Labor Day weekend, Matt, the boys, Papa Lito and Grandma Lita (Matt's parents), and I enjoyed an amazing weekend in San Diego, and then a trip to Disneyland. We kicked off the Disney trip with a half marathon (well, I kicked off the trip with the run - everyone else slept). Here's a blurb about the race from the site:
"Just before sunrise, runners embarked on the 13.1 mile course along legendary Main Street U.S.A. at Disneyland® Park, through Radiator Springs in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure® Park and on to the streets of Anaheim past local landmarks, with a celebratory finish near the Disneyland® Hotel."
The hart part of the race was that it started at 5:30am (yes, AM!!!) I had to get up at 4am and get to the starting line by 4:30. The night before, I was of course getting nervous I'd miss the start so I woke roughly every two hours. This is my glamor shot from race morning with no sleep.
I finished the race in 1:36 - not my PR (I missed it by 5min) and felt great! It was surprising since I haven't been able to train much. Here are my full results:
- Running through the park, there were multiple characters already on rides (e.g. all the princesses on the merry go round)
- Running through the stadium, there were videos and names of all the runners - awesome!
- Mickey and Minnie kissed at the starting line while wearing race clothes - so cute.
