Disney Princess Half Marathon

Michele and I ran our first Half Marathon last week. It was such an incredible experience! We synchronized our ipods with a totally awesome playlist the night before. We got up at 2:45am and had to be in our starting coral by 5.  We had so much adrenaline when we started that we had to remember to slow down and pace ourselves.  It was such a fun course.  It started at Epcot and we ran through the Magic Kingdom and Cinderella's Castle, there were characters cheering us on, we peed in the bushes along the way.. it was the time of our life!! Even the training was an awesome experience.  I have never trained for anything before and it was so much fun having something to keep me motivated and to challenge my body.  I'm so happy I was able to do it with my sister!  I'm so lucky to have such amazing sisters!  Maybe one day we will all run one together..

That is such an awesome accomplishment Nikki! I remember being so emotional just after finishing a 10k (6 miles)! LOL So cool that you set your mind to do something and you accomplished it :) Let me know when you want to do another one and I'll train and do it with you!
