I had such a great time this weekend! I wish I had taken more pictures but eh, it is what it is. I met great people, learned alot about myself, and really enjoyed myself.

Can't wait to do this again! And now I really want to do the full in January!
 
Great report and GREAT JOB! Thanks for posting...I love seeing everyone's pictures since I had the camera mishap and have no photos on the race.
 
Great report! I followed Bieber girl for a lot of the second 1/2 of the race, but lost her when I stopped to get a picture with the pirates.
 

LOL! she's famous! Loved that Bieber girl. She kept me truckin'!!
I need to make a catchy shirt for the 1/2 and Full in January and see if I make it into anyone's race recaps.:rotfl: There were a lot of shirts that I thought about taking pictures of, but I felt dorky taking pictures of peoples shirts.

Great report! I liked the people whose shirts said "if you can read this, that means I'm not last." I giggled every time I saw one.
 
Congrats on a great race and a great report. I had to laugh at the parts about being an angry runner or a hateful runner. You're not alone. During one of my snow/slush romps a few weeks ago I got so frustrated that I just stopped, threw my arms up and in the air and let out a big AARRRGGGHHH!

And running does grow on you. Even now, I wouldn' say I "love" to run, but I know that it has gotten easier and faster as time goes by.

holy wow, I think we were probably sooooo close (I was in D also) because I recognize a LOT of people that I was following as well in your pics! I remember the Beiber girl and then in your pic at the start I recognize those two princess off to the left with the giant pink tiaras, lol GREAT blog!!!
 
Awesome blog! I too was like what the heck on the way back with the Epcot balloon. :lmao:

See you next year! I'm sorry I didn't meet any of the WISHers this time around.

i'm hoping it grows on me. the sense of accomplishment really was something great!

From one Angry runner to another;).... AWESOME JOB:thumbsup2:thumbsup2

LOL! glad to know i'm not the only one! i hate that i'm angry but maybe it keeps me going!

yes! let's make sure to meet up next year! and next time we'll know that the balloon isn't really the real ball!
 
Omg I love the post on your blog :thumbsup2 It was like running it again! (without all the pain and tutus). I finished a time close to you but I was in Corral B so I would have crossed the finish line first 2:22:43. I can't believe you carried a camera with you the whole time!! It took everything I had just to run the whole thing- I couldn't have carried a camera too!

The sad part is that I don't even remember lilo and stitch, and barely have a remembrance of those drum guys :rotfl: must have been that focus. I got confused about the Epcot ball too! I was thinking we were almost there. I also don't even remember seeing the castle because I was so focused on trying to find my mom in the crowd (who had gotten stuck on a monorail and didn't see me until mile 12!).

Congrats and great job (on both the race and blog ;)) :thumbsup2

wow that's a great time! we are 2:22 twins! lol!!

i only had a little canon digi with me so it was very easy to carry. i actually didn't even notice it while i was carrying it! i thought i would but, like you, i was really just focused on finishing so i wasn't paying attention to it.

seeing your mom at mile 12 i'm sure was still totally worth it! i would have loved to see ANYONE i knew at that point!

thanks for reading :hug:
 
Awesome race report and pics!! So much fun to have met you and Summer! Sorry I sort of bailed on y'all after we got off the bus...I had to sort of get in my "zone" when we got to Epcot.

Fun race!
