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

[UP Disney]

Hi Annette!

I believe Vicki is doing it and I thought I saw at least 1 other WISH Princess reply that they were doing it too.

Yes, Chuck & I are doing all the extras. Chuck likes to try new things at Disney. We are doing the breakfast on Saturday, we are doing the Retreat (he is doing the ChEAR squad), and the party Sunday night.

I have decided that I'm going to wear the tank and shorts that I bought for my training. I tried a skirt and the shorts rode up. I may wear the skirt over my running shorts but haven't decided yet. I still need to order my spibelt. I need to do that tomorrow because we'll be leaving for Disney on the 27th. Woohoo.

Vicki, just remember, if you can't order your SPIbelt before, they are on the list of exhibitors for the expo..

Headed out for 6 miles today. I am doing 3 tm and 3 outside. It looks nice out but I am sure it is cold.

3 weeks from today we will all be walking around with our Inaugural Princess Half marathon Tiara Bling!!​

Remember as stated in the latest email.......

Time Change
The mice won’t be the only ones having a difficult time arising race morning. The start time for the Half Marathon has been changed to 7 a.m. But without chime of the Clock Tower to awaken such a Princess from her sweet dreams, you will have to remember that time springs forward the night before the Half Marathon. So set your clocks forward one hour before getting your beauty sleep!

I did my 8 miles this AM, I have 12 next week, then 6 then ready to go!!!

Is anyone going to the expo on Friday Morning. We plan to be there when it opens so it isnt crazy busy. I would love to meet others there.

 

[ghoulishgirl]

Mom and I are going to try to be there as soon as it opens! I, too, would love to meet some other Princesses!

 

[DianeL]

I plan on being there when they open too Well as soon as the buses start running.

 

[joan4mickey]

Wow, can't believe it's only 1pm...I've cooked a full breakfast, went to church and did my LR, 9.3 miles. I've set up a crazy little training schedule so that my girls at college can train some and still do lots of other things (and not just classes).

Well, I had DD wash her shirt, the one with the iron on for the race, and she said that it looked okay. Hopefully she will skyp me today so I can see it-I could always make her a new one. So, last night I washed mine and it is fine.

 

[iceberg1912]

Just did my 6 at 1:28. Now headed out to find a new shirt.

 

[acourtwdw2]

Wow after reading the accomplishment of eveyone on the thread today i think ill get my run in early and stop dis ing

 

[Caitsmama]

I also plan on hitting the expo as soon as it opens at noon.

 

[dsnyfan21]

Liz, Stacey, Kim, Brandie and I plan to hit it around noon on Friday. Just remember also that Spring Training is going to be happening at the same time so parking maybe a hassle. Should not be as crazy as it is in Jan. Princess I think has max number of 10,000 - Jan had something like 40,000.

Hi Princesses, could some of you post short reviews of the BondiBand? I'm particularly interested in your thoughts about the fit and comfort. There's a lot of praise for BondiBands on this thread, but I'm curious if anyone's tried it and not particularly liked it.

I have a really cheap Goody hairband that always slips. I think it's because my hair is so straight that there's nothing for the headband to grip. I have to pin it in place with bobby pins which looks kinda funny. So I'm thinking about getting a BondiBand but want to hear some opinions first. Thanks!

 

[syko]

I'm the same, but I want to know about how well they wick.
I wear a underarmer band and its fantastic, just not very girly.

Is this the kind you have? I use this one and it really does stay put. I also wear a baseball cap over the top.

We arrive in FL on friday around 2:00. I am going to hit the expo as soon as we get our stuff to SSR. So sometime late afternoon.
