Jaime’s First Half Marathon….with Donald Duck and Mom

I love to run half marathons, it’s my favorite distance to run and Jaime wanted to give it a try.  I already ran a full marathon with Beth and have the best marathon picture ever to prove it!  Winking smile  Now Jaime’s going to give the half a try.  Let’s see how she did!

Bob was our support crew, and he traveled by foot, bus, and monorail to get into the Magic Kingdom by 5:30 a.m. so he could take our pictures and cheer us on.  This is the tree on Main Street USA and he claims it was crooked.  It’s ok Bob, it’s 5:30 a.m., and we’re glad you came to see us.

The castle was lit and waiting for the runners to run through it.

He’s watching for us, there were a lot of people running, it’s got to be hard to find us.

Because of his vast amount of experience as support crew, he found us!!  I heard someone shout JAIME!! and we ran back for a quick hug and pictures!!

We love the castle, we could hardly wait to run through it!

There were thousands of people waiting on Main Street.

Good job Jaime!

After I finish a marathon I always celebrate by eating an entire bag of cheese puffys myself.  A whole bag just for me.  This was a half marathon so we each got a half bag of cheese puffys!  It was a fun time with Jaime, and the medals, as you can see, were huge Donald profiles.
