Hey guys,

I just had to share a NSV today. This weekend is the Disney World Marathon Weekend and while I didn't sign up for the half or full marathon, I did sign up for their inaugural Minnie Mouse 10k. This isn't my first 10k as I do the Austin Capitol 10k every year BUT this was my best time EVER!!!!!!

Usually it takes me about 1:57 to complete the 10k but at Disney I completed my race in 1:44:57 and that was WITH stops to take pictures of the race.

I am so excited! 10 days into 2014 and I am already rocking it. I can't wait to see if I can beat this time in April at the Cap 10k.

Just shows that if you keep at this weight loss/fitness journey great things do come of it!

    Congrats!! the 10k was humid, and so was the half marathon. I am glad the full cooled down a bit.

    Dopey Challenge was amazing! Never thought I could do it, but it was awesome!

    Oh my gosh! It is so worth it! I signed up to run the Disneyland Half-Marathon weekend in August! I am excited because I have never been to Disneyland and now I get to see it in a different light!

    For the 2015 Disneyworld Marathon Weekend I am planning to attempt the Dopey Challenge. Can't wait to register!

    Good luck with the training!

    May I ask where did you stay? I'm reading that staying at a Disney resort, possibly one along the monorail was the best option for most even if it got crowded.

    Thanks!

    The past two times I actually stayed at a hotel close to Downtown Disney and found one on Groupon. This last time I just hitched a ride with someone else who was going to the race but you can taxi it. This next time I will probably book ahead and stay at one of the "host resorts" that has a free shuttle to and from the race.
