What You Might Have Missed:

Many of you have been following my journey ever since I posted about the princess marathon two posts ago.

No, of course you haven’t.  Who would want to do that?  Besides, there hasn’t really been any journey, so don’t worry about it.  Talk about boring.

BUT, it was at the time of that post that I was introduced by this guy to something amazing.  Apparently, friends, there is a Disneyland half marathon as well!  Seriously!  (All that crying for nothing.)  It’s like they knew I would be wanting one.  Like…10 years before I actually wanted one.  No matter.

The point is that I feel strongly that I should partake in this madness.  It’s the right thing to do.  I love Disneyland (see the castle in the background??), and I love running, so I think this would be the only logical course of action for me.

Who’s with me?

 In fact, I’m so interested that I’ve already been looking up training programs to whip myself into 13.1 miles of shape, but guess what?  Most experts say (insert empirical data here) that you really only need to train for like 10 weeks for a half marathon.  Which means I have exactly 19 weeks to untrain.  Relax.  Laze it up.

Who’s with me now, knowing that you have a cushy 19 weeks ahead of you?  Huh?  Huuuhhh????

    I’M WITH YOU!

    of course, by ‘with you’ i mean i will drive with you.

    then stand on the sidelines.

    ride Peter Pan while you’re huffing around anaheim.

    then ride home with you again.

    done deal.

    If I didn’t get winded walking to the mailbox, I think this would be the coolest thing ever!

    I have been following your blog for quite some time from Katie’s blog… and I wondered if I might email you some questions about your garden. I have wanted to plant some for some time, and after a disastrous adventure with veggies from my local supermarket this week, I am officially fed upwith store bought veggies and am in desperate need of some advice on planting some tasty veggies in our backyard. I loved your blog posts about your garden, and would love to pick your brain!

    my email address is christiechambless at gmail dot com.

    can’t wait to hear from you!

    When exactly is the Disneyland race? I might be tripping out to Cali again this year, and i could possibly add this into everything! :)

    Mom P. – you bet your bottom dollar that I’ll be wearing mouse ears!

    Shauna – Realy?? It looks like the half marathon is Sunday, September 6. How cool would it be if that worked out!!
