my brother and i will be participating in the wine and dine half marathon weekend! we are so excited, it's his first half, and my 11th! i also will up my own challenge by participating in the jingle jungle 5k.
our mom and aunt will be joining us to cheer us on, as well as my best friend and her husband. it's her first (and as she says, probably only!) half marathon, while he is an experienced multiple time boston marathon qualifier. we are all going to have a great weekend together!
the wine and dine half will be new for all of us, being that it starts at 10pm at night, and the first disney race for the 3 of them! not only that, the challenge for me will be participating in the 5k that same morning. 2 races in one day, challenging for sure.
i am very undertrained for this set of runs, having minimal long runs (last one was a month ago and the farthest i have run since may is 8 miles), and the last 11 days off due to be sick. my goals for these races are basically to have fun (always!), and to finish standing up! i plan to take the 5k slow and relaxed, it's my first disney 5k and i want to enjoy it! as for the half marathon, my brother and i plan to stick together, and him slowing to my pace with most likely lots of walking along the way.
i am so excited for the vacation, feeling like it's well earned after the past year. i am excited for the racing too, as undertrained as i am, and to share this special event with my brother and friends. it will be a fun night for sure!
so excited to be immersed in the happy world of disney and to make new racing memories! hoping to see some of my new run disney twitter and blogger friends, if you see me, be sure to say hi!!
