Happy 100th blog post to me!
Last January I was watching the Facebook updates about the Disney Marathon Weekend and I was so jealous I was not there taking part in something. I live in Miami after all, why did I not make the 3 hour, 45 minute drive north? Well, last year I was scheduled to volunteer at the Marathon, but pulled out a couple weeks beforehand because I had to leave for a work trip the next day. Between holiday travel and work travel, I figured I would spend the weekend at home instead of going up to Otown.
In the end, I didn't like that decision, so I started to look at my calendar and decided that it would be possible to attend the rest of the runDisney events in 2011. I knew it would be a fun way to spend some time at Disney... plus, I luckily have friends and family who also love Disney and I knew I could convince them to come down for the different events.Last January I was watching the Facebook updates about the Disney Marathon Weekend and I was so jealous I was not there taking part in something.

It was also this time last year I decided to start my blog. I wanted to document what I knew would be a fun year ahead. Of course, the blog has become about more than just running and Disney, but I am glad I have this journal of sorts, to always look back on.
runDisney does a great job with their events and I am so glad I got to participate in them all this year!
I know my decision to return to Disney for their race weekends is based on both the organization and support provided by them at their events; but also because I have been able to hang out with my friends & family at a place we have been visiting for years, always have a great time and make lifelong memories.... queue One Republic's "This is a gonna be a good life" :)
