This is the first post of what I hope will be many on girlsgonegoofy. We are a group of women who have decided to do the Goofy Race and Half at Walt Disney World. What does that mean? We will be running 39.3 miles over the course of one weekend. The first 13.1 will be done on Saturday, January 8th, 2011. The next 26.2 will be done on Sunday, January 9th, 2011. Some of us will even be doing an extra 5K on Friday, January 7th, 2011.
So, now that you know we are crazy, I guess you should meet us.
I am Katie. I am just about the slowest runner in all the land. And, in spite of that, I have done the Disney World full marathon, the Disney Princess half marathon, the ING Atlanta half marathon, the Disneyland half marathon and I am about to run the Disney World Princess half marathon again. So, I guess no matter how much I protest that I am not a runner, I am a bit of a runner.
However, those that will be posting after me, are real runners. You will see. They are hardcore. I wish I was half as good as they are.
But, for now, welcome! I hope you enjoy following our motley crew through the agony that is race training!
