Victoria International Marathon

Despite the conventional wisdom which says to rest after an Iron distance triathlon, or any long distance event, I've found myself a few days from participating in the VIM. Oh what was I thinking?

Actually, I thought it a good idea to keep myself moving and motivated as I work towards the 2008 Disney World Goofy's Marathon and Half. Now that's crazy! But honestly, doesn't doing a 5km Friday, a Half marathon Saturday, and then a full marathon through Disney World on the Sunday sound fun? And it sounds even better when you factor a week cruise right afterwards with a wonderful wife and a few other running friends.

I'm determined this time to not become a couch potatoe after an Ironman, like happened last time. So wish me luck for the VIM, and hope for a dry and wind free day, unlike the last VIM I did. But, alas, the forecast is not promising.
