Run
I am what they call an adult onset runner. I absolutely hated running as a kid. Little did I know that at the age of 35, I would meet the love of my life and she would turn me into a runner! She was in the middle of a challenge to run or walk 100 miles in a month and had also just registered for another half marathon at Disney. Well, that peaked my interest and she brought me along for the ride, er run! Laura was also registered for a local 12K a few weeks later so I joined her and was instantly hooked on that finish line runners high!
Then I started doing RunDisney races with Laura which was truly life changing. Almost all of our closest friends today are from the RunDisney community. This community has taught me so much about running in the last eleven years and has brought me so much joy along the way! As in any sport though, there are many highs and lows. Sometimes I run for time. Sometimes I run for fun. Sometimes I run because I just have to suck it up and get it done. To date, I have run 34 half marathons, 8 full marathons and countless races of other distances.

The Road to New York Begins
Training may have just started but the road to running the New York City Marathon started long ago! While the idea of traveling through all five boroughs of one of the greatest cities on earth on foot without stops might sound like torture to most people, it always seemed oddly appealing to me!
