Countdown to the Disney Princess Half-Marathon!

AHHHH! I'm so excited! It's getting closer and closer.

28 DAYS!!

I officially decided to be Rapunzel for the half :) I started getting some things together and I'm getting really excited. I'm still debating on what to do with my hair...I might get some cheap extensions...hmm...

I need to stop working AS much..It's really starting to take a toll :/ I'm always exhausted.

I also collect the Vinylmation toys from Disney ...and I found out they have a RunDisney one! They even have the individual medals ! (This is definitely a purchase I'll be making next month while im there!) How freakin' adorable?!

Happy New Year!!

I can't believe its 2013 already!! Last year really flew by. Quick update on whats going on lately - I graduated from UNCG (hooray!), moved back home to Charlotte, and got a job serving at Rooster's in South Park (Charlotte). I've been CRAZY busy learning/training at this new job...

However! I've GOT to pick back up my running! The Disney Princess Half-Marathon is NEXT month !! AH!!

The past two days I've gone to the gym and got on the treadmill but...meh...treadmills just don't do it for me. They bore me. 

TODAY, however, I went out and ran just 2 miles at about a 9:30/mi pace ... and it felt AMAZING! It wasn't really too cold out, and it was so relaxing and felt great to get back out there. 

My best friend Stefanie (who now lives in NYC) asked me to run the Marine Corps MARATHON with her... oh my lord... I'm honestly considering it...

1. I'll be living in NYC in May (so we can start training together)
2. 10 months seems like a pretty good length of time to train for a Marathon...right?
3. I always love a challenge ;)

I'm not sure on it yet though...It's definitely something to think about.

I've ALSO been doing a million times better with my diet/eating better/habits since I've moved home. I FEEL better....having a healthy meal plan REALLY helps. (I'll start posting some of the food ideas I have been eating under the Nutrition part of my blog soon!)

I'm excited to get back into the swing of things! Here's to 2013 :)

HELP ME RUN THE DISNEYLAND HALF-MARATHON !!

When I ran the Wine & Dine half-marathon at Disney World I learned about the Coast-to-Coast Challenge. Now, my goal is to complete it !


Alright. This is my deal - I’m raising money to be able to get to California to run the Disneyland Half Marathon! All the money raised HERE will be used to help with the expenses of travel to and from, hotel, and of course the registration for the race! Any money raised will ONLY be spent on this half-marathon.

My goal is to get to California and see what Walt Disney himself started, and run the Disneyland Half and complete the Coast-to-Coast Race Challenge! The Coast-to-Coast Challenge is a completion of two half-marathons; one on the East coast at Disney WORLD and one on the West coast in DisneyLAND in the same calendar year.

At 17, the doctors told me I would never run again because of the severity of my Rheumatoid Arthritis & Fibromyalgia. I decided to change that. With the help of physical therapy, I am now back into my running ways! (With the help of lots of ice.) I ran my first half marathon last November - the Wine & Dine Disney World Half. It was INCREDIBLE. I am now currently training for the Disney Princess Half Marathon in Orlando (in February). I’m going to work my hardest to get to California and complete the Coast-to-Coast Challenge! Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)
