Disneyland Half and Update


The Disney Half Marathon was AWESOME!!! Definitely one I would do again.....although I may not stay out as late or walk as much the day before...oops! And I would definitely make sure I had food for before the race....double oops!!!

The run took us through both Disneyland and California Adventures, into downtown, across home plate at Angel Stadium and back through California Adventures. I...or should I say my alter self Cinderella (I dressed up) ran a great race. I started out slow, but steady and got faster as I continued each mile. Because this was a practice race for me I chose to do a run/walk method the entire time; a smart choice. By doing this I didn't have any injuries reoccur!!! Yeah!!

On the flip side....because I wanted to make the most out of my very short trip (total of 33hr.), I traveled early Saturday morning, walked all day (and night) at the parks, got only 4 short hours of sleep, ran the race, ate breakfast, found a cheap ride to the airport which only gave me 30 minutes to shower and pack, and finally traveled home. Needless to say I was EXHAUSTED when I arrived home and eventually caught a cold. Was it worth it...absolutely!!! Would I do it again....yes, but not the same way. :o)

Now, a little over a week later I am feeling better and went on a refreshing 3.8 mile run this evening. Time to gear up for San Jose Rock'n'Roll Half in 3 weeks!!!!

Fundraising Events Update:

  • Well the Bachelor/Bachelorette Auction was a SUCCESS!!! We raised $6500+ to help in the fight of cancer!!! The top bid of the night was for $2500 for one of our Bachelorettes. However, ALL of our auctionees did a GREAT job and we couldn't have raised that much money without each one of them!!!! THANK YOU!!
  • Saturday, October 3rd “Get Pickled While You Pickle”. That’s right...I’m having a pickling party. I will have everything you need to make YUMMY pickles....PLUS free food and drinks.

Please support me and my goals this season!!
I ONLY have $1300 more to raise to reach my goal of $4000!!!!
Whether it is moral or monetary....DONATE, DONATE, DONATE!!!!!
