Today marks the official start of my training for my first half marathon ever. I am lucky enough to be running it at Disney world with my loving husband. This is a huge deal for me because I never thought I’d be writing this post but I’ve got the running bug and I’m so excited it brings tears to my eyes, literally, I’m not joking you I cried watching the above video. I also cried watching 15+ other videos including this one;I’m just so overwhelmed with excitement. This is going to be an amazing, challenging, worthwhile experience and I look forward to sharing it with you along the way.
I don’t want to overload CVL with posts about training so I will be limiting my posts to Fitness Fridays. However, if you want to read more Neil and I have created a blog to document our experience called One Step At A Time for this purpose. We will both be blogging here and discussing how we are feeling, what our training is like and will be looking for any guest posts on your own 1/2 or full marathon experiences.
Let the training begin!
Q: Have you runDisney? If you have an want to share your experience email us here.
Congrats on starting your plan and best of luck to you and Neil!!!
Thanks Emily!
I ran the Disney Marathon (my first!) back in 2002, it was on the same course as the half – those lucky people just got to stop sooner. It’s a wonderful race – although be warned that most of it is not in the parks. I am a HUGE Disney fan, so it was an amazing experience. I strongly suggest you run with a camera (as long as you’re not too worried about your finish time), because there are characters all along the course and who doesn’t like pictures with Disney characters while you’re in the middle of a race?! Seriously though, it’s really fun and I really do have tons of pictures from the race that way! If you have any questions about the race, let me know! 🙂
I’m so excited to run it! I knew most of it wasn’t in the park but that’s okay any excuse to go to Disney! I also plan on bringing my camera- I just want to finish the race, not worried about my time! If I have any questions I’ll let you know!
I am so excited for you guys and right we will be there even if it is for 4 days. I told Dad we don’t want to miss
it as it is as exciting to me to see you guys accomplish this. I was so excited to see you run your first 5K as
I had tears when you came across the finish line. We will be there. Keep up the good work. I am so proud of
you guys. Love ya MOM
