Racing to Lose a Toenail ~ My Half-Marathon Weekend *Homeward Bound 3/16 p.25

[carissanboys]

One year ago, I proposed a challenge to myself. I registered for the WDW Half-Marathon without running a single step. I needed to lose weight and get healthy and I knew I needed a big challenge to motivate me. You can read about my journey to lose 25 pounds and train for the race in my PTR:

♥ My Magical Journey to Running the Half-Marathon ♥

This trip ended up being a quick two night stay with my good friend Liz (liznboys). It was a whirlwind of a weekend! The trip was Friday, January 7th - Sunday, January 9th and we shared a room at Pop Century. The rest of the details will unfold as we move along.

Me: Carissa - 36 year old stay at home/homeschooling mom to three boys and military wife. I love to read, travel, and watch football - especially my beloved Patriots!

There will always be links to the updates as I post them so you can skip the chit chat if you wish. This TR may also take longer than normal since we are in the process of buying our first house. But, it was a short trip so it shouldn't take too long to get through.

So, let's get this party started...
