I would like to start out this post by sending out a BIG thank you to all of you guys that followed along all year in preparation for this race and to also say CONGRATULATIONS to those of you that just completed your first major race!! TEN MILES is quite an accomplishment, especially in the conditions that we saw during this year's Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10 Miler!

I know how everybody LOVES pictures, so let's start with that, shall we?

Faith Dority!

The Disney Gals are so excited to have also scored the expertise of runDisney Princess and fitness instructor Faith Dority. If you fall in the same circles as some of us, you may already know Faith (or at least know of her). She has an amazingly infectious smile and can usually be found at most runDisney events. She's the real deal..not only as a super Disney fan but also as an expert in the health and fitness industry. Out of the goodness of her heart, Faith has agreed to pop in now and then to provide Team Disney Gals and Pals with some training tips and she's starting out with a bang: WEIGHT LOSS!

THANK YOU FAITH!!

Let's Get Moving!

It's a proven fact that people are better at keeping up a workout, weight loss program or even breaking bad habits when they do it as a group. We've gotten our group of Gals together and would love to have you on board. Our commitment to you is a blog post every Tuesday with our triumphs, struggles, tips, tricks and celebrations. We will also have "Follow-up Fridays" on our Facebook page to share how the week is progressing, and plans for surviving the weekend. In return all you have to do is comment. Tell us your goals, struggles and achievements and we will all celebrate together! Did you know you are more likely to achieve a goal once it's written down? Sharing with others is an extra boost. 

So, who's ready to set their goal for the week?

Kelly:   I have 2 goals this week. First is to keep hydrated. This is hard for me because I don't like water, but I will find a great mix in and get 6 cups (baby steps) in everyday. My other goal is 3 good days of workouts. In my book a good workout is 50 - 60 minutes and a soaking wet jog bra when it's all over :) Now to put the Christmas cookies in the freezer...

Tricia:   My goal is to go to Kelly's and steal the cookies out of the freezer. Just kidding. I have set a goal to run 3-4 miles twice this week and begin the Insanity workout with my co-workers. This craziness should begin tomorrow...eek!

Gayle: So why put off until tomorrow when you can start today?  To say running is so not my thing is, well, let's face it, is a huge understatement. I am a "walk with purpose" kind of Gal, and lately not much one at that. My form of exercise is teaching kindergarten and dancing with them and when we do "Bop Until You Drop",    I've been a lot better at the dropping part than the bopping part.  For me it is all about the tee shirt, and let's face it, the tee shirts for the people doing the half marathons and full marathons are just so much cooler. But it's also about setting a goal, and going out and living Walt's words when he said "It's kind of fun to do the impossible" because for me, this seems impossible. I am proud to say that I completed my first Run Disney 5K event in September and was amazed that I finished in under an hour. For those of you that are seasoned runners, and were able to actually run the 5k or better yet, complete the Tower of Terror 10 miler-you are my inspiration!
