We just did the Walt Disney World Marathon three weeks ago. I ran the Goofy Challenge (half on Saturday, full on Sunday). Lots of people wore race medals to the parks afterwards, and we saw a number of people sporting the 5K medal.<br /><br />While it would be easy to roll one's eyes at someone for being so proud of what amounts to a quick warm-up, we also both recalled our own beginner's stories. I remember how the first 8K I ran as a 12-year-old got me hooked; the pride that came with that medal helped inspire me to run more. My running partner didn't start running until his forties; he remembers how difficult it was to get into the sport in those early years.<br /><br />I enjoyed your post and hope that your race went well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530326094518112527noreply@blogger.com
