Today, runDisney announced their latest race and this time it’s for those of us on the west coast.  The Tinker Bell Half Marathon will be held January 29, 2012.  Also that weekend will be a Never Land Family Fun Run 5K.  That race will be held Friday, January 27, 2012 at 10:30 p.m.  The 5K will take place throughout the Disneyland Resort and appears to have a Never Land theme.  (They had me at Never Land.)


I’m thinking it would be a lot of fun to turn the 5K into a fun girls’ night.  I’m thinking an early dinner, then run the race and head back to the hotel for a little rest, relaxation, and maybe something “refreshing” to drink.  Anyone interested in me trying to figure out a girls weekend/night out, leave a comment below so I can gauge actual interest.  Also note if you would like me to look into lodging.  I am thinking maybe the Hilton Anaheim or Embassy Suites to keep the cost down since the entry fee for the race is $99.


And for those of you who don’t run…you have until January and you can do it!  Just start slow and you will be amazed and what you can do.  I ran the September 5K at Disneyland and I started training for it two months ahead of time.  I went from certified coach potato to a runner (jogger) in plenty of time.
