Comments:

This was a fun run with mom and pops. We did the Jeff Galloway as that's how pops has to do marathons. We did a 2:1 ratio and it was a little frustrating at first because I just wanted to run. But I knew that I needed to do this as well if I was going to finish this race.

Running through all the parks was very touching. Seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff is a side of Disney that you never see. There were characters all along the course and spread out quite well. The biggest one I wanted was Goofy as that was the race I was going to complete when I finished the marathon.

I really started to fall apart at mile 20. The Galloway got difficult and it was hard for me to start and stop with doing it...but kept plugging along.

If the race was 27 miles I'm not sure if I could have kept going! I was exhausted.

Thanks! Was very cool to run with them.  Any other race I'm much, much faster than them but having done the half the day before it worked out really well for me.

I see your goofy bib!
