Happy New Year TENF Followers!
To ring in the new year right I felt it was time to look at my running calendar for 2013. My husband and I happened to book a trip to Disney World on the same weekend as the 2013 Disney Marathon...needless to say...it was hard to be in the crowd vs. the active runners! NOW my long term goal for 2013 is to prepare for the January 2014 Disney Marathon!!! If you are looking for some motivation this summer and/or year I certainly encourage you to look into these races and sign up for yourself. I have signed up for short, long, fun, intense - you name it! Overall these will help me stay active throughout the year and begin my training. I will certainly continue posting in regards to training information, health, etc. Happy 2013!

If you are interested in this run it is also a part of the "Kona Triple Crown Series." To complete the Triple Crown Series you must sign up for three specific events throughout the year - ShamRockNRoll, Kona Run, and the Wicked Halloween run. This is a great way to make a plan for the whole year to stay fit, healthy, and active. The Kona Running Co. and Running Fit have joined up for this fun event.
#2 - Trail Half Marathon/Trail Weekend - Pinkney MI - April 27th 2013 - This race is supported by Running Fit and a very fun and well organized trail race through the woods.

#5 - Disney World Marathon Weekend - Orlando FL - January 9-12 2014. Registration OPENS on April 9th, 2013. THIS RACE WEEKEND FILLS UP FAST and includes 5K, 1/2 Marathon, Full Marathon and the GOOFY (Half+Full Marathon - O M G). Check out www.RunDisney.com to check out the many events throughout the year...lets just say the Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon in fall also looks enticing...maybe another year :). Let me just say from my recent experience as a bystander to this event...the plane ride to disney and the race excitement in the parks...A totally awesome and positive environment, lots of people being supportive of one another and looking forward to a great race through ALL the disney parks.
