DESCRIPTION:
Sometimes in life you have to prove to yourself that you CAN still do things even if they seem impossible. As a busy mom of 4, I have never really done anything just for and by myself. I decided that I would travel with a friend to WDW to run the 5k on my actual birthday. We made a very spontaneous and unexpected decision to also run the HALF MARATHON!! I do not consider myself a runner. In fact, I refer to myself as a "wogger" and refrain from running 'on purpose" since I find it quite boring. That being said, I have NEVER ran or wogged more than 3.25 miles before that race.... ever. I figured that Disney would be the best motivator for me to actually attempt finishing something that long...... 13.1 miles to be exact.

My friends and family laughed when I told them plans. Truth be told, I really only signed up for these races for the chance to run in the parks before opening and for the photo ops. However, I am not one who gives up easily, so I went into this half marathon determined to NOT get picked up by the bus of shame. I WANTED to finish it to prove to MYSELF (and everyone else) that I could do it! And I DID!! :)
