[...] I read a blog the other day that made me pause and reflect. A woman who ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon wrote it, it was her first half. Though she had been training for a finish time of around 2 hours, she actually finished about an hour after that. It bothered her, she wanted to find out if she really deserved the Corral A assignment. Immediately after the race, she signed up for a 20k and crossed the finish line in under two hours.

Thanks so much, Katy! Appreciate your support!

Thanks so much! Yes, could be! It’s kind of a good luck thing for me to wear one of my Sparkle Skirts whenever I race — I know I’m the only dork wearing one, but it’s all good, haha. It’s a REALLY nice park…but I HATED having to run past that finish iine! Thanks again for reading, I’m glad we connected!
