I went for a run on the 1st that was supposed to be 6 miles and barely finished three before I threw in the towel. I have been feeling majorly discourage since and if I’m honest downright terrified of the race.
This morning I am happy to report that I am in a much better place. I’m so glad that I was able to read everyone’s posts about not letting one bad run get you down. Last night during my short run I was able to run for a whole mile and a quarter before taking a very short walk break (granted it was on a treadmill), normal I run one minute walk one minute. Not going to lie, im feeling a little proud of myself. Thanks for all the support everyone! I hope your training is going well and everyone is getting excited, I know I am!

Way to go!! Yay for getting back on track with a great run! I'm a 1:1 run-walker too and I found that switching it up lately to include longer/shorter intervals helped me over my winter slump.
My DBF (whose coming for emotional support) and I fly out Friday after work. We don't arrive til 1am on Saturday!! I wanted to come earlier, but he was nervous about work schedules. Oh well!
We'll then stay until Tuesday afternoon, so we can get in at least one park day on Monday.

Yay you are staying a whole week! I wish..
Last year I had the 6 AM flight out of Midway on the Friday and that Thursday we got snow, so SW canceled my flights. All flight the rest of the weekend were full. I had to fly to Texas then to Orlando. I got to Orlando about 5:30 PM on Friday. I said NEVER AGAIN. That is why I am flying Thursday if we get snow I have at least an extra day to get there.
I did hear that some princess's from Chicago had to drive to Orlando because they could not get a flight.

Funny you say that, I'm in Schaumburg for a last minute business trip and the weather while cold is beautiful. Flying back to PA tomorrow and then off to FL on Friday morning.
OK. I'm dumb. How do I upload photos? When I hit the picture icon with the little mountain, it asks me for the url of my image. I just have the pics in iphoto.

Has anyone made their own running skirt out the sparkle material? It looks like it would be a simple circle skirt pattern. I have some remanent fabric, I might give it a shot. I bought toule to make a tutu, but am not sure I really want that. Sigh, too many things to consider.

I'll get to WDW sometime the Thurs. before and leave sometime the Tues. after. (Driving from Tampa Bay area, so no firm times - I'll just check Google traffic before hitting I-4 and go from there!)When is everyone arriving?
My DIS friend and Tink & Princess runner Disneyland_Mama made one based on the Team Sparkle-style - it looks great!Has anyone made their own running skirt out the sparkle material?
I'm LIVING in Marathon Weekend weather down here in FL! And I can't lie... I'm looooooving it This Floridian Princess just isn't able to handle the chilly mornings. But based on my 20 years in Fl, I'd say temps in the 40s or 50s at race start are far more likely than what we've got going now. Even if it is like this week, trust me - it's not hitting 80 until later in the day; mornings are still comfortable and it's really the afternoon sun that makes it feel warm, so early morning won't be bad.Has anyone been following the Marathon Weekend thread? Looks like they're in for a little bit of warmer weather for their races this weekend. Hope we have cooler weather!
