitely, possibly, probably, undoubtedly, certainly, maybe running or not running Marathon Weekend in 2020.

I like a person of integrity. :-)

Ya know, by running Goofy I'll have enough vacation time to also run the Star Wars challenge. That still adds up to 6 medals. Nice try though. ;)
 
Chris and I have gone from "nope, we are done for awhile" to "well maybe we could do it again" and back about 10 times over our dinner conversation.

I’ve got a little bit of FOMO, but the more I discuss it with myself - the FOMO is over missing out spending time with my DIS friends and not so much on the races ... if that makes sense?

I’m just kinda burnt on RunDisney right now - from our resident corral jumping cheater to behavior of participants to “been there, done that” to the courses and themes - I think a break and chance to date other race weekends is going to be beneficial to me and hopefully will make me fall back in love with RunDisney in the future.
