New Castles

Today I ran my second half marathon. This time, at the Happiest Place on Earth. I also set a new personal half marathon record, finishing 11 minutes faster than my last half marathon. I’m pretty damn stoked about that.
The medal is huge and I feel like Flava Flav when I am wearing it. Because the medal is so large and it has the castle on it, I am celebrating with another large castle. A 25-oz Newcastle.
This run was in memory of my dear friends Julie and Val who loved Disneyland. Cheers to you 2, my lovely friends who were taken too soon. Cancer sucks so I’m kicking its ass for you.

    AWESOME!
    Keep on kicking Cancer’s ass-you’re amazing!

    BTW-I don’t think Flava Flav looks nearly as good as you do in a medal like that!

    A coworker of mine does the Disney Marathon in Florida every Christmas holiday. (I think it’s early Jan?) Congrats on your run and record breaking time.

    I personally do not get runners. I think you’re all insane. ;)
