Hello!!

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. - Walt Disney

My name is Morgan and this is my journey to the Disney World half marathon in January of 2013. I have never been a runner but I have always wanted to be one. I am jealous of all the people who can just get up and run, it has never been that easy for me. I have struggled with my weight and body image my whole life. Deciding to run in this half marathon is 100% for myself, and that is why I know I can do it. A little over a year ago I tore my ACL and had surgery, during that time I gained more weight than I would like to have. Even though I worked to get it off I have decided that I need to be more aware of what I am putting in my body and how I am treating it. Not only will I talk about my experience getting ready to run the half marathon I will also discuss all of the healthy trends I come to acquire. 

I am blogging because I think it will help me become not only a runner but it will help me run the 13.1 miles of the half marathon. This is very exciting for me and I can't wait to share my experiences with anyone who wants to read.
