I decided to run a 5K during my next Disney trip. After I accomplish that, I will change the title of my journal to "training for my first half marathon," since my next goal is to run the Princess Half in 2014, and then later, "training for my first full marathon," as I hope to run the WDW full marathon in 2015.
I've ordered several books for marathon training, as well as a running board on Pinterest for motivation.
I consider myself to be in pretty good shape. I rarely run outdoors though. Whenever I run it's always at home with the AC on, but I am able to run over half an hour at a steady pace without getting tired. I'm going to try to start going to a local park at least once a week for a good outdoor run.
I also have smaller goals of while training running 1,014 miles. Or the distance between my city and Disney World, losing another 20 - 40 pounds, (in addition to the 40 I've already lost in the last year and a half or so,) and living a healthier life in general.
Two years ago I made a major change in my diet when I decided to give up red meat and poultry. Though I made that decision for ethical reasons the health benefits have been fantastic, and I've recently given up eating seafood completely as well, (which was mostly out of my diet most of the time anyway.) I don't consume any dairy products at home, and never buy eggs anymore either, though I'll still eat eggs and dairy at restaurants and when I travel.
There are a lot of other things I've cut back on as well, or switched to better choices as far as health is concerned, a lot of which includes foods and drinks with high amounts of fat and sugar.
