Avenger's Assemble!

So I haven't posted for almost 2 months. Par for the course in my book. But I heard some awesome Disney news a while ago and am now blogging about it. But first a little update. Ahem.

 1) My first ever official 5k was a smashing success. I finished in 47 minutes, which is not an earth shattering number, it's not even that great of a number, but it is my personal best and can only get better from there. Also, I am addicted to Disney races. But more on that later.

2) I did it. I quit my job at the bookstore to go back to school. I am sad and happy. I will miss my friends there so much. But, as my roommate still works there as well as some of my best friends, I think I will still see them. But I will miss working with books. (However I will not miss some of the crazy customers. I'm looking at you Skyscraper guy.)

3) I'm not sure there really is an item of business for number three...I just felt weird leaving it at two.

And now on to other news:

That's right. Disney is doing an Avengers themed half marathon weekend party. And, gentle reader, you may or may not know this about be but I am a HUGE Avengers fan. (nerd life FTW) So, as has already been discussed. I love Disney. I love Avengers. I want to get in better shape. I think the math goes something like this (DISNEY + AVENGERS + DESIRE) - $270 = BRITTNEY WILL BE RUNNING HER VERY FIRST HALF MARATHON IN NOVEMBER.  Yes the price is steep, but that is for both the 5k on the 15th and the Half on the 16h. And this is the inaugural race so the medals and shirts will be hella cool. I'm thinking I'll run as a female version of...

And, you know, if Tom Hiddleston wanted to run it too I'm sure Disney wouldn't mind. Just think about it Tom.

Of course in actual running clothes, not some heavy metal and leather affair. I know what some of you are thinking. "But Brittney, he's the BAD GUY, he's not even one of the Avengers. Also, why not just be a girl character?" To that I say piffle, read more comic books. Yes, Loki is FREQUENTLY the "bad guy," but he OCCASIONALLY  works with the Avengers. (He is the ultimate in Chaotic Neutral) And also, so what? Villians are fun. And, the girl characters are not as great as most of the male characters. But that might just be me. My little sister is going to do the 5k as either the Black Widow or the Lady Sif. 

So, my question to you fair reader, are you going to be running this race? Registration opens up March 25th at Noon EST (10 am here in Utah) on runDisney.com but Disneyland Annual Passholders may be able to register early. I'm checking that site pretty much every damn day. And I have a feeling that the race will sell out fast. The last race I tried to sign up for (Disneyland 10k) sold out in less than a day so we only got the 5k for Disneyland Half Marathon weekend in August.

And if you will be running this race, who are you going to run as?
