Grew up in a Disney family and have been to WDW more times than I can count. Even with countless other destinations that we could have visited, Disney was always our #1 choice. After taking a few year break from visiting the World, I started going back again after college and fell in love all over again.
In terms of running...I hated it. With a passion. Then the owner of my gym tried to get as many of his members to run the local 5k in town. I somehow got suckered into it but still wasn't a fan. 3.1 miles was HARD! After a few more 5k's I started upping my mileage to 10k's. Never thought I'd go above that. A fellow Disney fan completed Goofy and kept telling me how awesome it was to run at Disney. In a temporary moment of insanity, I signed up for my first half for January of 2010 with my best friend. Surprisingly had the time of my life and officially caught the 'running bug'.
Since then, I decided to challenge myself even more and completed my first marathon January 2011 and Goofy in 2012, also down in Disney. Crossing that finish line was one of the most memorable moments for me and there's no telling where this running thing will take me. I do know that there's no better place in the world to force your body to run these crazy distances than in the Happiest Place on Earth, right? :)
Started the blog to keep in touch with like-minded crazy Disney fans and runners but it's blossomed into so much more than that. I love keeping up with people's training and it's the motivation I need to keep on chugging along! I also love writing Disney recaps and food reviews so expect a bunch of those after each trip!
I apologize if there's any long gaps where I don't post. On top of working full time and running, I'm also attending grad school part time to get my MBA. Trying to juggle all three things, and have a normal life with friends can be hard sometimes!
