Call it temporary insanity?

So, here we go... I've been in sort of a motivational lull when it comes to training lately. In a random discussion of this issue, I got caught up in an exciting moment and found myself registering for Disney's Goofy Race and a Half Challenge. For those not in-the-know, the 'Goofy Challenge' is one of the more prestigious running events in the country. Over the Disney Marathon Weekend in January, participants willingly subject themselves to a half-marathon on Saturday followed by a full marathon on Sunday. Total distance = 39.3 miles over two days. I know what you're thinking: not smart. I honestly can't argue. But I am going to chronicle my journey to full-on Goofy. The race takes place January 10th and 11th 2009. That said, I've got 51 weeks to get into the best shape of my life. What better way to celebrate my 30th year?

Current weight: 188 lbs. (yikes; I'm blaming the holidays).
