It won't be a PR, that's for sure

So I'm scheduled to run the Walt Disney Marathon in a little more then a month......It's not going to be pretty.

It's not that I didn't want to do well. I really did. I'm going as part of Children with Diabetes. We thought as a focus on fitness and the family that being at an event like this would be fun. Walt Disney puts on a weekend of events, a 5k, a 1/2 marathon, and a full marathon - a distance for everyone. So a bunch of people got together and formed Team CWD.

But, I haven't been training. I felt fine after the Ironman, but I after the Atlantic City Marathon in October i was really drained. Then the weather that we should have been getting in Buffalo finally hit, and those things, plus the 40+++++ hour weeks I've been working finally took its toll. So, I'm about three pounds heavier, and much, much, much, less fit.

But, this isn't about me. It's about something bigger. I'm going out there to make a statement about diabetes - me and everyone else with Team CWD. We're going out there to show that those with diabetes can do anything they want to - and regardless of my shape, I'm going to be there.
