Again, thank you for your interest in Caroline. Thank you for sponsoring us. Thank you for supporting us. And thank you for cheering for us during the race!
This past weekend was deeply emotional and physically challenging. It was also incredibly fulfilling.
(I'll have to write another post about Caroline's Disney World experience!)
Here are some highlights from the Half Marathon.

We walked a couple of miles to the start line
Arriving at our corral.
Amazing sight. 28,000 runners!
A few seconds from the start of our run. Lots of excitement and nervous energy!

Popular Disney characters greeted us all along the run. How fun!

It's really happening...we're really running a half marathon in...Disney World!
Running inside the Magic Kingdom!
I ran into my "other sister" Soojung and we ran miles 5-9 together.
She ran for her beautiful daughter Alice.
Miles 9-10 were the hardest for me.
I thought about Caroline a lot and held back tears.
