toddlers and tiaras

howdy,

i know i mentioned i did the disney princess half marathon last month, but i wanted to go a little bit more in depth with pictures in hopes that it will inspire you to join me and the 17,000 other princesses running next year! 

the day before the race we picked up our race packets and walked around the expo for an hour or so. they had a TON of really cute running gear for sale. things you didn't even know you were missing out on! i got a cute t-shirt made of bamboo (super soft) and the best earpiece ever

the morning of the race we woke up at 2:40a (which, by the way, is 1:40a in my timezone). we got ready by the light of our cellphones so as not to wake up the sleeping baby. we met up with our friends who were also running the race at 3:15a in front of the shuttles. and then the party started!! a DJ was getting everyone pumped up with fun music. there were tiaras, boas, dresses, and glittery princesses EVERYWHERE! the energy was so high that you would not have guessed it was 3:00a....

so here we go....

red carpet fun!

fireworks for every corral

a magic spell at the start line from the fairy godmother

capt. jack sparrow (blurry bc i was running before the sun came up)

mile 8 or 9 and still smiling!

our friends caught up with us at the end!

epcot - mile 12


aaaand done!

seeeee!?! don't ya wanna go lace up and hit the pavement now!!

so much entertainment along the way - highschool marching bands, gospel choir, characters, people on stilts, acrobats, cheering crowds... it's just plain magical. 

worth every penny! do it! you won't regret it.
