I have to admit I did not feel ready for the 5K. The most I had run was 1.5-1.6 miles but I was able to do that continuously. We picked up our packets on Friday afternoon. I didn't sleep well at all that night and then had to get up early the next day. I just didn't want to fail by not making it the whole way. The place was really busy when we arrived. I have been to Disney for they events but this was my first particiation. But I did finish in about 47+ minutes with a good 12 minute mile. I walked and ran the distance. It was really fun, there were Disney characters along the way, lots of Disney employees cheering us on. It felt great to be a part of this event, especially since it was geared toward women. I went with Laura and three of her co-workers. It was nice to have people you know there. When it was over we got our "metals" and then went out for a BIG breakfast and then took a two hour nap! I am looking forward to the next 5K - hopefully I will be able to run the entire thing. After that on to a 10k! My goal this year is to run The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 13K on October 24, 2009 - my 50th Birthday !!! So I'm looking for my next 5K and continuing to train.
