Disney Princess Half Marathon

I'm sorry that I've been an awful blogger recently! With a combo of an awful stomach virus, school and wedding planning everything has been a bit hectic! I did get a chance to run in the 5th Annual Disney Princess Half Marathon! It was wonderful and such an experience! 

ManThing and I got up at the wonderful hour of 3:00am to make it to the bus to get to the start line. 3:00am is really early to get up to run.

Here is me and my fitblr (fitness tumblr) buddy Sooz! She came all the way from Michigan to run in the race!  It was great to have finally met her in person! She was in a different corral as I was but still awesome anyways!

It was awesome that they had all kinds of characters set up along the way! They had the villains, heroes, and the princesses! It was just so much fun!

This is also Belle's new dress and wig! It was much better than the cartoon pictures they released.

Of course I had to get a picture with the wonderful Mary Poppins! She  is just adorable and perfect!

By the end of the race I was exhausted and really hungry. I feel like you can see it on my face how tired I was!

My wonderful, awesome, best friend and bridesmaid made this awesome sign and was holding it up at the 12 mile marker. Not only did I think it was awesome she apparently had a lot of people take picture of her sign and even give her hugs! 

After the race they took me to Olive Garden to replace the over 2,000 calories that I burned running the race. I was so tired that I almost feel asleep leaning on Mr. ManThing once I was done eating. We were going to go to Dapper Days over at Magic Kingdom afterwards but I was so tired that we decided to go home and take a nap. Mr. ManThing and I actually took a 2 hour nap before we headed out to Publix to scrounge up some dinner. 

I highly suggest this race to runners who are looking for a good race! Disney knows what they are doing. It was very well put together and very well run. Everyone was helpful, even the guy who let me borrow his phone after mine died after the race.  So if you are looking for a great, well put together race this is the race for you!
