Welcome to my first post! I feel like I've been running 5ks for years but I've never felt like I needed to do anything more. I've always had a hard time pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I joined Weight Watchers 4 years ago after having my son and it has taught me that I can do anything I put my mind to. I've also met the most amazing people. Now buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy and an amazing ride!
Let's go back to 2013 when my husband and I decided to take my son to Disney in May. We happened to be there during the weekend of the Expedition Everest Challenge. The day after, everyone was talking about how much fun they had and I decided that if we were in Disney again during that race, I would sign up. I think it was December 17, 2014, I received a message from Eric (an amazing runner and fellow WW friend), reminding me about registration opening up. Thanks to him I registered that night!
Expedition Everest Challenge was on May 3rd this year and it was such a great experience for me. I ran alone but in a runDisney race, it was hard to feel alone. It was raining hard at one point but it did not ruin the vibe that this race gave off. I was nervous but knew I could do it! I've done 5ks before but this was different. It was a different feeling and it was so much fun!
When I came back, I stared at the really cool medal and knew I wanted more. So now it's off to Disney World in February 2015 for the Glass Slipper Challenge. I am excited to see the changes in my mind, body, and soul during the training.
I will be following Jeff Galloways training program which officially starts on 10/21/2014. The first step in this journey will be the Biggest Loser 10k on 11/2/2014 that Courtney and I will be running so we can submit a time for the Disney race to get a better corral for the 1/2.
You can follow me on Instagram at mrst9. I can promise you that we will not disappoint!
