I know it is near impossible for me to train outdoors in the winters here. The lungs do.not.like.cold. I prefer to NOT run on the dreadmill for up to 3 or more hours…..If I do end up doing the 2016 Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend out at Disneyland, it may very well be a one and one for me. Unless we move to a less cold place. The *smarter* thing for me to do is load up the fall with my events so I can use spring and summer to train. This may be perfect! And I will not do all of the ones listed. Here’s an example of what 2015 could end up looking like:
Jan – WDW Marathon Weekend. Going Goofy! Disney Cruise Line Castaway Cay 5K Challenge
Feb – WDW Princess 10K
March – volunteer again at Rock and Roll DC
April – Iron Girl Half (but it’s always a week prior to MiniIndy or Frederick)
May – MiniIndy (already signed up and room booked!), Run For The Dream (Williamsburg, VA), Zooma Annapolis
June – Marine Corps Run Amuck, The Nude Run 5K (not sure yet if it will happen in 2015), Baltimore 10 Miler
July – Rock and Roll Chicago
August – Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend/Dumbo Double Dare, Zooma Chicago
September – Navy and Air Force Half Marathon, Divas Half Marathon, Rock and Roll Virginia Beach
October – Baltimore Running Fest, Marine Corps Marathon (already signed up due to 2014 transfer!), Wilson Bridge Half, Army 10 Miler
November – Battlefield Half, Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon, Richmond Half Marathon, Annapolis Half
December – Surf n Santa Virginia Beach, Celtic Solstice (Baltimore)
So a lot of local races and I still get my Disney in!! So who knows how it will actually end up. But I got 2 in the books already 🙂
