The weather Gods have been smiling kindly upon the Crescent City for the past couple weeks. The premature fall-like weather has been a welcome change to a usually hot, muggy, miserable month of August. A trough of wind shear has settled over the Gulf Coast and has not only brought drier air with it, but has warded off tropical weather (ie Hurricanes) from even approaching the Gulf of Mexico.

Yesterday, the weather was so amazing, I ran 13 miles and didn't think twice about it. The temperatures and lack of humidity were so enjoyable, I was sad to see the run come to an end. I did two laps around Audubon Park, St Charles Avenue from the park to Jackson Avenue and back... and then did an additional lap around the park just for funsies. With the Tupelo Marathon on Sunday morning, I should be in the middle of a taper this week... but it's just so hard to resist a run with this weather.

Let's hope high temps in the 60's are on the horizon. Fingers crossed!

I bought my plane tickets to travel to the Walt Disneyworld Marathon / Goofy Challenge this morning! Southwest's 'DING!' feature donged this morning, and let me know that flights opened up through Mid-March. I immediately logged on and booked my tickets to fly down on January 7th and back on January 11th of 2010. Its VERY exciting to have everything booked for the trip!

Also, I decided that since I will be there anyway for the Goofy Challenge (Half Marathon 13.1 Miles on Saturday / Full Marathon 26.2 Miles on Sunday), I should go ahead and be Dopey by doing the Family Fun Run 5K on Friday morning in Epcot. It was 95% at capacity, so I registered to get that 4th medal, and additional pin, and even more bragging rights.

Soon after booking, I told a coworker who used to work with the Disney Marathon Series... and she told me that I won't be able to walk a week later. I doubt that will be the case, but if it is... the pride will be well worth the soreness. I can't Freakin' Wait!!!

Since I have started running, my body has undergone numerous changes. Of course, there are the visible changes from
hoping its Grape.
