The Beginning

Welcome one and all to the greatest Disney marathon blog you will ever come across. We are three brothers: Jonathan, Peter and Tim and we, my friends, have tasked ourselves with conquering a Disney marathon! (cue trumpets). We have selected the Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon as our first target. We have selected the Wine and Dine simply because it's a half marathon and there's a party afterwards with food and libations.

Why are we doing this you ask? Well, simply put: we need to get in shape. We have struggled to stay motivated to live consistent healthy lives. And what better way to really get serious about exercise and proper nutrition than to have a goal in mind. Especially when that goal includes Walt Disney World.

We are training with one of Jeff Galloway's, Disney's running expert, training regiments. We started on Tuesday and have just completed our first distance run of one mile today. We are using the run-walk-run method to make sure we don't wear ourselves out too fast. I must admit, it is not as bad as I first thought it would be. Here's hoping it continues to be so.

I'll be using this blog to share our thoughts, inspirations, nutrition info we learn along the way, training info, and everything in between. I'll probably be posting pictures during our runs and stuff to keep everyone who checks out our blog in the know.

And to end with an obligatory Walt Disney quote: "If you can dream it, you can do it." And I'm dreaming of a finisher medal.
