I cannot believe it's already 2013!! 2012 passed in a flash...AND, I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I am going to have a certified teenager this year! AAAGGHH!!
I had an amazing year serving as the first-ever
runDisney mom on the
Disney Moms Panel. There was so much fun and excitement, that I don't even know where to start!
RunDisney Family
One thing that I do know, is that my favorite part of being on the panel is all of the wonderful new friends I have made. From my new Moms Panel family, to all of the runDisney fans, I feel very blessed to be a part of this organization. It's been really cool to meet so many runDisney lovers at races, social media meet-ups, Twitter (which I finally figured out how to use), and all of the awesome groups on Facebook. There is a true feeling of "family" with runDisney, and I am thrilled to be a part of it.

As I am writing this, I am 9 days away from my very first full marathon. The
20th Anniversary Walt Disney World Marathon is on January 13, 2013. My friend, Allison, and I ran 20.13 miles to celebrate the new year...Mickey Mouse Medal, HERE WE COME!!
It has been so exciting to WATCH you in action Lori; you were exceptional in every way. (They certainly picked the right man for the job!) Hope to see you at the Princess, and best of luck with your first runDisney marathon. :D
