As I am writing this post the New York Marathon has just started. Isn’t it fascinating how popular road races have become in our culture? Just this past month I agreed to train with 14 other women for the Disney Princess half marathon and I could not be more excited. Is it because we are a goal oriented society or because it gives us the opportunity to get out of our usual work and life routines that makes these runs so fun? I know a large part of the Disney run for me is getting to spend time at a place that was so magical to me as a child and be healthy at the same time. In my mind I am visualizing myself in peak shape by February. The Ally May version of Heidi Klum. The reality is that I will probably end up looking no different than I do now but with exceptionally strong calf muscles… So, with that in mind are any of you interested in a destination run somewhere around the country? Here are a few on my bucket list I would like to do over the next few years.
