So, the bug hit after running my first ever half on January 11th... i was sore, but I wanted to do this again. The hype of Disney in my blood stream.. I already had a half marathon scheduled for two weeks later... my back up, in case I didn't raise enough funding... but it wasn't enough. I saw Children's Miracle Network was sponsoring the Princess weekend at Disney. So at very last minute, I registered with their charity team. I raised $300 to run Disney again.
After Princess, I had three half marathons under my belt.. but it wasn't enough. I love this... I love being on the courses, being around other runners... I truly caught the bug. The ten miler I did in December offered the fourth race in the series... a 1/2 Marathon in April. I registered and ran, another half marathon. Before that race, I also registered for their June 14th half marathon, another trail run!
So here I sit... five half marathons and one 5k tossed in that my kids all ran with me..... but it still is not enough.
My kids and I are fundraising for Base Camp.... we are registered to run with my MRTT group for their upcoming 5k. My kids (and maybe I) will be running in the 5k to support my older kids high school. Then I have another 5k and two more half marathons registered for 2014.
But 2015 is shaping up too.... I have a half in January, and a half in March for sure....
I have again begun fundraising with Children's Miracle Network to run the Glass Slipper Challenge in February at Disney... if I raise $1200, by the end of this year... I will be running 19.3 miles in two days. My second 10k ever, and my second Princess Half marathon. Looking for ways to get there, while helping children who need the help......
