They were right...they are always right.

About 5 days after Dopey, the pain was beginning to subside, and I was cooking up a plan.

Remember that girl who said, "I'm NEVER doing this again?"  She was gone.  Long gone.

I was planning my next Dopey.  I decided that I would do the Wine and Dine in Disney in November, followed by the Princess Glass Slipper Challenge in February, 2017, and then I would chill on the RunDisney Races and do Dopey one more time in 2018.  Go big, or go home.

I'm a planner.  Brewer, is a planner.  I plan everything.  It's ironic that I'm an intense planner, but at the same time, I'm one of the spontaneous people I know.  Hell, I signed up for a half marathon without ever walking more than 6 miles at a time before.  AND, I almost died, but I finished that beast.  I do what I want, without little thought, but I'm a planner.

And then one day, I was bored.  And when I'm bored, I start planning.  I texted my sister, "Lets do Tinkerbell," referring to the Tinkerbell half marathon in California this May.  We started planning, I even booked a room, and then I looked at my planner and realized I had a wedding to photograph that weekend.  Lucky for my bride, I'm not a bailer and decided we couldn't do Tink.

BUT---you see, we COULD do the Disneyland Half in September.  Goodie, goodie gumdrops.  I would get my Coast to Coast Medal (2 Disney races in one year, 1 in each park).  So, we started planning.  And what do you know, 23 days after I finished the Dopey, I was signed up for the Disneyland Half Marathon in California.

CALIFORNIA!  I've never been there, but boy am I excited.  I know it will be a lot different then Walt Disney World, but I'm excited for the adventure!

My sister and I, and two friends are going, plus we get to hang with my new friend Jen from Florida that I met at Dopey.  I'm SO excited my sister gets to experience a runDisney Race, and I'm glad my friends were motivated to join us!  Girls TRIP!

So yes, they are always right.  Once the pain fades, and that last blister clears up...before you know it you are looking for another race to complete.  It's addicting, it gets in your blood.

Disneyland, USA here I come!
