It is daunting--at least for me but you are going all the way there right???<br /><br />PS Excited to have you in Ptown for the marathon here--we will be in our house then and will actually have a real bed for you to sleep on and everything!Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468073781328699944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-49278743215283248422010-07-05T10:20:00.198-07:002010-07-05T10:20:00.198-07:00One week won't make a difference...besides, if...One week won't make a difference...besides, if you're not really "racing" and treating it more like a long run you don't really have to back off training all that much. reading the other comments...if there really is a women's long sleeve v-neck on the line, i say go for it!<br /><br />to goofy or not to goofy...i think i would let the $$ lost be my judge. if it wasn't too much extra dough i'd go ahead and sign up for it. then i'd let my body direct me. since it's right after your PR attempt, you don't want to hold back the week before. so, run your little heart out and then in the days following make a decision about the goofy. hope that makes sense...dawn @ running the dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189689892227962182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-60095451666663197802010-07-03T14:45:15.097-07:002010-07-03T14:45:15.097-07:00Decision 2...go for the BLING.

And they shake their head and look at you like you're crazy.<br /><br />Decision 1. For me, there is something about being close to home, knowing where everything is. Plus its cheaper without the hotel, gas, food, etc.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02527827359630897863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-51270436162655693522010-07-03T04:15:14.162-07:002010-07-03T04:15:14.162-07:00I say Eye-Q marathon since the course sounds bette...I say Eye-Q marathon since the course sounds better.

However, I would opt for the more scenic race :)<br /><br />On the Goofy front I would actually be tempted to only run the full in your case. I think it seems sort of a celebration of the full and I mean we all know you're a machine that can crank out the Goofy Challenge and run back to back marathons :) so maybe it might be nice to just enjoy the marathon on that trip?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-17710491956847700452010-07-01T13:35:34.124-07:002010-07-01T13:35:34.124-07:00SVM is super boring.

I'm prob 20 min from race start.<br /><br />And I agree with the others... just do Goofy. You'll regret it if you don't. Honestly, knowing what I know now, I would only do Goofy, doing just the half or just the full just seems silly.audgepodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589920897176813735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-65232893945518570952010-07-01T11:27:15.995-07:002010-07-01T11:27:15.995-07:00Regarding #1, one week of training setback will pr...Regarding #1, one week of training setback will probably make zero difference at your level of fitness. You just need to decide whether you're running a marathon to run a marathon, or doing it for fun. Personally, I'd go for Eye-Q, if funds weren't a problem. Then again, I lived in Fresno for a year as a kid, so I'm partial.<br /><br />Regarding #2, if you're going to regret not doing Goofy, you might as well go for it. <br /><br />Regarding Mario, I must kiss that nose! You should bring him with you when you come to do the Texas Marathon, so I can cover him in smooches.Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-36069636262525741082010-07-01T11:13:43.034-07:002010-07-01T11:13:43.034-07:00katie ran fresno last year and she LOVED it... you...katie ran fresno last year and she LOVED it... you should ask her about it. the other one i have heard is boring snoring.<br /><br />goofy is tough, will you be sad you are there and NOT running goofy? i mean you are going ALL the way there :)Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.com
