After not near enough training I went to Florida to run the Disney World Half Marathon. My goal this year was not to beat my time from last year, but to enjoy the run and to meet new people, and I did... both. Early in the run (maybe mile 2) I saw the back of a shirt that said "I run for mental health" - so I started a conversation with the young lady by saying "I run for mental health too". I of course meant stress relief, but it turns out that Rachel, Rob, Daniel and Hannah have created a team to raise money for the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation. They are such a nice family and I ended up seeing them off and on throughout the race. I am going to follow the family on Facebook and might just look into becoming part of their team! For more information on the family check out their website at
I ended up finishing in 2 hours and 29 minutes. 7 minutes slower than last year, but like I said, I didn't really train much this year and I had a great time.
While in Florida I also had a chance to enjoy a slice of key lime pie at Bahama Breeze, pigged out on some rock shrimp and checked out some alligators in the wild.
