I think I just had a minute of insanity or someone else just took over my body.
I just registered for the Disney Princess Half Marathon on February 23, 2014. Yes, I know registering is only half of the battle but hey that is more than I would have done if I was sane today.
Those of you who know me know I am not a runner. Why do this? Two year ago I saw gals who were running this race and staying at our resort. While there - Mallory and Cale were just about 18 months and I was jealous of these gals who did this run, I thought why can't I do that? I was super jealous of the gals walking around Disney wearing the medals proudly. I mentally made a commitment to myself to one day do this and to just finish the race, say I did it, hit some accomplishments for me that is my goal.
Well 2013 has come and gone - I did not do the half marathon so guess what - I am in for 2014 which maybe our last February Florida vacation anyways! And I would have never done this without my friend Carmen committing to run this race as well. It starts at 5:30 AM so I am back and in the pool for the rest of the day with the family, nothing better than that.
I may die trying but I will not let my girls down, they are going to be so excited for mommy to run the Princess run in a tutu. My goal = to finish! My motivation = my kids, my hubby and doing something for myself - yes a half marathon is on my bucket list for some crazy reason, not just any run the Princess Run!
Oh my what did I get myself into? How in the world will this gal, who is not a runner, do this? I don't know but I have 236 days to figure it out!
Happy Friday and Happy Running!
You go, Trina! I'm so proud of you and all that you have already accomplished! I know you will also put the check mark next to this goal. Love you!
