Calling all Princesses! (2014 Princess half marathon board)

Just finished a 9.70km run, a personal best for me! Did it in 1:02! I'm happy, but my legs are stiff!


Have a great day!

Great job!!

Thanks for sharing!! They unfortunately don't have any of my size included in the sale but hopefully some others on here will be luckier!! Guess I'll continue saving up for a full price one!

I know they didn't have my size either in the ones I really liked. I didn't want to buy for next year yet. Hoping to be in one size smaller by then : )

Are these pretty true to size? Or small or large? I sit right on the edge between two sizes. One would be in stock... and the other not.

Pretty true to size, if anything they may run a tiny bit on the larger size. For most of them, if you're between two sizes, I'd recommend going down a size for most of them. If you e-mail Leah with your measurements and the skirt you're interested in, she can advise you on it too.

I ran in a rainy cold local 5k today, finished in under 29 minutes and WON my age division! I'm not sure how many people were in my division, but there were at least two more because there was a second and third place winner too.

I've always wanted to win an age group award and I'm so happy I did it! I got a nice metal water bottle with the race logo on it.

Congrats! That is amazing!

I have been taking it slow on the running the past few weeks, because I had a foot injury. I got back to it this week, and it felt so good!

Don't think you can walk to the start from bwv.

Okay, thanks!

I just did my first long run since the PHM this year. I got sick and married, so little to no time to get out and run. I ran the Lake Minneola Half Marathon in Clermont and with 6+ weeks off with two short runs of 3 miles. I did surprisingly well, I got a PR of 1:42, weather was great, mid 60s, humidity was lower and windy.

Wow, great time! I guess the rest did you good. ETA: Congrats on your marriage!

The area beyond Disneyland is not the best - I've just done the DL half and the area seems light industrial in some places. Maybe someone more familiar can comment. Try using MapMyRun.com to create a course. Also, look at the courses for the Tinkerbell and the DL Half (look at RunDisney.com & look at Events to find the courses.) Both races go thru the parks - but you can get an idea of streets around the area. Have a great trip!

Thanks - I did look at the maps, and found a route that does a loop around the parks, just shy of seven miles. Hopefully since I'm making my DBF run it with me, it'll feel safer!

On another note (again!) I did my 10k today. While waiting around for the start of the race, I was pleasantly surprised to reach into my bag for something and come out with these



I didn't make great time, but still came in 14th for women 19-40 (it was a very small race) and got another medal and a plant. I'm 2/3 through my HM training for June!

Hey ladies I just wanted to share that I competed in my first 10k this weekend! I beat my goal time by almost a minute with a time of 54.04! I was a small local race, it was rainy and chilly but still a lot of fun! My DBF won the race without training, I hate him sometimes I'm training for my first half in July and I can't wait. I need to find some more local to do, I think I'm officially addicted I hope everyone's training is going well

Hoping someone here might have a suggestion for me. On one of my runs this week, I managed to step on a smallish hole. This caused my foot above my arch to collapse into the hole... With the full force of my running step. My toes were folded upward (think hospital bed where center stays put and the foot of bed folds up). When I was done with that run the joint leading to my big toe really hurt and felt "out". I made a gripping motion with my toes and POP. Each run since I has been getting more an more sore. At the end of 7 miles today I could barely put weight on the ball of my foot near that big toe. Stopped at the running store and they didn't have much in the way of advice. I did buy a new pair of compression socks where the compression Goes throughout rather than just across the arch.... Maybe that will help? I can't imagine a doctor could do anything for me.

Hoping to run the 2014 Princess Half. Ran the January 5K this year and then the Castaway Cay 5K since we went on a cruise following Marathon weekend. I saw many "teams" or "groups". Was hoping to join up with one of them for the camaraderie. How do I do that? There are three of us running me, my DD and my DDIL. Thanks for any info!

Welcome!! I know there are some DISboard groups and some Facebook groups. For the Facebook Groups, there is Magic Milers, PBRC (Pacebook running club), Run Disney So I Can Eat Disney and Team #RunDisney. You can search for any of those on Facebook if you're on there. I'm sure there are a lot more that I don't know of too.

Best wishes on your training!

I think you should probably see a doctor. You could have torn or fractured something.

Thanks so much for the info. I guess I'll hunt around. I met a woman when I was in line for merchandise at the Jan Marathon weekend and she told me of a group but now I can't remember it Oh well!

Need training suggestions:
I've been training with the Jeff Galloway app. I run 3min and walk 1min. My longer runs are at 4.5 and my short runs are at 5.5. I'm 54yo and the first time I've ever done any running in my life is the past 2yrs. I'm thinking I might be better off if I did longer walks inbetween my runs so instead of going 4.5 on the long runs, if I did 5.0 and walked 2min to recover maybe instead of 1min would that better my time/energy. I'm huffing/puffing at 5.5 with a min rest but 4.5 seems too easy but maybe it's best for the staying power??? Help!
