Disney Princess Half Marathon!

For the past few months, I have been working on my running stamina, much like we work on our reading stamina at school every day! I started out running one mile, and then two, and then three...and so on, which led up to this weekend: my half-marathon in Disney World! I ran with some friends and Mr. Peterson was there to cheer me on! Practice really does pay off!
I miss you all and will see you on Tuesday! I will bring my medal to class to show you!
Mr. Peterson and I visited the Cinderella Castle!
On the morning of the run, we woke up at 3:30 AM. It was very cold and dark outside!
My friend, Sarah, did the half marathon, too! I dedicated my run to her!
Being silly before the run
Finally, the sun came out as I ran through the Magic Kingdom!
This is me and Miss Wiechert. Does her name sound familiar? She is our pen pals' teacher! Showing off our medals!
Me with Mr. Peterson, my own personal cheer squad!
