While adding ridiculous amounts of banners and stickers to my Disney photo pass photos I stumbled on the Disney blog. Yesterday the blog post stated that due to requests from viewers who saw the Disney World Marathon on “Extreme Weight Loss,” registration has re-opened for the marathon and the half marathon for the 2015 Disney World Marathon weekend. I have a trip to Disney scheduled right after the weekend and it might be fun to participate.
I am not much of a runner. If I’m pissed off enough I can run, but otherwise I tend to be a dance cardio kind of girl. I’ve never considered doing any kind of running competition, but between the convenience of the weekend and the thought of running through Magic Kingdom I’m seriously considering it.
I consulted with my boyfriend, who is an ACSM certified personal trainer and knows my athletic skills. He seemed surprised I asked and said of course I could do it. My brother, who was a college athlete and still competes regularly, is rooting for me to run also. I’m still questioning myself, but the training program doesn’t seem too terrible and the bonus of extra Disney vacation is tempting. I know they’ve only opened a few more spots so I have to make a decision sooner than later. I think it might be worth it for a pair of Minnie Mouse New Balances?
