NSV Did my first 5k ever on Mickey Mouse's island!

So if 3 months ago you told me I would run in a 5k well.. you know the rest! I don't think I had ever even ran a mile in my life before a few months ago. I remember cheating in school and hiding behind a tree so I did not have to run. So happy I finished. I trained for a couple of months but was not prepared for the heat as it was super intense. Also being on a cruise :drinker: was not helping either. I was slower than I wanted but still finished before they all went home.:laugh: It was not that bad. I loved how all the other runners chear each other on! That feeling when they start the clock and everyone takes off was pretty cool. It was neat to run my first 5k in the Bahamas with Mickey on his island. Best part was afterward, I got to lay out on the beach while my dh watched the kiddos!

Not yet but starting looking at ones I could train for. They seem to be great motivators! With my obsession with the mouse I was bummed I did not start training earlier as they had a princess half marathon at Disney the weekend we were in Orlando. Who knows maybe next year. The full Disney marathon looks fun but that seems very intimidating.
