Team HoneyRock

Becki Henderson--Administrative Assistant

This past Sunday morning, while the rest of HoneyRock slept,
my sister, Liz, and I were wide awake and walking toward the starting line for
the Second Annual Disney’s Princess Half Marathon in Orlando, Florida.  When we registered for the race back in
December, we registered as a team with the intention of naming ourselves “Sisters
Henderson.”  Unfortunately, there was
only room for 11 letters, so after asking John Vandervelde if it was OK with
him, we named ourselves Team “HoneyRock.”

 The race started at 6am (EST) right outside of EPCOT and
headed up the highway toward the Magic
Kingdom.  We entered the Magic
Kingdom, ran down Main
Street, USA, took a right
into Tomorrowland, raced through Fantasy
Land and then went
through Cinderella’s castle.  Then off to
Frontierland, out of the Magic
Kingdom and back on the
highway to return to EPCOT.

 

We finished the race within our goal time, which we were
very pleased with, considering we stopped multiple times en route to take
pictures with pirates and Disney princes and Peter Pan and Wendy (just to name
a few.)

We came in around 5,894 and 5,895 of the over 10,000 women
that completed the race.  A respectable
finish for Team HoneyRock!  Liz and I
would like to thank everyone at HoneyRock for being so supportive and excited
for us during our training.
