Running Men

We had a busy weekend. This past year Dan and two of his friends, Dan S. & Hein, have been training for the Disney Marathon. Dan had been quite sick this past week and was unsure if he was going to be able to race (I would have used this as a valid excuse...) Anyway, he decided to give it a valiant effort. We drove to Orlando with our friends and went out and Pasta Binged the night before.

Men, Will, Worthy & Dan S.

The next morning was RACE day! The boys met at 3:30AM (not a typo) and set out to the park to start the race. I slept. Thanks to modern technology I was able to keep track of Dan through a device he had attached to his shoe that would send me text messages of his progress - VERY helpful. Because he had been sick, I was expecting to stop getting updates, thinking he ran out of steam, but NO, he finished and did AMAZING!!
He finished in 5hr30min.

and yes... he got a Gold Mickey Mouse medal :)

All the guys finished and are still friends - hopefully not hating Dan for getting them into this in the first place. Ha-ha
