Well our Gators won!! We are the National Champs!!! Go Gators.
It was a great game. It was a late night...we did not get to bed till 2am Friday morning. We managed to get up a few hours later...at 7am...to get back in the car to drive back up to Orlando for the Disney half marathon.
After a slight mishap with directions, we made it to our hotel...the Contemporary. The whole drive up to Orlando we were all re-hydrating with coconut water and snacking on our raw treats to keep us going. Yum...raw chocolate chip cookies...raw cranberry orange fig balls....raw brownies...raw cinnamon apple cookies
After we registered for our race and did a bit of shopping at the Expo, my sisters and I had a lovely dinner at the restaurant in our hotel called the Wave. We all enjoyed an avocado orange salad with a side of steamed carrots. Perfect meal to end a long day and to only get up early to run/walk 13.1 miles. Disney was very nice to tolerate our gluten free dairy free request.
This was our oldest sister, Carrie's, first half marathon. We all were so excited for her to experience the thrill of racing. We all laid out our outfits and food for race day and got to bed around 9:30pm, after watching the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom, which we watched in the privacy our balcony. Gotta love Disney!!
2:45am came quick...none of us felt we slept...but that was okay the excitement of the race took over.
We all got dressed and enjoyed a small cup of coffee with a slice of raw date fig coconut bar. Then we were off the start line. We caught the last monorail out of the Contemporary at 4am that took us to Epcot. It was chilly...
We stood in line with about 21,000 other racers. Then fireworks went off at 6am and the race started. The race was fun...taking pictures...being with the sisters...and of course being at the happiest place on Earth...Disney. The finish line was in sight and we all crossed it together and got our Donald Duck medals. We all look forward in doing it all again next year...will you??
