download disney princess half marathon 2024

So fast forward until about 10 years after college, a friend of mine was training for a half marathon. I pretty much hated running unless it was a part of another sport. I wasn’t fast enough to run short distances, and nobody wanted to run the mile, so that’s what I did and I still always came in last! I decided after 8th grade, I was done with track. But track was what you did in the off season of basketball. I though track meets were fun, but in general I hated running. The stress relief and time to myself help immensely even if I don’t end up losing one pound. I didn’t start running to lose weight specifically, but to feel better about myself and my body. Why running? I had a baby in 2019 and the stress of a newborn, pandemic, and then switching jobs in 2021 caught up to me. I’m also doing a 5k at the end of September and am aiming for a PR with a plan! I signed up for the Marathon Weekend 10k since I’ll be training for Princess. And I had so much fun at the race, even running by myself! (My friend was feeling nauseous during the race so we ran our own paces.) I kept it up afterward and decided to do the Princess half in 2024 (already signed up through a charity). I knew I actually had to train to complete the race without dying and/or getting swept, so I started the Galloway method. My friend and I decided to try for the 10k at Marathon Weekend 2023 for Chip and Dale, but we got shut out, so went for Princess instead. In 2022 my friends asked me to do the Princess 5k with them, so I said yes, because I was a new-ish mom and having non-kid time is always appreciated. I did the first Star Wars 5k because Star Wars, but that was that. I went to the gym on and off with my ex, did home exercises, but nothing really stuck. I kept it up for 3 years until I moved and couldn’t find new classes near me. When I started working, the building had jazzercise classes so I started that. (Hitting lefty also helped.) I did soccer and track my freshman year of high school (100m and 4 x 100 relay starter), but then quit sports to focus on drama club.

As in, hit the ball back to the pitcher and still make it safe on base. I did sports as a kid (dance, then soccer, basketball, and softball) and was FAST.
