3 Down, 9 More To Go..

[stampingoddess]

This morning I completed my third half marathon of the year in my quest to complete a half marathon a month this year. At the start I was figuring on a 3:00-3:10 start, and ended up with a 2:56:22 which is great considering that the course was hilly and very challenging.

Charles, I did Goofy in 2010 and plan to do it again in 2015 for the 10th anniversary.

I just wish that there were enough Dsiney half marathons, AND that I had enough vacation and time and enough money to do ALL of my halfs at Disney this year. Sadly, there aren't enough races and I have neither the vacation time, nor the money, to do any more races at Disney this year,

Last year I did all of the Disney endurance races: Goofy Challenge, Princess Half, Disneyland Half, and Wine & Dine, so this year I was limited to trips for the January and February trips only. I don't get to head back to Micky's House until next January.

Now that you said it... I remember. That's one of the things you get to look for once you start hanging a 5 on the front ... I forget just a little more. Half-zheimers

Charles, I've been suffering the memory loss effects from Old-Timers disease for many years now.

Congratulations! I have a similar goal for this year- I want to run 12 halves or longer. I'm getting stuck on July and December. What are you doing those months?

My July race is the Napa to Sonoma half. Having never been to that part of the country, we're extending that trip put west into our summer vacation.

For December I headed out for a girls weekend for the Rock n Roll Las Vegas race. Can't wait for that one-meeting several running/walking friends out there for a long weekend.

I've looked at two other options for July and December Races--the Mad Half Marathon in Vermont and the Rehoboth Beach Half in Delaware.

To find some of my races I simply Googled {month} 2011 half marathon.

Since my birthday falls on a Sunday in June this year, for that I Googled June 5, 2011 half marathon and found all the races that were listed that day and picked from there (BTW, the Rock n Roll San Diego won that competition!)

I would love to do the Napa one- you should have a great time! Found one in Erie, PA in July. Have fun on your races!

The Napa race had so much appeal to me because it combines several of my favorite things...

1. wine
2. half marathon
3. wine
4. travel
