The second one was the Neverland 5k for Disneyland's Tinkerbell half marathon weekend this past January.
And the third one was the Revlon 5k for women's cancer this past May, that I raised over $500 for.
Also I've signed up for next year's Tinkerbell run! Just the 5k again though, since the half marathon was sold out already. It's crazy how fast these Disney runs sells out, but I guess when else can you run through the theme parks with Disney characters cheering you on???
So it's sad to say that I've hit a little bit of a plateau on my weight lost journey. I admit it, I'm a huge emotional eater, and it's a really bad and consuming habit. That's the major reason behind the setback. That and it really is easier said than done to motivate yourself. So I tried a different approach. Last week I signed up for the Princess half marathon at Disney world!!! Yea you read right, HALF MARATHON! 13.1 miles that I have never run before. It's going to be next February and takes place in Orlando which mean I have to fly there for that weekend. This event is non refundable and I will have to maintain a 15 min mile pace to qualify. I'm hoping to do better but we'll see... This is how it's going to motivate me. It's non refundable so I will have to go through with it. It's very expensive, so if I can't keep up with the pace I won't be getting the very pretty crown medal, which will make the whole thing useless if I don't train correctly.
This is something I've wanted to do since I've discovered Disney runs! Something on my bucket list really. After this I'm going to do next year's Disneyland half marathon so that I could complete the coast-to-coast challenge and get the coast-to-coast medal! The coast-to-coast challenge is when a runner does a half marathon in WDW Resort and another one in Disneyland Resort within one calendar year. Wish me luck!!!
Until my next post! =D
