My Walt Disney World Marathon - VIDEO

I know some of you may already have seen this posted on Jim's blog, but I wanted to share it here too.  I know a lot of people don't want to spend the time to watch someone else's video - and this one is 15 minutes which is pretty long - but it's really awesome - and not because it's about me!!  It's just awesome because my wonderful husband spent so much time editing it, putting just the right clips, pics, and music together.  I've heard from several people it might make you a little teary eyed.  

It was such a wonderful and special day and it's so great to have these memories captured here forever!  There could be some embarrassing dance moves and some morning hair on here - but it was worth it to have this day put on video.




Oh, I forgot to include the You Tube link before so here it is if you want to watch it in a little larger screen. Thanks everyone for watching and the amazing comments!!  Seriously it means alot to me that something like this might also mean something to someone else.

  8. I won't lie. I started watching and thought "Oh, I'm not gonna' watch fourteen minutes of this!"

    I watched every second. I love the video. I wish we all had videos like that of our races!

    Two last things. Cherish that video and who made it possible. And he's completely right, no matter what happens, no one can take the title of "marathoner" away from you.

    P.S. McD's? Really?

  15. I seriously became a teary mess watching this video!!!! I think for 2 reasons:

    1) Disney was my first marathon. 'Nuff said!

    2) My husband ran alongside me, encouraging me the whole way, and we too finished hand-in-hand.

    How lucky are we that we, as individuals and as couples, get to do such cool stuff???!!!!

    Well done!
