Half Marathon FUN!

Well in preparation for training for my FULL marathon (26.2 miles) I decided to run the inagural Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon! Of course I had to enlist some of my biggest supporters to help! Terry ran, my great friend and her husband aTiffany and Brant, My brother in law Kevin (Patty was there for SUPPORT) and one of my oldest closest friends and her husband Lisa and Nic. It was a fun "adult only" Disney weekend! Terry and I had a blast at Epcot without any kids and the race was AWESOME! Disney does everything BIG and this race was no exception! The race started at 10 p.m. and I dressed as snow white! Terry and I got into corral A which was a big deal, that means we got to start 1st and not weave through all the walkers and joggers! I was really only hoping to do the race in 2:30 but much to my surprise, I finished the race in 2:15 a new Personal Record for me!! I was soooooo excited!! Terry has NEVER ran more than 6 miles in his life and he stayed with me the ENTIRE race and fisnished with me! It was a great feeling to run the race in under my estimated time and feel GREAT afterwards! The afterpart was a BLAST!! We stayed and ate and drank around Epcot (all the countries) until 4 a.m. then headed back to the hotel and crashed!! We will definitley be signing up again next year although Terry and Brant are now "retired runners!" They said they will be waiting at the finish line for us :)
