Running Coast to Coast in 2013'

In March of this year, I turned the big 4-O! To celebrated this milestone year (and to make myself feel better for getting older) I decided 2013' was going to be the year I went coast to coast with my running and in the process get a special Disney medal to commemorate it! On August 29th, I headed out to Anaheim, California with my sole sister Jen, for a week of fun and adventure. During that week I had the great privilege of experiencing two awesome Disney races, seeing new and old running friends and visiting Disneyland, California Adventure, Downtown Disney and the surrounding areas for the first time in my life. It was an experience of a lifetime and not only did I come back with memories I will cherish forever, I also came home with four new shiny Disney medals, including the Disney's Coast to Coast Challenge Medal.

Proudly displaying my Coast to Coast Medal!

Great Times, Great Friends & Great Memories!

Stay tuned for video & picture highlights coming soon of the Disneyland 10k and the Disneyland Half Marathon.

What was favorite part of the Disneyland Half Weekend? 

10 Days and Counting!

In less than ten days I will be heading west to the beautiful Golden State! It has been quite some time since I have had the opportunity to visited California, but this time is extra special for me. I am going to be running a two day race totaling 19.3 miles and finishing my final leg of the Disney Coast to Coast Challenge in the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! 

Surprisingly, this will be my first visit to Disneyland, so I am super excited! I am a huge Disney fan, and I grew up going to Walt Disney World more times than I can count, but to actually be in the place Walt created and spent 11 years enjoying, is like a dream come true for me.

I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my first visit to this happy place, than to run down Main Street and through Sleeping Beauty's Castle, plus earn four different medals during the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend.

Now, time to get packing...

Have you been to Disneyland? What is one thing I shouldn't miss while I am there?
