Yes, I am alive. I was going to wait until I got the pictures of me at the finish line but it was taking too long. But last Monday, Me and 15,000 other people completed a 13.1 half marathon. It was an unbelievable experience.
Here is how the day went down.
I had to be there at 4:30am to get ready. I was so excited the night before that I got maybe 2 hours of sleep. Not good before having to run a long distance.
Stocked up on pasta (the night before) bagels, bananas, gatorade, and an energy bar.
Got in position with the 3 hour group. (the slower ones) and then I just started running.
We started in Downtown Disney, went through disneyland, California Adventure, the streets of Anaheim, around the Pond arena, inside Angel stadium on the field, back into Disneyland where my friends Becky, Mike, and Nicole were waiting along with Mickey and Goofy at the finish line.
I also counted 5 different ambulances come get people while I was jogging. Thank God I wasnt one of them.
I received a huge disneyland medal and certificate and then went and ate a whole lot of food.
This was my goal for 2007
Now I need a new one for 2008. Im thinking scuba lessons.

Congrats on this accomplishment--I knew you could do it!
I'm so proud of you! It was fun to be there at the end of the race. You have inspired me to attempt running the race next year!
