Race:  Disney Princess Half Marathon

Distance:  13.1 Miles

Time: 1:57:21  (5K Split: 28:22, 10K Split: 56:14, 15K Split: 1:24:07)

Finish: Overall Place: 721 / 13797, Gender Place: 661 / 13114, Division Place: 124 / 2194

Comments:  For my first half marathon, this was certainly a fun race!  Characters, bands, volunteers and spectators lined the entire way.  My favorite, of course, were the gymnasts on the trampoline.  I had to smile at that!  A guy making a video for YouTube was running near me for almost the entire race.  He was kind of running around for lack of a better description.  I'm not sure how I stayed off his radar and didn't make it into the video (should I be insulted?), but you will not see me there.

Lesson(s) Learned:  Always look for the finisher shirt.  I don't know if they had one, but I didn't see it.  I wish I had known to search it out.

Race:  Disney Royal Family 5K

Distance:  5K

Time:  No official time, but we finished crossed the finish line at approximately 30:30.

Finish:  No official time

Comments:  Fantastic!  So much fun!  We had a blast!  Basically, we ran from one character to the next.  Angel Girl was so excited to see many of the Disney Princesses.  I had the girls in the Phil & Teds stroller, and Hubby was in charge of the camera. 

Lesson(s) Learned:  My navy Nike shorts are short enough that I cannot wear a 'regular' t-shirt with them.  I do not appear to be wearing pants in the photos.
