Why you ask? Because I've signed up to do Dopey in January! {Side note: For those of you who don't know, this is a 4 day event comprised of the following: 5K (Thursday), a 10K (Friday), a Half Marathon (Saturday) and a Marathon (Sunday). It is new for 2014} After 6 years of running the half, I'm finally taking the plunge. Goofy has been running through my mind for a bit now, and when they announced the Dopey Challenge, I figured why not? Ok, well...not really. Here's a bit of how my thought process went.
Initial thought - those people are insane. Then I thought maybe I can do the 10K and the Half (like the Dumbo Double Dare in Disneyland) so I could be perfect in the 10K. And I have been thinking about doing Goofy in 2015 for the 10th anniversary (plus the 10K so I'd be perfect in it). And if I was going to to do the 10K, the Half and the Marathon, I might as well do the 5K and go Dopey. And if I was going to go Dopey, what better year to do it then in the inaugural year, right? And that's how I can around to signing up for Dopey.
So it's done. I'm signed up already. Holy cow. Can't believe I am going to do this.
