I've been so caught up in getting ready for the W&D I almost forgot I am registered for the Princess Half too! I was looking at all those colors posted yesterday being all jealous and just now realized I am getting one too! What a goof I am, lol!
I started today. I'm not so tech savvy, so still figuring out the app. It was fun and I'm extra proud of myself today. Even ran in the rain this evening.Has anyone started training with the Galloway plans this week? I'm using a 12-week plan, so I don't *officially* start training until November 30, but it's exciting that those using the Galloway plans are starting this week! Makes the race weekend feel just a bit closer...
If you're staying at Port Orleans French Quarter, you can join my daughter and I!!I am running the Princess half in February. I've ran many half and full marathons but never at Disney. In fact this will be my first trip to Disney as well as my family. I am getting really nervous about logistics to expo and then start line. is there transportation from all resorts on property? I will be going to start alone . Just wanting to know what to expect.
Thanks!
Thank you so much! I am actually staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge. I know I will calm down when I get there just nervous about the unknown.If you're staying at Port Orleans French Quarter, you can join my daughter and I!!

You mean the one I'm in right now? I convince myself that I'm going to run. I just put it on my to-do list. "Today I'm going to get that show off the DVR, do homework for grad school, and run five miles when I get home from work." kind of a thing. Once I start running again after a week off I get back into it but that first day it's a chore. As for the junk food I take that one day at time.Alright people, I need some encouragement today! A couple of days ago I drove 12 hours to get to my parents' house, so the kids and I could have some fun in CA while DH is on a 10 day trip with his Dad (my kids are on year round school and are currently on a 4 week break). I've eaten mostly junk food since then, and the last thing I want to do is do my 5 mile training run today. It's so hard for me to get out and run after eating badly for a few days. What do you all do to get out of a bad cycle like that??

I did my second half yesterday. I was 5 minutes slower than my first half two weeks ago. I am pretty sure it is because I have been lax with the diet. Too much junk lately. :-( I've been using the running as an excuse to eat more than I really should.
I've got 4 weeks until the next race. I need to buckle down.
3.18 miles today. I averaged a 16 minute pace with a bathroom stop, a stop to fix my shirt, and some walking. If I can manage to go the entire race without stopping for the bathroom, I should be able to do less than 16 minutes!
PREACHOr you can use the time saved from no bathroom stops to stop and take pictures with the characters!
you think there's a chance that new balance will do a Little Mermaid Shoe?
I do like this idea, as long as the lines are not long.Or you can use the time saved from no bathroom stops to stop and take pictures with the characters!
I think the longest line I have waited in during a Disney race was 7-8 minutes...something like that. They normally go decently fast...I do like this idea, as long as the lines are not long.
I don't wear make-up when I run...I sweat WAY too much for that. It would streak all over my face and I'd look worse than if I didn't have any on at all!So, I'm a little vain. I don't like having my picture taken when I'm not wearing makeup. I'm contemplating putting on all my makeup the night before and sleeping so I don't mess it up. That way at 3:00 a.m. I can just get dressed and still be ready for photos. I mentioned this to my husband and the look I got said that I was crazier now than the day I decided I could run six miles and was willing to spend a fortune to race with Mickey.
