    Official 2016 Princess Half Marathon Thread

    I called last night to check on mine and the gentleman I talked to said that most of the ME tags for that time frame would be going out last night and today, and that we should have them in 7-10 days. I asked why they're so late this year and he said that they don't like to send them out so far...

    This seemed like a good idea at the time..A Princess Half Marathon-The Aftermath 4/11

    I had planned our Hollywood Studio day for today, it had the best crowd levels for the day. I had great plans to try to make it RD because we really wanted to sign DS up for the Jedi Training Academy and of course do the TSM FP run. So, I told everyone to meet us at 8:15 at the bus stop. I got...

    Remebering Boston

    I didn't get to run today since we are in the middle of a snow storm, but I did wear my Princess Half shirt to work today. My thoughts were all the runners and families today.

    Where I last left off, we had just hobbled back to out families and our rooms. Our plan had been to get cleaned up, sleep for about an hour and then head MK for the rest of the afternoon. I showered, got dressed and then I literally collapsed on the bed and I think I was out before my head...

    Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can! I am not a runner, not at all. But I was determined to do it and I did! The C25K program is a great start. It really taught me how to figure out my intervals and how to train properly. You can do it!!:cool1:

    If you can, do it! A runDisney race is so much fun! And it sounds like the WDW marathon is making actual changes to better the race!

    Thank you :) Yes, those miles 8-9 were just grueling and seemed never ending. I was happy to hit that 10 mile mark!

    We had just got to mile 10 when I last left off. We were going under the overpass and so close to being done! Probably one of my favorite sights of the whole race was the army man from Toy Story. I have a video of him telling us runners to "Move it, move it, move it" - so cool! The course...

    I left off with my sister and I making the tough decision of taking our time and enjoying the race or pushing through. We chose to take our time. So pressure off, we passed mile 9. Then we came to Princess Ata. I love It's A Bug's Life, so this was a must for me! This line was actually the...

    There were just so many people and it was such a small area, there just wasn't enough room. The crowd wasn't so bad, it was just the way some people were acting. Frustrating!

    I'm not sure what was worse for her - not really training for the race, getting in so late, or being away from her baby! But, we manged! Did you have a good time at the race?

    We had just ran through Castle, fighting through the crowds. Next up was Liberty Square. We had to stop for a photo with Naveen, Tiana and Louis. Louis is my daughters favorite. My sister has that picture though, but I did get another as we ran by. Just after we entered Liberty...

    When I last off where we were passing the speedway. Mile 4 came and went pretty quickly. It was in this area that two things happened. First the course was really narrowing and it was getting really hard to do much else but walk. It was crowded and people must not have really heeded...

    I woke up on my own around 2:15 am. I couldn't get back to sleep, so I just decided to get up and take my time getting ready. I was ready to go before the wakeup call, so as soon as it rang I answered it and let Stitch tell me "No sleeping!" and headed out. Ready to go! My sister and I...
