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

[hungrygreenhippo]

The new running shorts made a major difference. I didn't have any chafing at all today. Now, all I have to do is figure out what to do about the bottom of my feet as they get tingly after awhile. I want to try the Body Glide on them and see if that helps.

I get a tingly feeling in my feet too! For me, it feels sort of like my foot has fallen asleep. I haven't been able to figure out what causes it yet. I don't think it's distance though. I did a half marathon yesterday (my first! )and my left foot was tingly from about miles 3 to 5, then it went away.

I FINALLY signed up for the princess 5k and 1/2. I've known that I wanted to go since September, but haven't wanted to give Disney my money yet. But there was a Disney rep at the Rock 'n' Roll AZ expo this weekend who convinced me to finally get my registration in. I already had a hotel booked - All Star Music - so now the last thing is my plane ticket.

At the expo, I also picked up a neat flier that's in the shape of the US with the word's "Disney's Coast to Coast Race Challenge" and a picture of the Coast to Coast medal. I have it pinned up here at work to remind and motivate me.

Hi ladies,
I haven't read through all the posts, but those with your feet going numb or tingly, it can have alot to do with how your shoes are tied. The Runner's World site may be able to help you. My son taught me how to tie my shoes in a runner's knot and it's made a world of difference.
Also, I contacted Rebecca at BondiBand and she said we could directly order the "Princess Band" from her at $5. She wasn't sure if the band was to be magenta or pink so I told her I'd check back with all of you. I was going to order more bands as well and she said that they would all be $5 . So, if you'd like to order, you can contact her by using the "contact us" option on the BondiBand site or email her directly at
admin@bondiband.com. Just let her know you're part of the WISH group. Shipping and handling is $2.95. I thought that this would be great for others like me who'd like one, but won't be going to the Princess 1/2. Thanks Christine for organizing this in the first place, it's a great idea.

::cop: <<----- DH watching me on the airfare spending....

What are your dates? I found airfare for my parents out of Det. for $128 pp non stop last night for March 4-March 11. It seem like you could get a great fare out of NY. Good luck

 

[Caitsmama]

hi guys! I will be updating the list later today! And posting the name tags!

 

[iceberg1912]

Woke up feeling like crap this morning so I broke down and made a doctor appt. I am now on a z-pak for a sinus infection and he said to scale back my training for the next 5 days so my body could fight the infection. I am still going to walk my training schedule this week but I wont run, I have a 7 mile this Sunday and I need to do it!

Wendi:

Feel better soon!

 

[DISNEYDUET]

So are we still sending money to Christine or are we just to order the bands directly? I personally would love Magenta instead of pink. I am a red head and pink it just not a good color for me but whatever the majority rules is fine.

 

[Hockeychic]

Hey gang, I feel worthy of posting now I have officially registered. It is up to 80% so didn't want to wait any longer.

Not sure if I am on the list but could you please add me. Staying with the girls weekend group!!!!!

Hey, thanks for doing that! I actually had it in my head that it would be a lime green band with pink tiara- where did i get that from?!?!? I'd be happy with either magenta or pink! When do we need to make the decision by? Ahhh i'm all excited again

 

[postesf]

For what it's worth, I like the idea of the magenta band with the lime green tiara.

Just let us know how it turns out and if we are able to order online. If so, will we need a code or how do we get the discount?

Thanks!
Stacie

Quick PSA!

If you booked airfare to Orlando in March with Southwest check your flight - I just rebooked my Princess trip and saved $127.50 roundtrip.

 

[joan4mickey]

Thanks Pat-just checked SW same price.

I'm to leave for WDW tomorrow for 4 nights and with Nana's death and then today school canceled (I think I have my DS's exams rescheduled for tomorrow-if that happens) I haven't done any planning. No ADR's, we do have tee times as that was done some time ago. I hope I can get a massage, but my solo to the MK will be by the seat-of-my-pants. I just want exams behind us and then once on the road to relax and let it happen. My brain needs to decompress.

I did get a morning run in this morning-5 miles.

 

[ReAnSt]

Is anyone in need of a room mate? I am still not sure if I am going or not but airfare has dropped. I would only be doing the 5 K. I initially would have wanted to do the half but then broke my foot. So I couldn't train.

Please PM me if you are looking to stay with someone.

Thanks!
