Since I have never been, I was looking forward to going to the Wide World of Sports for the expo. Does anyone know why the moved the venue ??
I've read it is due to the Brave's Spring training schedule.
I am driving down Friday morning from VA and staying at BLT. Will there be a place to park if I drive over there?

Plan to arrive early. I think parking will be tricky!
Princesses...I'm looking for a running jacket with hoodie, (a must) that will hold up in the rain. Any suggestions ??? I'm not having much luck looking online.
Thanks
I found one at the Under Armour outlet that is a sweatshirt material hoodie, but they say it is water proof. I think this is the one I got (it is warm! I wore it out once morning to walk the dog, when it was 36 and felt fine, though my hands were freezing because I forgot the gloves ) : http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/womens-armour-fleece-storm-full-zip-hoody/pid1232480-462
Had the scheduled MRI and X rays today. I am totally out . I have a tibial plateau fracture. Ian scheduled to see any orthopedic surgeon in the morning.
I think that someone mentioned that it is possible to defer enrollment in a PHM to the next year. Anyone have any idea of how I might go about this?
Thanks!
I'm hoping you heal quickly!
Hi, ladies!
I'm so excited to find this thread! I registered today for the Disney Princess Half!!
I'll cut to the chase: I'm fluffy to the tune of about 50 pounds, average fitness level, and this is my first ever race!
Is this possible?? Can I do this??
I started the Jeff Galloway training program, and I can fairly easily run/walk the first few sessions of Week 1. But I only have 14 weeks to get ready. I'm not a runner...but REALLY want to be!
Can you ladies give me some advice? I REALLY want to do this!
YES, you can do this!! I was never a runner, but loved the idea. I was at WDW in January and after seeing all of the ages and body types of the marathon runners I knew I wanted to do a race. My DH told me if I trained he would send me back. I started training Jan. 10th of this year and ran the Royal Family 5k (non-stop due to a fear of being swept...I should have walked some ) in Feb! I have also done a 10K and the TOT race. I am signed up for the Princess and have plans for go for coast to coast in 2014. Also, I have extra fluffiness also, which I hope I will loose once I starte moving consistently again!
Princesses! This is a SUPER off topic post, but we've discussed other races on here, so I figure to take my chances with this one.
Nike Women is hosting an inaugural half marathon in DC on April 28th. I was signed up and chosen to compete in the San Francisco half this past October, but the girls I was supposed to go with - one friendship unfortunately fell apart, one found out she had a heart condition during training, and the other ended up getting pregnant! I couldn't justify spending 1500 dollars on airfare and hotels to go. It's eaten me up inside, because I REALLY wanted to do it. They choose who goes by lottery, so the chances of signing up as a group gives a better chance of getting in. Because if one name gets picked, you all get to go.
NONE of my friends here in Tucson are runners. I'm hoping maybe some of you east coast princesses may be interested in making a group? Or west coast! If someone already knows someone who has one and I could join it? I've ALWAYS wanted to go to DC and to participate in this half would mean so much to me! Registration opens on Friday I believe (from their Facebook). I'm probably going to apply for a group number either way, so if ANYONE is interested in joining a team, I would love you and thank you forever. There's no limit to how many people in a group I'm pretty sure. So let me know! THANK YOU!!
PS this doesn't mean we have to run together - once you're in it's independent. But if I get a group and we do get in, I would LOVE to meet whoever has signed up with me and give them the biggest hugs in the world, and I give nice big hugs !! Oh, and did I mention, instead of a medal at the end, you get a Tiffany's necklace handed to you by firefighters in tuxedos?

I live outside of DC and would love to run it. I don't know DC that well and it does intimidate me!
If I sign up with the group and they draw my name, I am stuck doing it, since they will charge my credit card, right? I don't have any running buddies locally, so it would be nice to have someone run with me in DC. I am not able to run now still , so I am worried about signing up. I see the foot Dr on the 3rd for a follow up. He has asked that I not run until then to allow the tendonitis in my heel to get better and for me to get used to the new insoles. I want to start training again, especially since I haven't done any running since the TOT.
