    Just got home last night, drove through a major snow storm coming home from Buffalo airport. ; ; As for the marathon weekend, ; all I can say is WOW! ; What an amazing event! ; A must do in my books......... for me. ; I ran the half-marathon on the saturday morning. ; My race plan was to enjoy the race, stop and get my picture taken with characters and attractions. ; (hard for me to stop since I'm incredibly competitive). ; My race time was 2hours 4mins and I made 7 stops to get my picture taken (many of the characters had lines), so I was very very pleased with my performance and my placement out of the 28,000 runners was just over 4000.
    I will try in post some pics once I get my life in order again.
    Believe or not, ; we leave a week friday to head back to WDW with family....crazy, crazy, crazy

    Hope everyone that participated had as good of time as I did and achieved the goals they set out for themselves. ;
