Race Recap: Disney Family Fun 5k

Sorry for the lack of posts over the past week - we just got back from an exhausting Disney trip and I didn't find time to post while there.  Now that I'm home, I have lots to share about the Run Disney events that I participated in over the 2013 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend!  I'll start with the Family 5K since that was our first event of the weekend.

On Friday January 11, the Walt Disney World Fun Run 5K started at 6:30 AM.  This meant getting up at 4:00 to catch a bus over to Epcot from the Coronado Springs Resort.  My parents entered the race with us.  Unfortunately, my mom has a torn tendon in her foot so we just walked the 5k.  This did give us time to stop of for many character photos on the race course through Epcot Center.  I'll post some of the character photos later, once they're uploaded!

It was nice to take the race at a slow pace this year.  Last year we tried to run, but got caught up by large crowds of people.  It was a bit frustrating at the time.  This year it took us an hour and a half to finish, but it was more fun to take character photos.

The 2013 shirt and medal were better than those from 2012.  They featured Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto! Overall it was a fun event, despite our sleep depravation!
