Official 2011 Princess Half Thread Part II!!!

[poohs4me]

Have any of you that booked through the IRUN phone number tried to do online checkin? I have tried a few times and it says it is having trouble.

6 miles today and I'm officially DONE with my training for the Princess! Now, I may take a short 3 mile walk one day this week if it's nice out, but I'll save my strength for park touring Thursday and Friday.

One week from now we'll all have our medals and be celebrating (or collapsing, as the case may be)!

When I woke up this morning it was snowing out so I am sooo looking forward to warmer weather! Anything above 35 degrees will be a heat wave for me. I am going to the gym due outside weather conditions. I am hoping for better times than the past couple of days. I figured out that Aunt Flo is coming to Florida with me and not happy about that. Any advice? I am newbie so I need all I can get. This is my first ever 1/2 marathon and I am starting to rethink it. My friend who signed up with me is now running the race and I will walking/jogging the race. I hope to find someone else at my pace because my IPOD only holds my attention so long. All I am focusing is finishing the race and that's it!

i am thinking of buying the "i did it!" t-shirt before the race. that way i will HAVE to finish. i'm too cheap to waste money by not finishing the race!!!

I want that shirt so bad!!! That and the Metal!!

I will definitely be buying the "I did it!" shirt... I have one from the Disneyland Half Marathon... I think I'll collect the shirts and pins from all of these events!

I called to see if there was transportation from the Yacht Club added since someone mentioned it a few days ago. The lady I talked to seemed very certain that they hadn't added the YC to the transportation list. Just a heads up in case anyone else saw that and was wondering.

Do you know how much they are?

Plus, there may not be any left in size after the race. I've heard several stories about people who went to buy the shirt after the race, and there were only a few sizes left.

Can't help you with this one. I booked through WDW Travel and had a tough time with online check-in. It took forever to do, and they dumped my special room requests. "We were unable to add your special occasions or room requests. Please try again or call (407) W-DISNEY or (407) 934-7639." Aaargh!

Well I got in 5 miles today! Granted, 3 on eliptical and 2 on the treadmill, but heck, that is the most I have done since the ill fated long run! I stretched the calves between the 2 and foot was ok, not terrible pain, but I always feel that stupid thing. SIGH.

I am happy that at least I did 5 miles! I will do 3 this week on the trail and maybe another eliptical run...then that's all she wrote, its go time!

Wow...Last Sunday before the big day! After watching and waiting to register and then watching the tickers count down, It feels now like it just flew by.
I am almost back from being sick. It really did a number on me with no energy, body pain and sore throat but I did manage 4 17 min miles today and without shin pain! I plan on two short runs this week and lots more rest and vitamins.

Yes I fear the sweeper but I am proud of myself for all I have done to prepare and for trying. If I didn't stick myself out there and try and then I would have 0% chance of getting the metal. I will be one of the slow princesses in the back but I will be giving it ALL I have!

So here is to faith, trust and pixie dust! And a little ibuprofin along the way.

I'm staying at All Star Music for the first time and the WDW site doesn't state if there's a microwave in the room or not. Does any one know if there's one or not? I'm assuming the food court will not be open that early so now i'm stressing about breakfast. I normally have oatmeal with protein powder and fruit before a long run, but looks like I may have to settle for a protein bar- blech- not my fav. Any tips?

Unfortunately, I do not. My parents bought me the Dland one as a gift for accomplishing it. I also ended up getting the pin they were selling at the expo and one of the jackets...

I saw that, but she was also with a charity and I was wondering if her charity was running a bus from the YC???

I did not pre order the pin and I think I saw somewhere that they were sold out. But they have jackets , shopping the expo sounds like its going to be fun!!

Just finished my last long run. Boy does that feel good. We are in the middle of a snow storm, so I ran laps on the running track.

Finished my last 5 miles yesterday. Made it just under 12:00/mile. 2 more runs, 5 days, and 6 miles to go!

Had a close call today. Went out on the icy driveway and told dbf to be careful. Then proceeded to fall on my butt in the middle of the driveway. All I could think of was not being able to run. Fortunately, nothing hurt too bad. Just a little sore.
