I have been anticipating registering for the Princess Half-Marathon in Disney World for months now! After learning just how quickly those spots fill up, I was on pins and needles Tuesday at noon, when registration opened for the 2014 race.
Not only was I trying to get myself in, but I was also attempting to register my running partner, Marcia, who happens to be out of town. After dreaming about this race for months, not getting in would have truly broken my heart!
At 11:45, I had everything ready to go! Notes written down, credit cards ready, and hands on the keyboard, so at exactly noon, I could click the register button! It took a few minutes to get everything set up, but I have never been happier than when I received this email for the two of us!
It's officially official!
It's officially official!
I am running the Princess Half-Marathon in Disney World in February 2014!
Excited, and still in a bit of shock on Tuesday!
This is such a dream come true, and I can't believe it's really happening! I'm not half-marathon ready yet, but I know with hard work and dedication, I can get there, just like my first 5K and 10K.
Marcia and I are participating in the Glass Slipper Challenge, a brand new 10K/Half-Marathon combination that Disney is doing for the very first time this coming year. The Enchanted 10K will take place on Saturday morning at 5:30AM, and the Princess Half is the following day, also at 5:30! Talk about a jam-packed weekend! Runners that finish the 10K and half-marathon races will be awarded three different Disney medals!
The beautiful Princess Half-Marathon 2013 medal:
I can't wait for the 2014 medals to be released!
Marcia and I were also able to choose the type of Disney princess bib we would like to wear for our races, an option I absolutely loved!
I quickly chose Cinderella, and Marcia will be wearing an Ariel bib for the weekend!
We are so excited and blessed to be able to participate in something this amazing! Though the individual races are still open for registration, the Glass Slipper Challenge sold out just before 5PM on Tuesday, less than five hours after it opened!
Disney World, here we come!
