Calling all Princess 1/2 Marathoner's! Check in here! *UPDATE* PRE-RACE MEET INFO!

[Jyl189]

hey all-im up for meeting as well!
As for diet- i did change mine! No soda, lots of water, healthy foods. Got rid of the chips, cookies, etc. Salads, Special K cereal, pastas, Fish.
I am also taking multi vitamins. I figured all the help i can get!

on cross train days i use the eliptical or bike, as well as walk or swim.
I started working on arm weights and crunches. Figured the better shape my body is in for march, the better.

 

[postesf]

I try to do aquacise or elliptical for cross training...

I am also doing the Marathoning for Mortals Plan. I added a few extra weeks though. It only has you going up to 10 miles and I really wanted/needed to have more confidence so I adjusted it to add a few weeks and add a 12 miler in there.

My Long walk/run mileage looks like this:

3m walk
4m walk
4m walk
5m walk
5m walk
6m walk
7m walk
4m walk
8m walk
6m walk
10m walk
8m walk
12m walk
8m walk
5m walk
Half!!!

I do a fast paced walk and then at each mile I run 1-2 min. I'm hoping by March, I can run a bit longer and walk a bit faster, but the Half in January, this is the plan...

MEET QUESTION: Just to throw this out there....Since according to the Pole, it looks like a higher percentage is staying at CBR, would there be any interest in doing the meet there?

If there are already plans in place, I don't want to change them, just thought I would throw that out there...

I think this is the training schedule I will follow.. It is in laymen terms and is 15 weeks! I will also be doing light weight/high reps. The rowing machine also tones m and strengthens me pretty well.

Now.. for time management! I work full time, have a 3 and a 4 year old and I am going to nursing school!? Oh well, where there is a will there is always a way!

Breakfast today: Pineapple and blackberries and a small ww bagel.
Lunch: soup and sushi
Dinner: Shrimp, broccoli and rice!

if i remember CBR doesnt have a full servie rest?
i think its just quick service?
not sure if I remember correctly what they have for food...

 

[postesf]

CBR has Shutters, the sit-down restaurant and they also have the Food Court at Old Port Royal.

Here's the menu for the Food Court... http://allears.net/menu/menu_opr.htm

As I mentioned, Just an idea. If the conses is POR, then that's cool!

I just got my quote form dream vacations and I am seriously considering the 7 night stay! It is $1356 for CBR, theme park passes, $200 gift card and a few other little things!

How is CBR?

 

[Jyl189]

i found CBR a nice resort. Large and spread out, but the rooms were basic and comfortable.
There are lots of bus stops, and I would look at a map before you check in and request a room where you would like to be ( near the pools, or near the food area, bus stops)
I was close to a bus stop and that was great, but a distance to the food/quick service. If you have a car, great!!
it was also quiet there when i went (july)

 

[Hockeychic]

NEWSFLASH: At tehSan ANtonio expo this wekend, teh IDsney rep told me that they will be changing the Princess course to teh regular January half course. She said it ws due to all of the complaints that it ws a Princess race, but did not go through the castle. Just thoguht I'd pass that on.

 

[Hockeychic]

Thanks Carrie for the info!!!!!

 

[stenogoddess]

OMG that is so awesome. I was bummed about not going through the castle

 

[ultramickeymouse]

I just talked to my Disney source this morning and he said Disney finally allowed them to run through MK. They don't like events in MK. They have a meeting today to finalize the course but it looks to be the half course but still debating.

I don't know why they are doing the same race less than 2 months later??? I guess for those who couldn't get into the Jan 1/2.

 

[postesf]

Wow. In one way I think that's cool, in another...not so much. I was looking forward to a different course from the one in January, but was bummed about not seeing the castle at all. I really liked the Minnie 15K course and this looked similar. Epcot, boardwalk area, Hollywood Studios...Very cool!

It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

I do hope we get to see the castle, but hope it's not exactly the same course as the one in January.
