THANK YOU

 

[Caitsmama]

syko - i was wanting to ask you - what kind of top is it that you are wearing? I saw your pics before, and loved that black/pink top you have!!

 

[WDWFAN9]

Love the logos. I haven't seen the one I requested - Pat in the crown and WDWFAN9 in the head. Thank you!!

I'll be signing up officially very soon. I just moved back to Central Florida in Jan and since I got a job finally I'll be moving into my own place. So tired of living with family and I'm excited to start training for the Princess 1/2. I'm waiting on paycheck and/or tax refund and I'll get my official enrollment going. I'll update when I get that done. In meantime I hope its okay if I lurk around while I get official.

Okay I'm confused I think this is the one next month. I'm looking for the 2010 1/2 marathons. Off to do some hunting and reading.

Caitsmama, you sound really busy after a crazy week, but I haven't seen mine either... If you get a chance this week, would you post it? Only if you're not too busy.... It was 2009 in the crown and Princess Tammy/Princess Kate in the head (one of each, not both names in one, tee hee).

I got my 15 miles done this morning, hamstrings were killer tight but so glad its over! I won't actually taper until next Sunday, still have two short runs this week and then the taper... can hardly wait though!

I'll try to attach pics of me in my skirt... hope this works!
ooops, never mind, I couldn't figure out how to do it

OK, tried again:

I tried on my running skirt that i bought last summer with the hopes of someday wearing it and its still to small(but it does look better than last year) So because athletic apparel makers don't make them for pooh size people I'm going to try to make one for myself. I bought the material today and i will let you know how it turns out. The good part is I'm only doing the K and should be able to train for 2 weeks in it before the race.

 

[DisneyMama629]

YAY! Stacy shared race pics! Any other former racers want to share theirs? It's very inspiring for me to see you guys in action, with the Disney landmarks behind you. Very cool.

Here are the pictures of my husband and I running the marathon this year. I was 16 weeks pregnant in these.

My doctor is not letting me run the Princess even though I begged and begged. My mom will be running her first race all alone. We were supposed to be running it together, but apparently running a half marathon at 6 months pregnant is not good to my doctor. I'll be there cheering on all the DISers though. I'll be the pregnant lady in the pink tutu! All my friends that are running the race are wearing tutus. I still wanted to wear one even though I can't run!

Hey Krista, thanks for sharing your photos. That outift is so cute, and you and your husband look like you're having so much fun. I was feeling pretty horrible after my long run today, but your photos got me excited again for the race. I'm sorry you won't be able to participate in the Princess, but I'm sure your friends will appreciate your support out there cheering in your tutu.

Monday Mixers w/ Team 'Ohana

I thought I'd let the Princesses know that Team 'Ohana is inviting their WISH family to come visit its thread on Mondays. We thought this would be a good way for people on the teams/threads to get to know other WISHers better. Plus, 'Ohana like to think we know how to throw a party and we always like new guests! The drinks are free, if virtual, and no one will tell you when you've had enough.

I'll post a reminder on Monday, with a loose question/discussion topic to get the conversations going. There's no need to stick to the topic, of course, as it's really your sparking, non-alcoholic but still intoxicating presence that is requested. So, if you have a little time for socializing with your cousins, please stop by 'Ohana on Monday!

We invite you to visit Team 'Ohana for the Monday Mixer! Stop by anytime today (or anytime, really) and say hi. The mixer starts here on the 'Ohana thread.

Our loose topic for 'Ohana's first Monday Mixer is "What song made you laugh out loud the last time you heard it?"

Of course, you don't need to stick with that prompt. You can talk about the last thing that made you laugh out loud, period. Or the Oscars, Nascar, Pixar. Or the meaning of life, the universe and everything. (Although we over at 'Ohana already know the answer is 42. You'll learn to love our geekdom. )

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

Good morning! Hope folks are over sore muscles and such. I did end up outside yesterday and just barely hit the 9 mile mark in 2 hours--9.01 to be exact. Looks like the schedule for this week is almost the same amount of minutes as last week, with the taper not really starting until the weekend--am I understanding that correctly?

Now, I had a thought about taper. And I am just wondering here. But, I am hoping to do the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati on May 3. So, our Princess can just be a training run for that, and I really should keep on a schedule for a full marathon and not taper until closer to May 3? Does that sound reasonable?

 

[WithDisneySpirit]

It sounds reasonable but I would cut back on mid-week runs the week of the Princess because the point of taper is to rest your body enough so that you will have abundant energy the day of the race. You will likely run harder than in regular training too.

I am pooh-sized and have the same problem. I bought a running skirt and because it is low waisted I always feel like i am going to lose it on the course! Not a pretty sight, believe me. I am also a golfer and I had much better luck at the golf store. I was able to find a golf skirt in my size made of a soft nylon type material and has compression shorts. Best of all, it has HUGE pockets for holding things which I like so much better than a fanny pack. I will admit it is not the prettiest thing, but I wore it during the marathon and it served me well. So you might want to check out your local golf store. I'm going to try to post a photo:

Thank you for sharing your pics. I love the Minnie outfit. Is that the minidot skirt I recognize from Runningskirts.com? When I saw that one on the website, I thought to myself, "That is perfect for a Minnie outfit!"
I don't understand, though, why you look so good in the pictures. You look calm, relaxed, non-sweaty, etc.... When I am "running" my face turns bright red like a tomato. I can't wait for My pics...my red face will be unrecognizable Maybe you discovered a secret, you have to be pregnant to look your best in racing pics...

GREAT pics! Pink is a good color on you. And I'm so jealous you have a Minnie medal... Now I will never get one

 

[Caitsmama]

Donna, i was thinking the same thing about Kris - those pics she posted, you would never have known that she just got done with 26 miles!! Geez, i look terrible when i am done, not a pretty sight! I am already concerned that i will scare off anyone in the same monorail car as me on the way back after the race! LOL
