Helllllooooo Disboards! Allow myself to introduce....myself, and the rest of the cast.
I'm Dana, a 25 year old overly ambitious, hard working, dinsey lover from NJ. No DH or children to speak of.
My mom, Andrea, a 50 something wonderful mother of three (DS27, DD25<--me, DS13) and loving wife of (DH 57).
My aunt, Pam, a 40 something devoted mother of three (DD26, DD24, DD9) and grandmother of 1 (DGS 4).
My cousin, Nicole (Pam's DD), a 26 year old super genius and loving daughter & wife.
My cousin, Noelle (Pam's DD), a 9 year old tornado of energy.
We wanted to let you all in on our events leading up to our running of the Inagural Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon!!

Our Mission
Run the race, don't die, and drink
Let me preface this by saying, I hate running. Yes, the girl who decided it would be a good idea to become a runner, hates running. I think it is the most mundane activity on the planet. But that's before I started to run. I'm nowhere near the level of Forrest Gump or Usain Bolt. I don't run long distances, and am not too fast either. But I do it. I do it because it makes the next time easier. After the last several months of running every 2 to 3 days a week, I would definitely classify myself as a runner above any other type of athlete.
The thing I now like about running is that I can do it anywhere. I dont need special equipment, or a designated location. When I want to go, I go. It's me vs the pavement. I've started to run without an ipod in the recent weeks as she passed away several weeks ago, and I just can't bring myself to get a new one yet. I literally cannot, the money just isn't there. But I have learned to accept the roads, sidewalks, and trails as a new form of therapy. I talk and they just listen. They don't ask questions, they just listen. They don't judge me, what I'm wearing, or how fast I run, they just listen. And everytime I run, they give me the best response.
*I have my own internal debates about me being a dancer. This is the sport that I love. And now I am finally at a point in my life where I could care less how I look when I'm doing it, I just love the feeling I get when I do.
