DisMom Princesses in training for the Princess 1/2

[TMcDwyer]

Sorry I haven't gotten to posting this. I have been sick with strep throat since Thursday. I knew I was sick when I was freezing and shivering and the temp outside was over 100 Antibiotics are a wonderful thing.

So I found a local t-shirt shop that can make tech shirts. They are Hanes cool dry shirts. They said though they can only do one color or the fabric will melt. They had a pink that was about the same color as the lettering in Taryn's way cool avatar. They said they could do that design (Taryn, of course if it is ok with your friend who designed it) but make the crown an outline and the letters whould show through as pink. Or if someone here is design savy we could do something else all together. They need a minimum of 12 shirts at $10.05 a shirt and a $40 set up fee. So if we ordered 12 shirts the cost would be $13.38. The only thing I'm not sure of is if NJ sales tax needs to be added (7%) and I'm not sure what it would cost to mail them. Maybe $1-2.

Let me know who is interested. And if pink is the color of choice. I can double check on what other colors are available. And if anyone has an idea for a design, please share it.

Count me in!!! She said we can use it. I can play around with it to make it all one color.

Awesome! Taryn, of you could make some adjustments that would be great. Do we want to keep it Princess in training or add DisCo to it?

Hello All,

Please count me in! I started running back in May. I did my first 5k on June 11 and I set two goals for myself -1 to run the whole race and 2- to finish in under 35 minutes. I'm proud to say I did both! clocking a time of 32.25. The next goal I set for myself was to run our local Freedom run 4miler on July 4th- which I completed in 42.23, four days later I ran a cross country 5k with my 11 year old son and clocked 32.13! My son clocked a time of 31.19 for his first ever 5K. He and I have joined a local kids and parents running club that meets every Saturday -training kids for a 5K and we can't wait to run our next race together! My longest run training was 5.5 miles in just over an hr and I'm planning for my first 10k on September 11. I've never considered myself to be the princess type though my favorite is Belle but I am totally excited to run this 1/2 marathon as my first and have been reading all I can about it. This race is my birthday present to myself and my husband and son will be comming to cheer me at the finish line! I'm debating between staying at a value or springing for the moderate and plan to officially register before the Aug price increase.

Oh, Count me in. I'm training for the 1/2 in February.

I've added you both to the main list!

It can say anything. What is DisCo???

Just booked our room for the Princess! We're staying at AKL Jambo Friday to Monday! Now I just have to register.

ColleenG~ I hope you feel 100% soon!

Good Morning!
I am considering registering for the Princess 1/2 in February and am looking for advice.

I ran my first 5k 1/1/11 (the hangover classic) and have since completed the "will run for Beer" (I don't even like beer!!) series here in.5k's were tough but I have kept at it, I am now running outside 3 times a week and last week did a five mile run in 1 hour. If I loose the 40 lbs I have gained since quitting smoking It probably wouldn't be as tough!!
Still sitting on a fence ..13.1?YIKES!!! Suggestions? Can someone push me over the fence?... one way or the other
PS. I am not a runner...Just an overweight 40 year old grandmother who was looking fro something to do with her time besides smoke!!! Good god now look at me..considering a half marathon.
BTW I LOVE The Princess in training shirt

Go for it! Most of us haven't even run a 5k yet, so you're ahead of us! I have no plan to run all of it or even half of it, I figure I will walk alot of it and run when I can. My only goals are to FINISH, have fun and get as many pics with the "hard to find" characters as possible... Um, and did I mention it is the only place to get a picture with Jack Sparrow!

Just do it! I have not even run my first 5K yet.

I'm in for the shirt! I am iffy on keeping the "in training" part, since technically we won't be in training anymore. And this may be a stupid question, but what is "DisCo?" Do you know what color lettering they have available? If we could do a pink shirt with lime green lettering, I think that would be awesome! Or even the reverse, since I'm sure there will be a flood of pink shirts. I would love for it to say "DisMom" on it some where.

Also, I up for a DisMom Princess meet either before the half or after!

I haven't registered yet either, but I have done 1 5K and have another one on Labor Day. I guess I'm waiting to make sure I can really do this!

I can totally understand!!

 

[LaurieG]

Thank you so much for all of the feedback, you guys are great! Certainly have put me more at ease..I just went to the web site and I see where it says you can register a 2 person team..anyone have any details on this? I could not find any? It's not a relay is it? I don't see a price break. Just curious.
Thanks again I THINK I am going to do it, I will defiantly keep you posted. I think pink shirts would be great!

 

[XIAOJIAO]

is a very good idea !best wishes for everyboday !do you know china ?

I think it just means you register together and get a team name on your bib. You both still run the whole way.

DisCo was supposed to be DisMom. I typed that from my cell phone and the autocorrect does some really weird things. The t-shirt place said they could only do one color on the tech shirts since they are polyester and will melt if they do more than one color. But we could do Lime green on the pink shirt assuming they have a lime green ink. So if we used the Mickey head with the crown that could all be in lime green and if the lettering is on the Mickey head that would show thru as pink. Or we could have the lettering off the Mickey head.

Go for it. It will be so much fun. You are already running as far or farther than most of us here! You could try doing the Bridge to 10K program. It basically takes you from being able to do a 5K and gradually works you up to 6.2 miles. From what others have said going from 6 to 13 miles isn't that hard. I wouldn't know since I have only gotten to 3 miles so far. Congrats on quitting smoking!

 

[TMcDwyer]

Well there is no turning back now...I booked my flight!!!

 

[ColleenG]

Thanks Taryn! You rock! I so want to book our flight while the prices aren't too bad, but not enough funds to do that just yet. I probably could use miles for at least one ticket. We are driving when we go in August so DH said if that goes well we will drive again in February. I would really just rather fly and get there in 3 hours rather than 17 to 18 hours.
