    Every year about this time, I start to panic about my training. I always feel as if I haven't done enough. Tomorrow, I am going to do 11 miles at about a 17 minute mile. During the week, I will do 2 or 3 days of treadmill with a 13:40 pace for 3 miles. On the off days, I go to the gym to do...

    I should have known to check here first. I just did an online "chat" with a Disney CM regarding purchasing the AP certificate and using the information to register even though the AP would not have been activated. She said that was no problem. I would be able to register. Now, I find out...

    Old Key West to starting line

    We have never stayed at Old Key West prior to a half marathon but always saw princesses walking down the driveway a few minutes prior to the start of the race. This year we are booked at Old Key West but I read that they are. Ot allowing anyone to join their corrals directly from the resort...

    Official 2013 Disney Princess Half Marathon Thread - Take 2

    Thank goodness for cloud Coverage. I was really worried about the heat and humidity. But it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I wonder if they are going to change the pace requirement. When we started doing this race 5 years ago, a walker could maintain a 16 minute pace...

    Princess 1/2 walkers?

    Did my last 10 mile walk. Kept a pretty good pace but definitely counting on adrenaline on race day. Two weeks to taper. No shin splints or sore feet. Will continue short walks and work outs. I need to stop worrying about the sweepers!

    Flying Pig Marathon

    I am thinking of doing it this year. My son says that I travel all over the country to do half marathons and one of the best in the country is in my own hometown and I haven't done it! Cincinnati is very hilly. I hear from friends who have done it that the worst ones are at the beginning...

    Princess vs. Tinker Bell

    DD and I did the Tinkerbell and the Princess last year to get the coast to coast. One major difference is that the Princess is entirely contained by Disney property, while the Tink goes outside of the property. So, in California you are going down business streets, etc. Both are relatively...

    I'm thinking about the pig. A lot depends on the new grand baby. When my daughter was pregnant before she delivered three months early. If this one comes on time and has no problems, I will probably do the Flying Pig.

    Princess 1/2 walkers?

    Another walker here. This will be my 5th Princess half but I get just as nervous as I did before my first one. Because I have gotten older (65) I am trying to do a lot more strength training, core training and stationary bike work. Today I did 8 miles with a lot of hill work at a 16:30 pace...

    Did my 8 mile walk today. Windy but sunny. Had a time of 16:20 minute mile. That was with lots of Cincinnati hills! I get so nervous every year about being swept. Hasn't happened yet, but I've moved up to the 65 year old age group so I am getting older. To compensate, I have been doing a lot...
