“A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.” - Walt Disney

Taper Time!

Saturday's 12 miler was the last long run in my training plan before the Dumbo Challenge.  It was hot, humid, and uphill home, but we toughed it out and got it done.  Didn't break any speed records, but we covered the distance without any major issues, and that's about all I can ask for at this point.

Test Run

Since Saturday's run was "just" six miles, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to try out part(s) of my costume for the Disneyland 10K in a couple weeks.  I'm not going to ruin the surprise by telling you what the plan is, but I'll show you this little teaser below...

I wanted to make sure that this, along with the top and skirt I have chosen, will be acceptable for 6.2 miles...and they were!  I need to reduce the length of the cord a little bit so it's less noticeable to me on the "upswing," but otherwise, it was a great test run!

Still worried about the Dumbo Challenge, but getting excited about the trip and seeing friends!
