The road to the Disney Half Marathon- Two weeks and counting


I'm starting to get really excited for the Disney Half Marathon! As of today, the race is exactly two weeks away, and we leave in less than that. I'm in the home stretch, I can see the light at the end of the training tunnel, (add in any other sports cliche you'd like). And it's feeling great... well so to speak. Now that my knee has settled down a bit, my foot is bothering me, but those are just problems that I know how to avoid for my next running race. For now I'm beyond excited for this race.
       The 'official' RunDisney facebook page has been updating like crazy with videos and excited people and the event itself has sent a lot of last minute confirmation emails, so with nothing else to look forward to this winter break, my sights are set squarely on the Disney Half Marathon.
       For all of you that can't make it, I'll be documenting the whole thing. I'll be taking an insane amount of pictures and who knows maybe I'll take a few videos and make them into a youtube video (if I can figure out how).

     p.s. I must be crazy, but here's a new update on my racing endeavors. A friend of mine just convinced me to sign up for the Go! St. Louis Half Marathon in early April. Despite the fact that I'm an abysmal runner and every year people drop like flies from the heat, I'll do it anyways just for the heck of it. A few friends are also doing it which is pretty much the only reason why I even considered it. But here's the real kicker, the day before is the Run For Your Lives 5k where I'm going to be a 'chaser zombie' for a few hours in the morning. Sooo....we'll see how this works out, with my main concern being potentially getting injured during the 5k. So I'll have an exciting weekend to relay to you all after the first week in April.

In light of my Disney trip---- remember that Disney is an amazingly magical place (I don't care how old you are, nobody can deny this fact) and if you're doing one or more of the races that weekend, have an amazing time!
