Congrats on getting registered for Goofy and very cool that your mom will be attempting her first marathon.
Sounds like training could not be going better and that you're well positioned for the race! Hopefully the weather forecast improves (long-range forecasts like that are notoriously prone to error) and you have ideal conditions for the run. Keep up that discipline of holding yourself back and let it all out for the race!!
I'm so excited to go back to WDW again! I'm so proud of my mom for even attempting a marathon. I know she has been inspired by what I've been able to accomplish and she wants to join in. She is an extremely competitive person so it will be important to reign her in and keep her focused during training. I think she learned a lot about herself and the necessities of endurance running during her WDW half this past January. I'm excited to see how she does and to cheer her across the finish line.
I'm so happy with where I'm at right now. Honestly, I'm not sure if I could be more prepared. Now it's just a matter of enjoying (and pulling back ) the last week of easy training. I had my last hard workout today and it couldn't have gone better. Was suppose to run 13 miles with 10 at marathon pace (7:52) and averaged 7:52 for those 10 miles (with 9/10 paces within desired range, slipped up and allowed a 7:37 in there). My cadence showed I was getting more and more comfortable at pace. I'm so ready!
