Some folks might ask: Why the Tinkerbell Half Marathon when there are many similar events that are not so far away? There are several reasons for this particular choice.
Firstly, it set a goal. I had a specific amount of time to accomplish the training needed to participate as a healthy, active individual.
Does everyone know how important written goals are? Both short and long term goals need to be written down along with dates for completion. That is the best way to accomplish anything.
I am not good at written goals; therefore, I don’t accomplish as much as I would like.
Secondly, I knew it would be a safe environment. There has always been a feeling of security in Disneyland for me, even those times that I am in the park on my own. I feel confident that the company does the very best they can to keep guests safe.
The third reason is that there is always an element of fun at Disneyland. If you have the attitude to enjoy any activity you are participating in, then it will be fun. Attitudes not only affect our own selves, they also affect those around us. Positive attitudes should be a constant work in progress. I certainly have to work on mine every day!
Lastly, but not the least important reason, was the challenge. I had not been as active as is needed, and I expected this challenge to provide the motivation for me to increase the level of my activity.
With all those reasons, the decision to participate in the Tinkerbell Half Marathon was an easy one for me to make.
