My friends and I selected special outfits to wear on race day that included glittery makeup, tulle skirts, large fairy wings, and custom tank tops embroidered with “It’s not sweat, it’s pixie dust!”
Oh, there’s a space! Oh wait, that space is gone. Can I really squeeze through there? Oh, what the hell. Two miles of the course actually took us through Disneyland itself, which was such a highlight of the day. We ran through some of the backstage areas, usually only accessible to Disney cast members, and saw parade floats and Disney characters. We even spotted the Lost Boys riding the carousel! I anticipated seeing runners taking pictures with the characters, but I didn’t anticipate runners stopping andto take pictures with the characters. Anyhoo, running down Main Street was a trip.
At the mile nine marker, the race had set up an energy gel station, so we grabbed our GU and sucked it down. I took this chance to quickly check my phone and read some of the messages people had sent me. I had eighty-two notifications! I was overwhelmed. The combination of GU and feeling all the love from friends gave me a huge surge of energy. I honestly felt better during miles nine through twelve than I did throughout any other part of the race.
