Have I mentioned I'm trying to become a runner.  I'm gonna be 40 in June and just basically started "running" last year.  I ran 5 5k's in 2015.   Well, I completed 5… I can't run a full 5k yet.  My "while I'm 40 bucket list" item is to complete the Disney Princess Half Marathon in February 2017.  I'm loving seeing all the pictures of friends and strangers getting ready for it this weekend!  I really want to do the challenge - I think it's a 5k/10k/half marathon in the same weekend.  That would be amazing…especially for me.

So anyway…I plan to run a 10k in April to get a time to submit when I sign up in July.  I started couch to 10k… I'm gonna finish week 3 today.  I'm doing it.  so far so good.  well…so far so ok.  I did struggle with week 3 day 2 and had to do it twice, but that's ok.  I'm not stressing…I'm just trying and doing my best.  I'm lucky that I have a great friend doing it with me… and my husband is too!

I will be spending a lot of time on the Run Disney website and some local Facebook groups to prepare.  I will eventually look into some of the training that Jeff Galloway does once I get past the 10k.   I am hoping I can get some more friends to do it to and make a fun grown up weekend (long one) out of the experience!

Do you have any tips or advice to offer?

So far this year I have a 10k on the books and will be signing up for a 6 race series in the next month or so that will span May-October.  I figure I will add another 10k to the mix somewhere as well.  I do not want to do another half marathon before the big one… that may be my only one so I want it to be special to me.

Well, it's time to finish up week 3.  I'm looking forward to reading any encouragement you guys have to offer!
