Thanks, Kellie! Hahaha, I definitely second the “let’s meet up while NOT running idea!” That’d be awesome. It was great meeting you, too!

The lines can get to you, I know. Especially characters like that. You have to basically really, REALLY not care about your finish time (or what happens to your body after stopping for that long) in order to subject yourself to some of these waits. Definitely gets a little ridiculous!

Oooh, lucky for Doug! Glad it worked out for him! It was no biggie or anything, but I was a little surprised that Disney transportation wasn’t exactly working like clockwork that morning.

Thanks, Karla! I am such a huge dork…I AM ridiculously happy. And, oh man, that cool/cold weather really was just the cherry on top.

Yep. I’ve been there. Haha. I am ALL about getting the picture with the character I’m dressed as, whenever possible. And this is my second race as Ariel, too. These princesses all have more than one lovely costume…might as well take the opportunity to recreate our favorites.

Aw, thanks, Meranda! I kid you not, the hats really don’t bother me at all! I put a Bondiband on underneath, and I honestly forget I’m wearing it half the time! As long as it fits properly, of course…otherwise, yes, I do experience a bit of the bouncing around until I adjust it properly, lol.

Yep, a “hobble” is the best way to describe a significant chunk of both the half and full for me. Ugh. Sorry again about your injury…SO annoying!

LOL, it IS a little strange to stop right before the finish line. I always feel like a crazy person…you work so hard to get to that point, only to stop again? Haha.

Garden Grill was good! Would definitely recommend. It exceed my expectations!

Haha, aww, thanks Stacie! Had to be one of the easiest, too, which makes it even better!

Thanks, Juliana! UGH, REALLY?! I’ve been in one or two of those kinds of lines before. Super annoying. Shouldn’t they have, like, the “back-up” character ready and waiting to go…?

Boo…yeah, I was definitely disappointed in the half characters. I think they did a much better job with the marathon, at least in terms of some “rare” characters!

Thanks, Jessica! I completely agree…what is UP with them continuing to use the alligator? LOL

Aw, man, sorry to hear about your tummy troubles. All it takes it one little thing to make you feel completely “off,” and, yeah, getting sick doesn’t help either!

I think I need to jump onboard the KT Tape train. I’ve tried it in the past for an annoying foot pain/injury, and it did work wonders…so I think it might be time to give it a try on my knee. Because this is getting real annoying. Thanks for the tip!
