You must not have been struggling too badly :) Or maybe I was more than I realized.

What?! You mean in the 14,000 other princesses around we should've found each other?! We'll have to try harder next time;-) I L-O-V-E-D the Princess Half: I loved the course, I loved the girl power goin on, I loved feeling strong after beating breast cancer, and I LOVE the sah-weet medal;-) I DIDN'T much like standing in the freezing cold temps for what seemed like ages until the start of the race. My husband asked me why I didn't bring my UnderArmour gear...I said, "Who brings ColdGear to Florida?!?!" It was a brutal wait...but so so so worth it. I remember thinking towards the end of the race that I was sad it was almost over because I just enjoyed it so much. I.feel.strong. Empowered. Love it. (Obviously I'm still on my post-race high!) I wish I had thought to tell you about the iPod thing. My first half about 3 years ago I was the nerdy one who followed the rules and was instantly disgusted when I was in my corral with 5,000 other people who seemingly ALL had their iPods:-Z It was good, but would have been so much better with music. So when I read the rules this time I pretty much disregarded that part;-) I know it makes a huge difference. Do this: plan to run one more half marathon with tunes...hehe;-) Sorry we didn't get the chance to meet up, but like I said maybe next time;-) You did great, Princess!!

Interesting about the cold morning. I always thought that the Disney marathon would be hot! hot! hot! which I hate the most for running. (Guess it depends on the time of year, eh? Go figure! ;)) anyway, I salute your brazen disregard for the race numbers! I'm a slow runner, but I still like the rush of the numbers. :P Way to go on the half marathon!

I love the way you process things in such a healthy way both mentally and physically. Such an inspiration! The best part to me was not just that you knew you needed some motivation but that you knew how to get it. You absolutely rock and you can do anything! This was a fabulous post.

It takes a few days/weeks/months post race for me too - for some reason the 12 miler training runs are always SO SO SO much easier than the race. Even as hardcore as I am/try to be, I definitely have moments of WTH am I thinking?!?!?!?! during the race. Also - I love love love the shirt!!!! I kinda covet it. :) You rock!
