Official 2011 Disney Marathon Race Photos – ASI Photography

Thanks to the lovely photographers over at ASI Photography, I now have a new set of pictures to work with! :0)  Here’s my “official” professional photographs from the Disney Marathon.  I’m sure you’re all tired of hearing about the Marathon now since this is the 6th post about it but I’m still excited and I can’t help myself! :0)

And they’re off!  18,000 runners….stretched back as far as you could see!  It was crazy!

We ran through Epcot the first time in the dark!  Very interesting! :0)  Something funny about the 2nd picture…I know the girl in purple…Courtney….but I wasn’t actually running with her!  We just happened to be in the same place at the same time! It’s Courtney from I Cano Do This! funny if you ask me!

Our first character stop!

Poor Bobby!  We just started and he already wasn’t a happy camper!

We loved the faces that Flynn Ryder was making!  He was so funny! :0)

The Fairy Godmother…I needed some Fairy Race Dust sprinkled on me!  Hehe! :0)  (That was especially for Heather!)

Last year for the Half, they didn’t get one single picture of me running out of the castle.  This time, I knew exactly where to run to make sure that didn’t happen again!

Not only did I get one….

74488-3107-028f

I got two….

74488-5070-009f

….and three shots!  I knew one of them was bound to come out!  The above picture is hands down my FAVORITE picture of them all!! :0)

Out of the Magic Kingdom….

74488-659-014f

…and Halfway there!

We found these guys on the Golf Course!

I still have no idea how Bobby got back up after this!  We were right at mile 18!  Haha!

74488-1914-006f

I totally didn’t see this photographer!  I was probably updating my Twitter or sending a mass text to my family! :0)  Yes, I updated Twitter the entire race! (See the bottom of this post for a full Twitter recap!  Hehe!)

  • This should be my last 2011 Walt Disney World Marathon post for a while.  I can’t promise not to talk about it in upcoming blog posts, though.  I will probably talk about this race until the day I die for a really long time!

    4. Absolutely love your pics! As I'm still debating half vs. full for 2012, every time I read about your experience, I lean a little further towards the full. Congrats again on a great race!

    10. I love all of your pictures! Congrats on a successful race. I am wondering if you can tell me what kind of training schedule you used. The farthest race I have run is a 25k. I am thinking about running this as my first marathon in 2012 an am wondering what advice you have for a first timer, as well as a practical training schedule.
