One of my goals to keep me running was to have a race for the future. When I found out about the Disneyland 5k I was pumped and ready to go. Of course like all plans they get altered and I soon found excuses not to run, things come up and what not. But David and I still planned to run it no matter what! (Also it was a nonrefundable.) Our Day started at waking up at 5am, we left the boys at home with Nana and headed out to Anaheim, Ca. The race started at 6:45am but we wanted to have time to check in and get settled. Believe or not I was somewhat nervous, I don't know why, it was only 3 miles and its not like I was being graded, but I did have butterflies in my stomach. Of course when you go to D-land everything is magical so they started off the races with a very excited DJ at 6am getting people pumped, the Barbershop quartet and of course Mickey and Minnie in the fake fur! The Barbershop quartet sang the National Anthem which both Dave and I got chills and made us think that soon events like this may not be able to happen. With a crack and streamers flying in the air the race began! But we really didn't get over the starting line for almost 2-3min. We were kind of in the middle of the crowd. I would say that for the 1st mile David and I were just trying to weave our way through a ton of walkers. I tried to keep up with Dave but soon found out that was not likely to happen. I soon fell behind and just kept a steady pace by myself. I saw him for a brief moment and then he was gone! I thought that the run was so fun. It was really interesting to see the back lot of Disneyland and see where they keep things and how things work behind the scenes.
As we approached the finish line at Main Street USA I just couldn't help but feel proud and accomplished of myself because, even though I haven't been training regularly I still was able to finish and that was a great feeling. We all recieved a medal and some goodies at the end. My time was 33:27 an 11 minute mile pace slow but steady and that's all that matters!
Daves was 30min something he couldn't remember he said he could have definetley gone faster if the ocurse was wider and there were not so many walkers.
I would definetley do it again and can't wait to run my next 5k!
