| The 1 mile race team - in the sun! |
This year we focused on the Kids mile. Before the timed race began Jester Goofy came out to get the kids all excited to run!

| The signage was much better this year! |
My 2 daughters and my nephew did the mile together. Well they were at the start line together. My oldest took off like a shot. She was wearing her RunningSkirt, a tank top and her Rapunzel flowers in her hair. I ran along with my youngest. She had on her RunningSkirt with a yellow Rapunzel flower on her shirt. My brother-in-law ran with my nephew. The youngest two were both little troopers. They did a little run/walking along the way.
12:15 on the fields at ESPN can be a brutal time of day and it was full sun and warm despite a cool wind. The official water break was a welcome stop for my youngest. Once we got around to the track for the finish line stretch she took off and I stepped aside to the outside of the stands so I would not get in the way of runner photos. This year runDisney did special Tangled medals for the kids races. They were a huge improvement over the shields they got the last few years. They also got Tangled t-shirts instead of just I Did It shirts.

| The happy finishers on a very sunny field! |
They all grabbed their snacks after the race and we were off again. I had to head back into the expo to exchange my Princess 1/2 shirt for a smaller size. I had exchanged my 5k shirt earlier in the day. I had intended to check the shirt sizes on Friday, but had overlooked that detail. I registered for these races the day they opened...July 5 and needed smaller sizes after all the focused training and lifestyle changes.

This is so cool! What a great way for Disney and you to encourage a lifetime of healthy fitness for them! I bet they LOVED the metals!! I do!
ReplyDeleteThey love it all...being with family, the expo, the races, the special celebration dinners, the t-shirts that they can wear proudly later, and of course the medals! I love that we have so much fun doing it together. We only go to Disney during runDisney weekends so we can combine fun in the parks with great times racing!
