Disneyland 5K

(First off, I have to apologize for my very limited posting. I got caught in that place where you want to say so much but don't have the time/focus so you don't say anything but then you find more that you want to say but still don't have time. Circle of life. So my solution is going to be to get some quick, simple updates out there. I may go a little out of order. "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause and effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly time-y wimey stuff.")

So I ran a Disneyland 5K last weekend that was Cars Land themed. Okay, by ran, I mean mostly walked. There were a lot of people and the route wasn't the widest (think Main Street, USA). But it was a fun run and everyone was in a good mood. They had a lot of fun things on the side like cars characters to take pictures with and cast members dressed as mechanics cheering us on. We started at Mickey and Friends parking structure, ran the tram route, went behind the scenes a little, entered the park by Pooh Mountain, ran around the Rivers of America, backwards through the castle, around the Matterhorn, through Tomorrowland, took a stroll down Main Street, crossed over into California Adventure, around Grizzly Peak, circled Paradise Pier, and ended in Cars Land. Now that you are thoroughly impressed by my Disney knowledge, here are some Instagrams.
