Disneyworld...where dreams come true

The second weekend of January, we packed up and headed out to Disneyworld.
I ran in the DisneyWorld Half-Marathon on January 9. It was amazing. God is more amazing.

These are a two different videos from the event.



We arrived at Disney around 4:15a.m. and by 4:30 it was snowing... SNOWING in Orlando, FL. The snow didn't last long but it sleeted and rained the rest of the morning. It was below 30 degrees....very unusual for Disney. Leaving the hotel early early early in the morning

Rebekah and I bundled up before the race

I finished in 3 hours 2 minutes and 3 seconds. I was the 12,752 person out of 17,127 people to finish the half-marathon. The 6,549 woman out of 9,688. There were 1,256 women in my division alone. I was the 907th finisher for my division. I'm very glad I wasn't last!

I'm planning on doing the DisneyWorld Princess Half-Marathon in 2011 with a dear friend (and anyone else who is up for it).

We spent two days at the Disney Parks. We visited the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot. We all enjoyed it.
