So ummm.... I may or may not be signing up to do a Half Marathon in November. In Florida. Disneyworld to be exact. The Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon.
I'm pretty sure I've lost my dang mind. But it's okay because Kerry's running it too (and our other friend Terri, and probably one other girl) so we can all share a padded cell.
I really had no desire to run any races longer than 3.1 miles because....why? However, Kerry and I have had the Disney Wine & Dine on our radar for a couple years now, though I don't think I ever really believed we'd actually do it. But the thing is, we also both agree that the thought of accomplishing a 13.1 mile run -- I'm hardly able to wrap my mind around it. For some people, they run 13.1 miles (or more) on a regular basis. For practice! But for us? This will be a major test. Something we'll probably only ever do once in our lives.
So if we're going to do this, we really, really want to make it count! It has to be fun! It has to be a course that will keep us motivated to keep going, even after we're sure we want to throw in the towel and just drink the wine. Where else in the world are we going to get Mickey Mouse cheering us on while Hakuna Matata plays on the loud speakers as we run through Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Epcot?
I have 251 days to get ready.
