I got an email back from Disney re: my finish time and why it was not recorded:

I do not have a finish time recorded for you, since it appears that you finished after the timing system was shut down.  We allow 3 hours and 30 minutes (plus the time it takes for the last person to cross the start line) to finish the half marathon and get a recorded finish time/certificate.  Thus, the timing system was shut down at 3:58:00.

I won't receive a finisher's certificate. :(   Oh, it's on now!!!! I'm running Long Beach!!!!!!

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

Come on, girlfriend!  Get a result for LB!  Keep doing your long runs between now and 1 week prior to Long Beach.  Don't miss. You can do it.

That sucks!  Now that you mention it....I never even got a finisher's certificate for last year!  LOL  But hey...at least you got your medal.  I'll take the medal over the time anytime (as a matter of fact I have a finish time for SD Rock N Roll but Kevin has the medal...then again...he's the one who actually ran it!  LOL)

Well.....YOU can figure out your time!  According to my official time and finish line photo's...it took 12 1/2 minutes for us to cross the start line.  So...take your finish line photo minus 12 1/2 minutes and you've got your time.  :-)

I wore my bling the whole day on Sunday. I would have worn it work if I had a dress to match it. :)

Hey you,

Congrats on doing the Disney half marathon!  I want to do it next year.  I found out too late they were having but I did finish my first 5k and came in 3rd in my division.  So what was it like?  I had my surgery in December 2007 and I've lost 130 pounds.  I've been running for over 4 months now and run everyother day at 4 miles.  I can't wait to do the Disney run next year.  And....good luck on the Long Beach run.
