Almost 15 weeks ago my incredible husband challenged our family to train for a #HalfMarathon Since he and I had already run @runrocknroll 2 years ago, I thought I had checked that off the bucket list, however this would be a #FIRST for @emilyditzel & @aaron_ditzel The clincher of the deal was we would be training for @rundisney in January! We were all up for the challenge and began to #hilltrain #trainhard #trainintheelements We trained with @jeffgallowayolympian #runwalkrun #rundisney getting ready for #wdwmarathonweekend Despite a few minor setbacks, we followed the plan 3x week #longruns, #rain #snow We made it happen. Left the 18° temps in Philly to head to sunny FLA.
