Disney Marathon

Just over 2 weeks until the Disney Marathon. I don't know how ready I am, but I'll be working to complete the 1/2 (13 miles) in 3 hours. Last year, I finished in 3.5 hours. I had a blister on my left heel that took up the entire heel by mile 8. The last 5 miles I was walking on my toes to keep the heel off the ground. I managed (with thighs screaming in pain) to finish and get my medal. I learned after I finished it that I had the absolute WRONG socks on (cotton), so this year I have runner's socks. I also had older shoes, this year I went to the local specialty store (Phidipides) and got fitted for the proper ones. I haven't trained as much this year, but I know I can finish. Here's to the Walk!
