Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, am I excited! A couple of close friends, the hubs, and I have officially signed up for the Expedition Everest 5K race in Early May at Disney's Animal Kingdom. This is a race that a friend and I have been wanting to do for a year. Unfortunately, last year, it filled up before we could sign up. This year, however, was different. Now, we are signed up with three teams of two- the Speed Racers (yours truly), team #winning (the hubs and our brother-in-law), and Green Goddesses (Melody, my sister-in-law, and her best friend).

It is going to be awesome. The race includes an obstacle course, scavenger hunt, and post race party at Animal Kingdom until 2 am! Race members also get discounts on Disney hotels and free transport to and from the race location. What makes this even better is that it is the day after the race is May the 4th, which is the best time ever to go on/buy all Star Wars affiliated everything. Eepp , I cannot wait!

As the Speed Racers, Darah and I have decided to go as the Mach 5. It makes perfect sense since we will be the speed of lightning and win and be awesome while doing it. We are still deciding the details of our costumes, but I will say we have been entertaining the idea of making these amazing hats. My random purchase of knee high red and white striped socks will also be coming in handy for this event. Ohhhh, I just cannot wait!! I will be sure to keep things posted as more details get decided on!

(P.S. here is a great video all about the race!)
