Hello!! Welcome to Day 16 of the Pile on the Miles Challenge! Check in below and let me know how you’re doing!! Today I’m recapping the Disneyland Super Heroes Half Marathon!
Today is National Fast Food Day! Question… Do you consider pizza fast food?
I’m going to take a poll on Instagram because I really want to know!
Disneyland Super Heroes Half Marathon
I’m sharing how the Run Disney Super Heroes Half Marathon went…
Running Costume for Run Disney Half Marathon
In keeping with the Super Heroes theme I dressed up as Wonder Woman. Some people pointed out that WW isn’t an Avenger… but I didn’t really care about making it an Avenger because I don’t know anything about this stuff and just wanted it to be a female superhero.
My costume was last minute – just like my registration! But Sparkle Athletic saved the day and gave me a blue star skirt that’s perfect for Wonder Woman!! They also gave me a cape! I love it! I’ve run in their skirts for a lot of races and they’re super cute and you don’t even notice it when you run.
The biggest hurdle in my costume was finding a red tank top. For some reason there were NO – 0 – Nada – ZERO red tanks at the 4 different stores I hit up = Target, Walmart , JC Penny, Marshall’s! I was on a wild red tank chase and finally found one at a little store at the mall. It wasn’t technical fabric but I had to make it work.
I bought gold fabric from Walmart and made the ‘W’ for Wonder Woman and glued it on my tank. Oh, in outlining the “W” with sharpie the ink went through and is now on my kitchen table.
My entire Wonder Woman Running Costume:
What being in the last corral means for my time:
I was in the last corral for the Tinkerbell 10K because I was only originally signed up for the half marathon and added the 10k a few days before race weekend.
At the 10k I ended up walking most of the first couple of miles – it was hard to get around people to run.
Finish Time for the Super Heroes Half Marathon = 2:01:07
2:43:11 – Gun Time
2:01:07 – Chip Time
Basically… I didn’t start until 40 minutes after corral A started. But that did allow me to arrive at the race a little later than I would have normally and there were no lines for the bathroom. Boom.
RUN DISNEYLAND – SUPER HEROES HALF MARATHON COURSE
Here are some pictures from the race – the first ones I took where super dark since the sun wasn’t up yet. Again – 5am start time! They are not messing around with that.
The START…
It was fun! I got to run in and around Disneyland and California Adventure! I got to run in costume and with a super hero cape! I didn’t fall! I saw mariachis. I met some blog followers! (Hi!!)
Disneyland Cancelled All Other Races in 2018…
In October reps from Disneyland announced they are cancelling all Disneyland races in 2018. Races in Orlando / Disneyworld will still continue. They’re saying it’s because of construction.

Pile on the Miles Check in Day 16! Leave a comment with what you’re doing today!
I did 3 miles
10,770 steps today. Nothing fast for me other than that I’m about to be FAST asleep!
8.4 miles with hills and friends!
I was a slug today! Unplanned rest day.
I did my hill drills today!
Swimming!
40 minutes of weights and some cardio intervals this morning!
The only pizza I consider “fast food” is from Pizza Hut and I don’t eat that. Otherwise, there’s nothing fast about pizza (especially if you are making it from scratch)!
I’m into that winter weather running here in Minnesota but it hasn’t been too bad (if you are used to it). I’ve got three miles and strength training after work today.
I *heard* that the cancellation had to do with the runners not liking that so much of the courses are not actually ON Disney property. So until they get the new “Land” is opened up so they can do more of the official course within the Actual Disney parksthey put the races on hold. But that is just hearsay from a runner I met that goes out to Disney World for the races there. I’ve never actually run one myself….i need a sponsor ($$$!!)
I run as Wonder Woman all the time. My running group nicknamed me “wonder Woman” years ago. LOVE!! I also got a day ahead of myself on the scavenger hunt. Whoops. I’ll do “fast” tomorrow.
Did a quick 3 miler outside with my husband this morning. Nice change of pace from the TM
Cute costume! The Tinkerbell 10k must be a fun race to costume watch. 🙂
Love, love, love the costume! Seriously, it’s better than my non-running costumes!
