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

[IMGONNABE40!]

Definate maybe on the POR meet. My friend Pat is only in for the weekend. We planned AK for Saturday since that is the only park she has not seen. We have to go to the expo Sat AM to get her packet, then to AK. We can go from AK over to POR...just not sure we will make 4:30. May be more like 5:30. AK closes at 5 that day.

Resting today... feels weird. I am thinking about marathon weekend next Jan. Anyone walked the full before? I don't want to sign up for the half until after I do the Princess Half, and then probably a full here in May... but the half will probably close before May. So, it is full or nothing...

 

[UP Disney]

I'll be there for the POR meet on Saturday night. I was hoping that's where we would meet up! I'm really looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can.

 

[UP Disney]

I'm thinking about the 1/2 at Disneyland in September to get the Coast to Coast. I guess I should check to see if it is already full. My plan when I signed up for the Princess is that this was a stepping stone to the full next January at Disney. I want to run a full at least once before I'm 50 (I'm 47 now).

What about a drinking celebration sometime after we finish the race? Where is that resident "drink expert" that we have on this board? We might need her expertise on this idea!

Ok, Thanks Tracy!

We'll say 4:30 pm on Sat. at POR food court (Riverside Mill)

As for a "post race" drink celebration... Well.. i will have to consult Shelley.. LOL
J/K Shelley!

I have no idea how i will feel after the race, as it's my first, but i will definately be heading back to my Poly poolside bar! LOL
Oh, wait.. lol.. it won't even be close to noon when we are done.. LOL ha..one thing at a time i guess, you can tell where my priorities are!!?

Hey, I resemble that remark! After the race I would suggest water. But after that I was thinking about heading into Epcot for something cold and potent!! DH brought up a good point about the buses being crowded so it would be best to go into Epcot to walk around afterwards.

 

[Caitsmama]

Ya, cuz ya know.. we won't just have walked around for 3 hours or nothing.. LOL haaaaa...

but, that maybe a plan!

Does anyone else not plan on taking off their medal for the entire time they are there?! LOL I am thinking i will be wearing my "bling" all week!!

I have a suspicion that I'll be wearing it on the plane home and to work on Tuesday at least!

I'm really enjoying this thread... It keeps me up and moving because, "I have to go for a run because I have to run the 5k because I already told the WISH people on DIS that I'm doing it!"

I overdid it with running on Sunday, so all I did Monday was my candlelight yoga class (the best!) and walked a mile this morning. I feel great now, so I'll be up and running again tomorrow morning!

I'm getting excited for the race... are 5k-ers allowed at the meet-up?

 

[Caitsmama]

Of course!!! Everyone is allowed!!


Oh, and Shelley, I don't have to take a crowded bus, i get to take a crowded monorail!!
And i didn't even think about wearing it to work on Friday when i get home, but now i just may.......

 

[Caitsmama]

Disney PiPhi, i do my yoga with candlelight too.. i agree, it's great!!! I try to get in about a 2 hr. session, (with relaxation included) once a week.. I love how great i feel after!

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

Any workouts today?

 

[UP Disney]

I rode the stationery bike for 40 minutes tonight. It was my cross training day today. Tomorrow is supposed to be a rest day but I have to switch Wednesday and Thursday this week. I'll be in the car driving home (7 hours) on Thursday after work so won't have time for training then. I'll make Thursday my rest day this week.

 

[Kimickey]

No work outs for me. I'm still recovering from Sunday. I ache!

 

[joan4mickey]

55 min. on the TM just shy of 5 miles

 

[iceberg1912]

We are also at Saratoga Springs. Would you be interested in sharing a cab to the starting line the day of the 1/2?

I will be there with my family, I think my dad is going to ride over on the bus with me and see me off.

 

[iceberg1912]

I did 40 minutes on treadmill.

 

[UP Disney]

There isn't a bus from Saratoga Springs for the Princess Half. There are only buses from 3 of the resorts and I don't remember which ones they are. Anyone else with the info?

 

[Caitsmama]

Yup, buses will be from:

All Stars (Movies)
Carrb. Beach resort
Poly

 

[Caitsmama]

Did 3 miles on the TM today, had to switch my XT day and R/W day.

Joan, great timing!! Geez, i am jealous! Took me 43 min to do the 3 miles - Walk 3 min. / Run 1

 

[joan4mickey]

Stacy With all that going on I'm glad to get my running in. I don't consider it training right now, but just a release. My two DD's and I are looking at a 12-14 min/ mile pace for race. You are doing a great job, keep up the good work.
