Hi-Hooooo

The Goofy Challenge sold out pretty fast - it's the 20th anniversary so I assume people wanted in on that. We're back to being Dopey runners :D

The main "con" about Dopey is it's a lot more expensive, but it's got a lot of "pros," including just the simple fact that I enjoy feeling like a rock star with my Dopey finisher medal walking (or hobbling) around the park on Sunday afternoon.

I do wish Disney would fix their registration code - there's a weird bug where as you try to check out, it says you need to pick a shirt size, and when you scroll back to that section, the drop down menu has nothing in it. So you have to back out of registration entirely and try again, losing valuable time and possibly missing out on your race. A LOT of people on the subreddit were complaining about that.

But anyway, we're both in for Dopey that weekend, YAY! And the "vintage athletics" style of graphics they've gone with this year really tickles my fancy. Hopefully they'll make some actual felt pennants or something. I'm a sucker for all this retro stuff. Gimme a break. I'm old.

I've still got a couple of weeks before I even need to think about starting training. I'm probably not heading out to run today since it's already late and I'd like to get a weightlifting workout in. I'm also firing up the smoker to make peri-peri chicken, along with Nigerian jollof rice and honey cornbread muffins for dinner tonight.

Never had peri-peri chicken before, but I generally like spicy food and would give it a try were I able.
