Disney Princess!!

Ran Disney's Princess Half-Marathon this past weekend.  It was so much fun.  The costumes were fantastic.  Seeing men wearing princess costumes and fairy wings made me smile the whole way through.  I tried to get in the spirit by wearing pink shorts and a Cinderella blue top with a tiara to match.  Rookie mistake though, I wore my long sleeve shirt under my regular top.  Halfway through Tomorrowland I stopped and managed to take the shirt off.  It made the rest of the race so much better.  It was pretty chilly at the beginning, which is why I had the long sleeve shirt to begin with.  I kind of wish I had just run in shorts and a shirt.  By the time we finished it was really warm.  Amanda had an amazing time. It was great running the race with her.  Our time wasn't spectacular but that didn't matter.  This race was about having fun and enjoying the sights and sounds.  Every mile marker had some sort of Disney movie on it and the characters were nearby.  We took pictures with most of them.  The pirates were my favorite.  We bonded over rum, of course.  Disney put on a spectacular race.  Fireworks at the start for each corral was inspiring.  Great volunteers along the course, yelling out my name (since it was on the bib).  Yup, I am now an official princess; my bib says so. I'll post a pic of it soon.  The finish had a lot of photographers to take our pictures, which we did with medals in hand.  This is def. a race I would run again and recommend others to do with me, as a group.  Now, my focus is turned to Talladega.  And after that Warrior Dash.  Then, who knows.  But I have my eyes set on Running like a diva, for those of you up in NY.
