... Think of a wonderful thought,
Any merry little thought ...
I'm back at it again, even if I'm the only one who knows it. And by "it" I mean blogging as a way to help keep myself motivated for one reason or another; mainly running and keeping a healthy lifestyle. I'm sure this one wont be seen by too many, but hopefully later on down the road I wont be traveling alone.
But for now here is my introduction!
My name is Jessica, I'm a 27 year old northern California transplant living in Orange County, and it shouldn't take anyone too long to realize that I'm a huge Disney nerd (and I say that with love). I dropped everything 2 years ago to do something I've wanted to do for the longest time and got a job at the Happiest Place on Earth where I get to make people smile every day - something that to me, at this point in my life, is far more important than how big my bank account is at the end of the year.
My love for Disney is actually what got me started running in my adult life and working towards an even better me. It's all about the bling! I really wanted a shiny medal from runDisney and so I jumped feet first into the deep end and signed up for my first event and I haven't looked back. Here I am, 2 1/2 years and 6 half marathons later and I'm counting down the days until my next one. But I don't just want to run, I want to run healthy, and I want to be able to run for many, many years to come.
I know it's still a few years down the road but I'm really looking forward to these last few years of my 20's and ringing in the big 3-0 with the happiest and healthiest version of myself that I can be and to run my first full marathon. That's the goal and I'm looking forward to how I'm going to get there.
This blog is here for me to chronicle that journey and to connect with and support others out there and maybe even to share a few of my other passions along the way. Anyone game to stick around?
