WEEK #24
Time flies when you are having a blast.
I ran that Disney ½ Marathon, what a blast. A challenge, but a blast!
Here’s a recap:
Starting Line:
Mickey and Minnie sent us off with a huge firework display.
The 13.1mile maze begins:
Mile 1 thru 5 led us through the Disney and California Adventure Theme Parks. Every Disney character conceived greeted and cheered us on!
Mile 6 thru 9 led us through the city streets of Anaheim. High school bands and cheerleading squads roared at every mile marker.
Mile 10 led us through Angel Stadium. Our mugs were splashed across the monster screen as the announcer’s booth called out random names and runner numbers.
Mile 11 thru 12 led us to the main entrance of the Disney gates. It felt as if a parade was in full swing. It truly felt like thousands of people were lined up like at the Thanks Giving parades simply calling out runner names and cheering us on.
Mile 13.1 led us through Disney’s downtown Disney and finally to what felt like a red carpet premiere. Cameras and news crews flashing everywhere.
At times it felt as if I was running on the actual Sun and I was a tad sore starting at mile 10 I remained sore the remainder of the day and the next day. But, I rec’d a very cool, I say very cool medal and a lifetime of memories.
Life Lesson: No matter what keep moving forward!
