Sneakers or Glass Slippers

Hello blog world! I've been following multiple blogs for a while now, mostly home DIY or fashion blogs, but also a few fitness blogs. My roommate from college, D, and I made a decision a while back that we wanted to run the Disney Princess Half Marathon. Now, this marathon is held every year at the Disney World Resort in Florida at the end of February. We made this decision in December of last year, but quickly decided that with our lack of running background 2 months would definitely not be enough time to train. We both grew up swimming and swam together for our college. Well folks, if you're not a swimmer you might not understand, but if you are you will understand that most swimmers are not land people. I always tell people that if you put me in the water, I can do anything, but put me on land and I can barely function. So, yeah...we definitely needed more than 2 months to be able to run 13.1 miles.

I decided that since this weekend was the 2013 Disney Princess Half Marathon and I have almost exactly a year to train, now would be the best time to get serious. And what better way to get serious, than to blog about it of course. Who knows if anyone will see this or even start following, but you always hear that writing things down helps you remember what happened and stay focused.

So RunDisney, I'm determined and I'm ready. I have 365 days (just about...the official race date for 2014 hasn't been released yet). I have a lot to deal with on the side, but I'll talk about those boring details later, but I am ready to train and ready to run. I will be running in glass slippers by February 2014!
