Run

4:42:05 | 26.2 miles | 10m 45s min/mile

Pre-Race Routine and Warm-Up:
Got up early, ate some oatmeal and put on as many layers as would still allow me to be able to run!

Performance Comments:
Have I ever mentioned before that I don't like running in the cold? And this wasn't Florida cold, this was cold, cold! It took some time to get the muscles "warmed up" to actually feel like I was running and not just shuffling along. Dad and I took the disposable cameras they gave us in our goody bag and took pics all along the course which made it a lot more fun! We figured once the sun came up, it would feel better, but unfortunately it didn't and around mile 20, our legs started feeling it. At that point we started doing a run/walk to get through to the finish. We knew it was going to be brutal, so no complaints with this performance. I love running through the Disney parks, so it's never disappointing!

What Would You Do Different?
I shed a layer at mile 9...big mistake for me. I should have kept it, especially since we started walking later in the race! Brrrr!

Post Race Activities and Cool Down:
Got out of there and into the car as fast as possible! Brrrr! Got back to the motorhome and laid down into front of two heaters to thaw out!

Event Comments:
I love this race, all the Disney characters out cheering you along, running through all of parks...it's a great time!

Would You Do This Race Again?
Absolutely!
