Mine isnt a specific race or moment but rather the first time I signed up online for the race. As I hit middle age, working out had become inconsistent with long breaks off with minimal to no exercise. So, deciding to the marathon weekend a few years ago was the beginning of becoming recommitted to my health. Knowing the cost of signing up for this race helped keep me accountable to training. Then after the first one, I have always signed up on the first day because it again commits me to running for the next 6-8 months. Now running is something I automatically do most days, having this yearly thing I sign up has almost become a yearly reminder. Disney is just one many races I do during the year and it is one of the few I don’t really race for time, but instead it feels like a yearly party to celebrate the past year.
