I am so nervous to even type this, but here goes! ITS OFFICIAL, I am running a half marathon in February 2012. It is in Disney World and I am so excited/SCARED!!! And this part is not official yet, but since I am putting it here maybe it will be, my sister is going to run with me!
I heard about this marathon and decided to check it out online thinking it could be fun and its something I said I always wanted to do. It is February 24-26. There is also a family 5K on Saturday morning and the princess 1/2 marathon is Sunday morning- 13.1 miles through Magic Kingdom and into Epcot. It seemed like fun but I was thinking that I would not be able to do this until I saw this on the website:
Beneficiary
Disney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend benefits The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS), an organization dedicated to the fight against blood cancers. With the support of thousands of volunteers and participants in LLS's Team In Training program, Disney’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend will help blood cancer patients live better, longer lives.
I am now committed and am signed up, going to do this, no turning back, I AM IN!!!!!
I am running for my nephew Brian.
Check out all the details about the 1/2 marathon here:

Uh Oh, I did get your original message! How did I miss it? Well I don't know, but Matt updated my computer today, so I may not be able to get a lot of things. He doesn't understand how challenged I am! :)
I will absolutely be praying for you! What a great cause. I can't imagine running a block, much less a marathon or any part of one!
