I started training this week for the Disneyland Star Wars Half Marathon in January and am trying to prepare myself mentally for the next few months.

Positives
Disney Races are always a blast
It's on my birthday weekend so I get to spend it at Disneyland
It will cross California off my list of racing in 50 states
Hanging out in LA for a week with friends

Negatives
First ever race and training that I'm doing without a running partner
The training will all be in cold weather
I've focuses on group fitness lately, don't enjoy running alone

So, this is going to be a challenging 11 weeks of training for me staying motivated and I may need some extra encouragement and support from all of you :)  It's very possible this will be my last Half Marathon...I'll likely focus on 10k or shorter races going forward.
