Racing Day, It's Racing Day It's Not Doily Lacing Day!

It's here!! It's finally here!!!
Woke up at 3am to get dressed and catch the 3:30am bus. Done! Here we are on the bus!!

Get to the Epcot parking lot where there are huge spot lights and a DJ blaring music to get us excited! 

Yip. Santa was there too! Check out those gams!

Julie and I in our racing tanks and two long sleeve run shirts. It was cold. 8 degrees.  Brrrrr

Finally after a long wait...we headed to our corral F. felt like cattle. Moooooooo

Then waited some more. Kept ducking down to get warm. Poor Julie was shivering. We needed to run!!

Then it was time for the first corral to go! Yeah! It is starting! Then the second corral. Then third... then fourth... zzzzzzzzz. Wait! It's our turn!!!!  

And we are off! We stayed near the front as there were a lot of walkers in our group. Out of the Epcot parking lot and the first bridge over the road had Elsa and Ana wishing us luck! And 'fake' snow. Hahaha. Thought the people back home would appreciate that. 

Excuse any fuzzy photos folks....I was RUNNING!!! Whoo hoo! ME! AND JULIE! We had been training for months and it was Finally time!!! We were actually running the 10km run at DISNEY!!!!!!

Up the road we ran and onto a ramp and up a bridge and onto the highway. Along the way were characters.  There were Porta potties (sp?). But some people chose to run into the trees anyway...??? 

Then we saw it......the sign!!

Don't look at the time on it. That was from when the first corral went. We started 40 mins after them. But MILE 1 was down! 5.2 to go! (U.S. Conversion for you).   So we kept trucking along the highway. Cars honking. A truck plays music and videos for us. Awesome! Then we see.....

Mile 2!!!!!
