I had first heard of the Disney races through a friend (that works at Disney) of a friend (that I worked with at the Houston Zoo). I ran my first half marathon on February 24, 2013 - a day that holds special significance for me - and I completed it. I had heard that races were like tattoos - you never do/get just one. Well, I got my first tattoo on St. Patrick's Day 2010 and that's the only one so far. I thought maybe running would produce a similar result - one and done.
Imagining the feeling I would get when finishing in no way compared to the actual feeling.
I'm a fairly emotional person. I will cry watching a sports championship; the visit from family on Day 35 of Survivor leaves me bawling and clutching a blanket; a text-video of my friends' daughter taking her first steps got me good - you get the idea. I was a wreck when I crossed the finish line at Disney - the video (taken by MarathonFoto) is not pleasant to watch. :)
That being said, I'm getting emotional doing research for the London Marathon. And I'm craving that feeling at the finish line.
