Soooo...I am not ashamed to admit that my running journey began around 3 years ago when I decided that it would be totally cool to run through Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World. Having been to Disney so many times, I am always trying to think of things that I haven't haven't done, and that was one of those things!
My cousins, Kristin and Leslie, are just as obsessed with all things Disney so they were on board quickly! We signed up for the inaugural Princess Half Marathon. Seeing as we don't live close to one another, we decided to train "virtually". However, I am fairly certain we spent more time on "costume preparation" than on the actual running part!
It came as a fair surprise that not only did we cross the finish line, but we did so still on our feet and already thinking about signing up for the race the following year!
My sons were quick to ask me if I won...and while I didn't technically "win" any awards, I truly believe that anyone who crosses that finish line is a winner! Not only are you doing something good for your body, but you form bonds with other runners and gain a huge dose of pride! Plus, you get to run in the MOST MAGICAL PLACE ON EARTH!!!
Year 2 of the Princess Half Marathon---we were even able to throw up a pyramid after the race!
