Disney Princess Marathon!

This weekend Michelle and I participated in our first Disney Princess  1/2 Marathon (the most magical marathon ever)!  On Sunday morning we were up at the butt crack of 3 am and being bused to the starting line at 4.  I ran in a kids zebra skirt with pink frills,  neon yellow top with delightfully tacky sequined Minnie ears all 13.2 miles.  Michelle was a few minutes ahead when I reached the finish line but  I still finished strong considering my bum left foot.  I placed around 500 of 17,000 and I'm still not sure what my official chip time is but hopefully I'll know here soon (I'm thinking somewhere between 1hr 54 or 55 min).  After the magical run we went to the Magic Kingdom!  Having my little sister Kennedi there with me made it an extra special celebration.   Kennedi experienced her first plane ride, first visit to DisneyWorld  and her very first visit with my side of the family.  It was a great place for us to all relax and be kids again.  Maybe the lack of sleep over the weekend was what made me so giddy; regardless, I still had an amazing time.  Let's do this next year!!
