Just wrapped up week 3 of 15 in marathon training. Then the ultimate "A" goal race for the last 5 years will be on Oct 1st. I'm going for sub 3. Then I'll be pacing @roxymama at the Milwaukee 10k to goal crushing aspirations. After that, Dopey training starts for my attempt at a top 10 cumulative finish. I'll be using a @DopeyBadger training plan for these.

Not officially for Dopey, but techinically that will be culmination of all this year's runs.
First up Army 1/2 on September 17 then County Marathon (although it is only a 1/2) on Oct 1- so two opportunities for a better POT!!
Officially focus on Dopey beginning mid-October.
Clocks/markers are only at every mile, not Kilometers. But In the half the timing mats are at 5k, 10k, 15k, but can't remember if any k's are left up for the full since timing mats are at the 5 mile, 10 mile, 15 mile, 20 mile, not ks, for the full, but I'm sure someone else knows for sure.
Going to tell mom-in-law that this is the name of her 10K + Half challenge. I love it!

Still haven't come up with a creative name for the 10K + Marathon challenge, but the thought of having a Minnie + Mickey medal (with a day off in between to rest) seemed perfect.
As for training, currently, Coach @DopeyBadger has me on a plan for the Rock n Roll Philadelphia Half Marathon on 9/17. I'm running the DL 10K with my mom in early Sept., but I'm going to pace mom to her goal for that one (which will be at my long run pace or slower). After 9/17, Coach is going to continue to help with a WDW marathon training plan, but I'm choosing to view the current plan as the beginning of marathon training, so as to keep the "A goal" in mind (which is to get to and finish my first marathon prepared, uninjured, and happy).
I'm the opposite, I love running in the summer no matter how hot we get since it's better than winter
But I totally hear you on the ice cream, I'm pretty sure I've had icecream in some way as part of dessert at night for like the last month, but I doubt I'll hault it although my stomach says I should!
Yep, I put my proof of time distance, which is a half marathon for me when I pick it.
Wed 03/01 - Boma 5pm
04/01 - Tiffins 12pm
05/01 - Cape May Cafe 5pm
06/01 - Kona 11am
07/01 - Yachtsman 6.50pm
Only eaten at Boma before and that was for breakfast so really looking forward to all our meals. What was that old bit of advice about not trying anything new before a race
So I'm currently training for two at the beginning of September and then will maintain until the Chicago marathon. At that point I will pick up the Dopey training schedule. The fourth marathon kind of just fits into the Dopey training.
