Star Wars Half Marathon Runventure!

IMG_9010-0Hello!!!!  It has been awhile.  Marathon training has consumed my life. I go to bed at 9:30pm, I get up at 4:00am, I run from 4:15-5:15am, I take a shower, go to work, take a Bar Method class after work a few days a week, eat lunch/dinner (it seems these days I only have time for one or the other), go to bed and then start the whole crazy thing over again. Except on Mondays I train with my coach and on Saturdays or Sundays I train with Team NutriBullet.

I passed on the WDW Marathon weekend and all crazy Dopey and Goofy challenges offered within that event. You moved Tinkerbell to May and I vowed to always choose the OC 1/2’s beautiful course over your relatively dull Anaheim course and packs of non-prepared for the

And then you hit me where I live and announced that the inaugural Star Wars half marathon and Rebel Challenge will take place over MLK weekend in January 2015.

Fine. You got me. The hotel is booked. Sigrid is researching flights. And I am ensuring I have the ridiculous sum you

But I swear, this is the last time runDisney. After I run with Chewbacca, Darth, and the gang, I am done with you for good!

What’s that?

You say there are still spots open in the WDW Goofy Challenge?

Sigh.
