Disneyland Half Marathon - 2009

This past weekend Ron and I headed down to Disneyland for me to take part in the Disneyland Half Marathon. We arrived on Saturday and headed straight to the expo to pick up my bib and check out all the cool sports stuff they had for sale. After a few hours of walking, we went to the movie and watch Gamer. Since the race was the next morning and we had to get up at 4:00AM, we decided to make it an early night and just relax in the room.

Got up bright and early on Sunday morning and headed to the race!! Last year I was in the very last Corral and it was not that great! This year, I was in Corral D which was a much better section to be in. At around 6:15AM we started the race and all the fun!!

Start of the Race - Mile .25

Running into Disneyland - Mile 2.5

Running in Downtown Disney - Mile 2.25

Running to the finish line - Mile 13

My finish time was 2:55, not be best race or training time, but a 12 minute improvement from Disneyland Half last year.

Happy it is over!!

I was also eligible for the Coast-to-Coast Challenge medal since I ran the Disney World Princess Half Marathon in March. So, I was super excited to get two medals!!

On Monday, Ron and I headed into California Adventure to checkout all the new stuff they have going on over there. The characters at that park are much more interactive than at Disneyland. There is also a Talk with Crush section on Hollywood Blvd that is worth checking out...It was super fun!
