Lesson from the Half

The bad thing about Disney half-marathons is that they start at 6am so you have to get up really early. The good thing about Disney half-marathons is that they start at 6am so by the time you're done, you have the whole day ahead of you to recover (if you need it).

The bad thing about Disney half-marathons is that there are a lot of people in front of you. The good thing about Disney half-marathons is that there are a lot of people in front of you to catch up with and pass, to keep you on a good pace.

The bad thing about Disney half-marathons is that there are a lot of people behind you to catch up with you and pass you. The good thing is that there are a lot of people behind you so that you probably won't be the last one in.

So I guess the lesson is that there are usually good and bad things to every situation, if you really think about it hard enough. It sometimes just takes awhile to find the good part.
