I originally planned to accept the Goofy Challenge and when I saw this new run series on the marathon page. I started to dismiss it out of hand, thinking I AM goofy, but certainly not dopey. The more I thought about it, the idea started to grow on me. Finally, I decided the difference in mileage will be minimal compared to the satisfaction of the achievement! And who can turn down earning 6 medals over 4 days (5k, 10k, half, full, goofy, and dopey).
The good news is I will not undertake this challenge alone. My bother and a friend, Dave, already threw their names in the hat while my wife signed up for the 1/2. We plan to get the kids signed up for their race which will make this a fun family adventure.
Time to quit writing and get running . . .
