    To Infinity and Beyond - Becoming a Better DopeyBadger (Comments Welcome)

    It was me and about ten minutes after saying hello, about the time I got on the Skyliner, I realized I never (re)introduced myself! 😂

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    First of all, congratulations to all the runners who showed up this weekend. “Less than ideal” doesn’t begin to describe MW 2020. This will be long and wordy. I won't feel bad if you don’t want to read all of this, but please scroll down to the last paragraph. Most of you know of my...

    GOOF TROOP! WDW Marathon Weekend 2020 ... finshed 3/8. Comments welcome!

    Between Rogue Two's successful mission and the super secret jello shot station, the 10K was pretty good this year.

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    SAFD: 1. I will have a great time at the HH meet up! 2. I will spend my days leading up to the marathon telling my inner voice to shut up already about whether I can do this after my ridiculous injury and very little running over the past month. 3. I will spend the marathon reminding myself...

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    1. It will make my packing lighter--shorts, charity singlet, no fleecy toss clothes. 2. It reduces my anxiety about how my body will react temp-wise to stopping/restarting during a race for characters, etc. No need to worry about getting chilled. 3. Salted Caramel Gu is what I have chosen as...

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    I am about ten pages behind, but am going to jump straight to posting. I have not been on a real run in over two weeks - December 2nd to be specific. On December 3rd I was doing laundry and reached behind me to grab a hanger and ended up twisting my left knee. I tried to walk it off, then I...

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    Thanks all for the replies! I consulted with one Mr. Higdon and adjusted my LRs accordingly. Going to start with a two hour run tomorrow and start ramping up a bit more conservatively than I did my last training cycle.

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    So since my return to training took a bit longer than anticipated, I need to revamp my long run expectations - no way the 16 miles I had originally scheduled for Friday is happening. For those you running the marathon, what distance do you have down for this weekend? (I really hope it’s not...

    ATTQOTD: I have this black lightweight zip up that I have worn to several local half-marathons and at least two Disney marathons, always with the intent to toss it at some point. Instead it gets tied around my waist or, during Dopey one year, handed to my husband in AK. The one time I actually...

    October stats a few days late: Miles - 68.01 Avg HR - 138 Avg Pace - 15:09 (40+ seconds above most of this year's average?) After three 110+ mile months, mileage dropped big time in October, mainly thanks to tapering before and resting after Chicago. I am having a very difficult time getting...

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    Other than WDW, I have only been to Disneyland, but will be traveling to Japan this summer. We will only have time to hit one park while we are there (traveling with family who are not Disney fans), so pretty sure we will probably go with Disney Sea. I grew up with WDW and thought it would...

    Yes! The GSM half isn't all that hilly either....the Shenandoah Half the week before, however, is a monster. :)

    Here is my current medal situation. My sister bought me the one on the left and I bought the one on the right after Dopey 2018. Still have a few that need to be added to the display and am trying to decide if I want to do anything special with my Chicago medal. I don’t keep all my bibs, but...

    Ran for the first time today after taking a week off following Chicago. Did an easy thirty minutes and then came home and foam rolled for a while. Legs are definitely still recovering. Had planned on doing a reverse taper this week, but may adjust tomorrow if my legs feel the same as today...

    I am a Chicago Marathoner! I didn’t hit the time I wanted, but I did still score a nearly fifteen minute PR. I am happier about that today than I was yesterday, though still disappointed. My watch died shortly after the twenty mile mark. I know some of you do a great job running by effort...

    Haha!! That is actually the app I downloaded last night which made me ask this question today. Wanted to make sure I was understanding it correctly. Thanks!

    A quick question for those of you who understand your Garmin better than me... I am setting things up for Chicago this Sunday and am planning to mark mile laps manually. I have auto-pause turned off. Am I correct in my believing that the “average lap” setting will now display the average of...
