Hi there!
My name is Erin and I can honestly say I never thought I'd enjoy running. I initially thought it might be a new way for me to tone up my legs and maybe loose a little weight in the process. Last year I decided to register for my first event, a 5K, something I didn't think I'd ever do. Boy am I glad I did! I used that event as motivation..."Well, you did a 3.1 mile race in under 40min, you can do anything!" It's a great way for me to burn off some stress and kinda get out of my own head. Work drama is left behind and I can just focus on the music I listen to and the rhythm of my stride.
Also, Disney can be a great motivator. Even though I'm not registered for an event, the Disney running community seems like a great bunch of folks. I'd love to include myself in that group one of these days. I'm definitely planning on running my first half marathon at The World.
Presently I've got a 10K (1st one!) coming up in 3 weeks and I'm really trying to keep my training consistent. I've found that the run/walk method works best for me and I can't believe the progress in just these past few months.
All in all I'd like to pop into this part of the boards to get advice on all facets of running and live vicariously through the Disney race reports.
