Goofy Challenge -2 Races, 2 Finish Lines!

This will be my 5th year in a row doing the Wine & Dine Half Marathon, it’s actually probably one of my favorite races (maybe only second to the Walt Disney World Marathon), which may have something to do with the fact that it was my first race EVER back in 2011! Since I’ve done … Continue reading
