Look! I’m dusting off the old blog to let you know that I’m still here! Some of you have been wondering and I appreciate you checking on me! I still love you guys and I still have plenty to say. Where have I been? Mostly I’ve been spending my days like this: Run, work, sleep, repeat. We’re officially in the home stretch for Dopey Challenge 2020! I can’t tell you how happy I am to finally be finished training (almost)!

Sunday’s nine lonely miles in the rain gave me plenty of time to feel sorry for myself, but instead of indulging in a pity party, I thought about how grateful I am that I’m able to run. Even though I’m sore and tired and a bit worried that after all we’ve done, we still haven’t trained enough – I still love to run. I thought about how lucky I am to have Joseph running the Dopey with me and how Raymond has been the ultimate support system through these many months of what felt like constant training.

Happy New Year!

2019 is over and what a year it was! Looking back I would most definitely describe it as uncharacteristically busy. We packed a lot of work and play into the past 12 months (and this blog paid the price). Given the choice between typing a blog post and playing with a sweet grandbaby…can you blame me? I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions, but I am going to do my best to resuscitate Living a Disney Life and get back to regular posting. To get that going, I’ve got some Wine & Dine race reports and some other thoughts from our November trip coming up for you over the next few days. After that we’ll be trying to cross four finish lines in four days and I will be sharing many thoughts and photos on social media during our adventure – so if we’re not connected on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, I would love to have you follow along.

When we get back from our trip, I’m sure I’ll have opinions (don’t I always?) on everything from dining, attractions and resorts to what happens when we run 48.6 miles in four days at Disney World. I’d love to hear from you! What’s in store for you in 2020?

Happy New Year, Disney friends – may 2020 bring you peace, health, happiness, and adventure! – Lisa
