So a while back I wrote about the fact that I’d dropped some weight and began running on a regular basis. In March of this year my friend Josh Carnes and I completed a half-marathon (and my lovely wife Emily even participated in a 5k, her first run since high school).

The goal all along has been for us to run a marathon before Carnes turns 30 years old. Frankly, time is running out.

So we’ve signed up and paid our fees to enter the annual Disney World Marathon to take place this January 11, 2009. Given the fact that I’ve blown off running and working out since our half-marathon in March, I have exactly 16 weeks to prepare myself for this bad boy of 26.2 miles.

I figure that in the worst case scenario I’ll underprepare, suck up the race, and get consoled by Snow White and some dwarves. I’ve been through much worse in life, so no worries.
