A moment of insanity that resulted in me running a half marathon.


Hey everybody! So obviously the whole updating-more-often thing has not really been going super well. But I guess that's just something to constantly be working on then. 
Many things have been happening since last I posted on here. I am currently packing up my things and cleaning up my room to move to Wisconsin with my Grandparents. Woohoo! Me and my adorable little sister will be spending the WHOLE summer with my amazing Grandparents. Talk a bout a super fun time! 


Me and my beautiful little sister, Mikayla

Earlier this week I had a small moment insanity, and it resulted in me participating in a half marathon. I am officially going to be participating in the runDisney's Disney Princess Half Marathon! It's February 22nd-24th, which means I have 8 months to train hard and get my butt in gear. The marathon is 13.1 miles long and will last about 3 1/2 hours long. You participate in this race you have to be able to run 16 minutes/mile, which I think is definitely do-able. This race is more for fun rather than a super serious, which is very good for beginners. The best part is that this race takes place in the happiest place on earth....Disney World!!! AND for this race I get to dress up in a costume! :) Another great thing is, while you are running this fabulous race there are Disney characters along the course of the marathon and can stop and get pictures with them!

There's so many people that do these races and it's a very special thing to be apart of. I'm very excited to do this. Never in my life did I think I would be running a half marathon, but I am, and cannot wait for the event to be here. I know the next 8 months are going to be hard and a sweat filled struggle...but I know it will definitely be worth it.

 I've really been attempting to get healthy, more fit and in shape, and exercise more, but have sadly failed. This is just the thing to help me do that! Luckily I am not doing this alone. My little sister, Mikayla, is thinking about running it with me. Even if she doesn't actually do the half marathon, she's still going to train with me this summer, which is a huge help to me. My fabulous cousin, Chelsea, is planning on doing it with me. She's wanted to do it for a while now. We are both extremely excited to be doing it together and are going to be able to train together a bit when we see each other in a few weeks. 

Other than those couple of things, not a ton of things have been going on in my life. Life is good, life is great! I'm happy and healthy and am ready to get into shape!! 

Below are some pictures from the great Disney race I'll be in. If any of you who read this want to know any information on the race or other Disney races, don't be afraid to ask me or you can Google runDisney and find the information of their website.
