Mommy just got back from completing her second Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon down in Orlando. I had done it a few years back with Steff and knew I had to do it again.
This year a friend from high school met me down there and we went to a few parks on Saturday afternoon. We rode the Aerosmith roller coaster and Tower of Terror and then hit Epcot.
At Epcot we met Donald and MULAN! Mulan was very cool. We had a margarita in Mexico, some champagne in France and then had a yummy sushi dinner in Japan.
Sunday morning I was up BRIGHT and early to make the race start. I didnt bring a camera along the race, but Holly did capture a couple of me at the finish. The race itself is just a blast. I think there were 12,000 runners this year and I have to say that at least half were dressed in some sort of princess costume. I decided to go costume-less this year... maybe I'll find a tiara for next year.
I finished in 2:06:56. Not a personal record, but close. I wish I had known I was doing so well, or I might have tried for a sub 2 hour time. I stopped and took pictures along the way with characters and stopped for more water than I probably needed. I knew I just wanted to have fun on this run - but Im thinking I probably could have had fun AND gotten a PR at the same time. Oh well... next year.
Yes, Im definitely doing it again next year! Im already counting down the days.
