DL Mini Trip Report*pictures*: Running the disneyland half marathon solo! *COMPLETE*

[where's_my_prince]

hi guys, this is my first trip report so bear with me, but i just got home from running the Disneyland half marathon!!!! yes im incredibly sore:sad2: but i just took some pain killers so i feel much better
i am about to post pictures of the two day "trip" i use " because i live 45 min away from DL so i didn't stay at a hotel. and i didn't actually go to Disneyland because 1) deluxe AP is blocked 2) after completing 13.1 miles the only thing i wanted to do was lay down

FYI there are (unfortunately) no food porn pics because i am (unfortunately) on a diet :headache: trust me, after i finished all wanted was some beignets from Jazz Kitchen Express *sigh* maybe next time


alright so stay tuned!!!:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

Honey, if that's looking terrible at the end of the race, then I am definitely doing something wrong!! You look great! and I love the pics!
We didn't take time to get in the lines for character pics...and I did them on the disposable camera they gave us, so still need to get them developed.

Fun times!

Do you remember the name of the guy who sang the National Anthem? Wasn't he wonderful?

[BecomingObsessed]

Your character pictures are so fun!! What a great report :) Congrats on the run!!

We stopped to take pictures at the mile markers and in front of the Mickey Head flowers in DL but that's all. The lines were so long and I didn't want to risk not finishing in time.

[Eight]

Have to admit, I'm kind of jealous that they had Tiana AND Naveen AND Louis out. :laughing: Congratulations on finishing, that's great!

[where's_my_prince]

thank you!
and i know ive gotten a picture with tiana and naveen before but i have only seen louis at the show boat jubilee so when i saw him when i was running i almost had a panic attack i wanted to like yell at someone "OMG ITS LOUIS!" but i was running alone :rotfl: :rotfl:

[Judy from Boise]
