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

i look terrible but i finished! :worship: :worship:
 

Awesome pictures! And congrats to you for waking up that early and running that! Way to go!
 
i LOVE your pictures!!!!!
This has made me wanna participate next year!! Hopefully I'll be living in So Cal by then so it would be much easier to go.
Thanks for sharing!
 
Awesome pictures! I love seeing the rare characters out. That's so cool Maleficent was out on the top of castle. Congrats on completing the half-marathon! :thumbsup2
 
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?

awww your too sweet! i have a weak spot for characters i had to stop :rotfl:

no i dont remember his name but he was fabulous!! DL always finds the best people!
i cannot wait to do it next year!:thumbsup2
 
I love all your pictures with the characters. :thumbsup2

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