Somehow I convinced myself to think that I could complete a half marathon. I'm not quite sure what I was thinking. I have been training for the past few months and the big day is now right around the corner. While training, I decided to see if I might be able to help raise funds to help fund Parkinson's Disease research.
This cause is very close to me and I have been blown away by all of the support I’ve received! Over the course of about a month, I’ve been able to raise approximately $900!
The Inaugural Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon will be held on Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 10pm. The run will be on a brand new course at the Walt Disney World resort, finishing at Epcot inside the International Food & Wine Festival – and is the first nighttime half marathon. Where else can you run a marathon at night? Maybe escaping the hot Florida sun might make the run a little easier. Plus knowing that culinary delights and specialty drinks from around the world are waiting for me at the finish line doesn’t hurt either!
Wish me luck on my 13.1 mile journey! You can visit my personal race web page here. Thanks again for all of the support, and I’ll be sure to follow up on the outcome of the whole event.
