"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them"

-Walt Disney

So in the past 24 hours, I've been going over and over the half marathon logistics in my head. I knew I could do it, and all of your comments really made me realize that I can, and I want to!

Then a few things happened. First, I realized that it's on SUNDAY not Saturday, which meant that JJ could go. It also meant I could make the desserts Friday and drop them off Saturday morning for the party.

So I thought... and I tried to piece it all together. I asked my mother-in-law if she they would be home Saturday night to watch the granddogs. They could.

Then I looked into prices. Registration is $120 (ouch), Disney Resort hotels had been set aside at $124... not too bad. We'd only have to stay one night.

So I called JJ and laid it all out. We'll have to take $400 from savings, but he said to do it. I rarely put myself first, and who knows, I could get struck by lightening March 8 and die never having run a half marathon. I'm more prepared now than ever, and maybe more than I ever will be. I've taken money out of savings once before for my health ($500 for the elliptical), and it paid off.

I have a good feeling it will this time, as well!

So I did it.

I registered.

I'm going to run a half marathon.

In Disney World.

And if I'm lucky, I'll get to see Belle (my fave Disney princess)

And let me tell you, the last time I was at Disney World (3 years ago), I DID NOT EVER think I'd be going back the next time to run a half marathon... boy, how things change!
