Has anyone experienced a big curveball on their way to 2018 marathon weekend?
I don't want to come across as an episode of Jerry Springer here, but I separated from my partner a few weeks ago. It is a sad time and one with a lot of change, I have found a new place to live, and am slowly going through motions of a breakup from a long-term relationship.
Additionally, we booked our trip and have everything paid for. We are still going to be friends, and he will be running Dopey, and I am doing marathon. His family, who I still get along with, will be there too (in separate rooms).
So it's definitely a different road to marathon weekend than I was anticipating. I've pretty much stopped running all month, and need to catch up. And I'll need to get used to running in a new neighbourhood.
But it's great to have this to focus my energy on, fully step into to sort out some thoughts, and I know it'll be great to be at WDW marathon weekend, even if it's not what I'd originally envisioned. And I am lucky, this does not affect my ability to run, or challenge my health.
Take care all, and may any challenges you are going through help make you stronger.
