In 2016 Bella and I decided to run the Disneyland Double Dare in early September. The Double Dare included a 10K on Saturday and a half-marathon on Sunday. Both started at 5:00 a. m. On Saturday after we ran the 10K we explored the parks. My fitness program showed 37,000 steps on Saturday. On Sunday the half marathon took us through the Anaheim Angels' Stadium. We entered at first base and exited at third base. There were fans in the stadium. It was a nice touch to the half marathon. I was first in my age group for both runs. Bella refused to leave my side and encouraged me throughout both runs.
