93. The lady—I believe her name was Peggy Sue—who, until her death, was at all the rD events with her sign that said “Hello, Complete Stranger, I’m Proud of You, Too!” She was usually near the end of the race.

I wonder if she was the lady I saw early on in the 2011 Disneyland Half Marathon. It was much earlier in the race even before we went into Disneyland, but seeing that lady with her sign gave me a much needed boost as I would not quite believe that I was going to finish that race until about mile 12 or so.

100. That feeling, on board Magical Express or walking into the lobby of your hotel, that you are exactly where you are meant to be and that all is right with the world. I get that feeling on every trip to WDW.

That was probably her. I think she went to all the DL races, too. I read an article about her after she died. The races where I saw her, she was using a mobility scooter, and she had filled the basket with candy for the runners.

Thanks for that. It's nice to possibly put a name to her face. I think of her every race, especially when I see someone who has a sign like hers.

I did a little research, and found the article I read about her:

I also think of her when I run Disney. She was there for my first several races.
