In 2013 when I ran Disney, I did the "Goofy Challenge" which means I ran the half marathon on Saturday morning and then the full marathon on Sunday morning. It wasn't as bad or as tough as it sounds, but both races start at 5:30am. To get to the start in time, you really have to wake up no later than 3:30am and doing that two days in a row was hard! For 2014 I decided to run the full marathon only. Here are a few photos from the race day...
Main Street USA! This is the funnest part of the race - there is music playing and big crowds of people and everyone knows you are coming up on Cinderella's castle in a few minutes which is the most best photo op of the day. And it's early in the race at about mile 5, so you still have the energy to be excited!
The castle! Do you see the guy taking his picture behind me? No? How about his arms that appear from nowhere out of my shoulders? Yep, that's awesome.
Disney characters! Rapunzel and Flynn!
I like a Disney princess, but the lines to take your picture with them were all very long. For some reason, it wasn't too bad for these guys - and personally I think Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck are about as "A-list" as a Disney character can be!
The finish line!! That's my friend Beth on the right - she has been in several of my photos and was part of the group that came over to run in Lisbon last fall. And Beryl on the left - Beryl is another Team in Training coach and she did the Goofy Challenge this year. Another fun year at Disney!
