First 5k Ever at 8:15am

Tomorrow morning Kyle, my mom and I are "wogging" the Purity Challenge at Metro Center in Nashville. We are having to get up at the ungodly hour of 6 on a Saturday (yes, that is ungodly since I DO NOT rise before noon on Saturdays). This is my first official race ever. Yes, I'm 25 years old and I haven't done a race, but you have to start somewhere.

In January, we are planning on doing the Walt Disney World Half Marathon and have started training. We're in the beginning stages right now so, our jogs are pretty short. I am really excited about the half. I have been talking to friends and listening to podcasts about the race, so I feel like I CAN DO IT! If someone that is several years older than me do the race, then I can do it too. I really hope to keep posting about our training.

Going to bed now. Thanks for reading.

Here are a few videos that one of my favorite podcast host. He has the greatest job ever! Check out the videos. Also, check out his new and improved website at www.wdwradio.com. It rocks!

October 1, 1971

So I just watched the opening to Walt Disney World via YouTube. It was amazing. It really made me want to be there. When something is done the Disney way, its done in a big way. The closing video I watched and it was amazing. There were 1076 musicians marching down Main Street, USA and they were directed by Meredith Wilson. It was amazing. He had the best "seat" in the house that day since he was surrounded by the music.

I must admit that I was moved by that video that I almost teared up, but I didn't. I just makes me want to go even more. There is not trip in sight right now, but I'm sure there will be one soon.

Below is the video I found wonderful. It is a little long, but it is still really cool. Enjoy!
