@nascfan, that’s what I was thinking… ease up to even run/walk intervals and use in-between time wisely: fueling, hydrating, resting and just generally taking it easy. Boy, sounds like a rough way to spend a Saturday.
Yeah, we’ll see. I’m still not entirely sure it’s the best idea I’ve ever had but I’m pretty certain it’s not the worst idea either. @connie96 I can think of worse ways! I think we can be fairly confident it’s not the worst idea you’ve had!
@connie96 you can definitely do both 5K’s in one day!
Just have fun!
@nascfan @missingWDW Thanks, y’all. I’m still only signed up for the one at this point. I’m going to wait and see how I feel about the other as it gets closer.
Yesterday I got out for my first run since the Dopey Challenge!
I ran the home track, which was like finding my footing all over again I stumbled once or twice but didn’t fall. I ran as far as my muscles were willing to go, which wasn’t that much. My left calf muscle started acting up, so I quit so as to avoid a pulled muscle. 2.0 miles

13’15″/mileIt’s no secret life has been crazy since Dopey. Christy got the Flu, we had multiple church-related events to tend to including a weekend camping trip (in a cabin), then I got Strep and finally came off the antibiotics last Friday early morning. On top of everything else, my parents are having their house built which I am actively helping with parts of that process and we’re fixing up our own home in places. I mention all this as the reasoning for my not-so-ambitious goals (compared to Dopey). In the near term, I hope to work back up to running at least 5K every week; twice per week if time and fitness permits. April 2021 I plan to run the Star Wars races at WDW
(not sure Christy will run them with me, but she’s likely to at least be there to watch). So as I get closer to that date, I’ll be upping my weekly distance.@nascfan As with Dopey, I plan on doing all 3 races because I’m nuts like that
@rocketear99 you definitely are!
I will likely do the 5k with my wife and daughter and hopefully all of these folks: @warrsm and @kcboston and @breesmommy5 and @ccoop73 and then I’ll probably do the 10k with my son-in-law, you, and and whoever else wants to. Oh and I hope @monkcline can do the 10k with me too! I’m hoping @abeach can come too! I’ll leave the long distance to you folks. My son-in-law will be doing the Half and I’m sure @eeyorepoohfan and Ryan will also. I’m much better at cheering for Halfs! Yikes! I didn’t know the D-COT crowd had grown to that size!
That’s AMAZING! @Nascfan you know I want to sooooooo bad (heck, if I wasn’t away I would have strongly considered a Wine and Dine this year!)
I haven’t posted in here in a while because I haven’t been able to run for 2 months
. I had been on and off with the running, and I started again in December and was making some really great progress and feeling good, and my hip started hurting. Didn’t think it was a big deal, maybe I needed to stretch a little more before and after, so I pushed through. Then the pain was so bad that I had to stop after 2 miles. Tried again another day, had to stop after 1 mile. Gave it 3 days rest, and had to stop after a 1/2 mile. So long story short, I’ve been seeing a chiropractor/physical therapist since mid-January. I’m not in constant, excruciating pain anymore, but I’m not at the point where I can run either. So fingers crossed for a full recovery soon, so I can start training for 2021!
