OMG! This was my second chance. When I went to signed up for it a couple of months ago, it was already SOLD OUT! I even sent an email to rundisney and they came back with "run for a charity or 2012". Well, the 2012 race is not going to be ON my birthday. I had to win this or wait until 2016.
Needless to say, I went a little loca! I "campaigned" tirelessly for this giveaway. I emailed, called, tweeted and facebooked my entire world. Guess what happened next? With a
Thanks again to everyone that voted for me. To my friends at iFitness, thanks for making my dreams come true. It's the BEST birthday present EVER!

On week 7, I miss two 3 mile runs and 2 Bikram Yoga classes due to work schedule and kid's summer school events. I don't feel bad about it. I PR'ed in the AFC's Half Marathon with a 2:10:44.

Congrats on winning an entry into the Disney 1/2! That is going to be a fun race. And on your birthday?! Yahooo!
ReplyDeleteSo awesome that you are running NYC! I entered the lotto but no dice. Training my butt off to try to auto qualify and get in next year.
Look forward to following you on your journey!
Thanks "hauterunningmama". I hope you get to run NYC next year!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that you won an entry into the race. I registered for the race, but my husband forgot to. He's sad that I'll be running and he won't. Look for me at the expo and race. I'll be the big pregnant blonde wearing a sparkle skirt.
ReplyDeleteI am happy! I can't complain :-) I'll look for you at the expo! Wondering if you've decided on a costume yet? I am still debating.
