Official 2011 Princess Half Thread Part II!!!

[jennwdw]

Oh boy this made my night. I'm 5034. So how many corrals were there last year - what letter did they go to? And how many runners were there?

 

[disneyaway]

I am excited to get the waiver-- although it is making me more nervous! I am bib 8780 so I am guessing towards the back, although I do have a 10k planned for next weekend, so hopefully that could bump me up a little.

Quick expo question: can I pick up DD4's race stuff for the kids' race or does she have to be there? I was planning on having her and DH go to AK so they would have fun and I could browse around and shop in peace.

This years program says F. I *think* last year went to E but I wasn't there, just what I heard.

 

[Disfan11]

I'm #886.
My niece is around 1,400.
Will we be able to hang out for very long before the start of the race?

I'm very excited that we are so close to the run.
But I have to fly to Japan on Sunday and do some of my training over there for a week. I get to run along the river in Kyoto so the view is nice!

Keep the positive thoughts going!

hey everyone! i've only done 2 short runs since i came back from disney. both were 4 miles. it's raining/hailing right now so i won't get out til tomorrow.

i think i might do a 6 miler, 8 miler, then 10 miler in these next three weekends.

looked up the bib number too: 8103. think that's in the last corral?

at first i was all worked up about the corral placement but now i'm just trying to relax. i'm not going to finish this thing in any sort of record time. in fact, i'm just looking to FINISH! so who cares what corral i'm in? during my long runs i tend to be at like a 11:30 min/mile which should give me plenty of time to finish and not get swept even if i need to stop or walk or something.

it's getting close!

oh, and not sure if anyone remembers but i was supposed to do this with my friend and she, well, had a nervous breakdown. divorcing her husband, had an affair, and stopped contacting me. last week she FINALLY emailed me this looooooong thing about how sorry she is and blah blah. i canceled her flight ressie (i was paying for it) and so i really don't think she can come to the race. whatever. i'm ok with being solo. running for me is a solo thing anyway. nobody can run it for me! i haven't called her yet. but, i will today. sounds like she needs a friend.

Woohoo! Bib# 858. Makes me feel like a rockstar...or a Kenyan

Does anyone know about how many princesses are in each corral?

 

[hvivona]

Bib # is 2569 Does that mean I'll be in one of the earlier corrals?

 

[sabnrob06]

My number is in the 14,000 and my two friends I signed up with are in the 8000 & 9000. Does that mean we will be in seperate corrals?? We are doing this as a girls weekend and wanted to donthenrace all together. Im a little upset at the thought that we might be separated.

Last year I was 2698 and in Coral B
This year my # is 3702

Speculation...6 corrals, 12,000 runners =2000 per corral

You can move back a corral or more to be together. You just can't move up

You might be. But they can start back in your corral with you- you just can't move up to their corral. So it could still be done together!

I would think if there are 14000 bibs out there, then someone with an 8000 number is probably still going to be in D or E corral, not F. That's a total guess though!

Mine is in the 4000s. Yahooo! I need to start early for a variety of reasons- lol- so this is making me happy.

LMAO about who said they felt like a Kenyan---- LOVE IT!!! May we all feel like Kenyans on that day--- run/walk like the wind, Bullseye!

 

[Belle&Boys]

I'm 5454. I should be close to where you are

Yay! I'm 5917, so maybe I'll be close to you both!

 

[MeredithRX]

I've seen numbers in the upper 14,000s, and quite a few in the 13s (like myself), so I'm assuming there will be a large back corral. I haven't seen any 10s, or 11s yet though.

My little sister has an 11000 number. She signed up in early Nov and put in an estimated time to finish of 3 hrs I think. She does not have a race to use to bump her up.

 

[v22wifey]

I got 10454 and my friend got 10448 We might be towards the back, but now I don't feel any pressure to haul butt during the race, lol. I imagine we'll be moving up as we go since we've been running about an 11:30 min mile lately.

Glad to hear she finally reached out to you to apologize. Sounds like her life is a mess and she could use a friend. You are a good person to call her, even though I can only imagine how disappointed you are with the situation.

I know you are going to have a wonderful experience! Only 3 more weeks!

I'm #3184 for the 1/2 and 1814 for the 5k!
Did the princess have runner tracking during the 1/2 last year for family to get text updates? If they are having that for the princess, when would that be available?

 

[stitchfan18]

Never mind, I just went on the website and saw it...

I am sure you will do great!

Good to hear your friend finally contacted you. Sounds like she has some issues that well made her ashamed to contact you. Its very nice of you to contact her back as she is obviously a mess and dealing with some stuff. You are a good friend and a decent person to call her back, many would just say forget you.

 

[schmass]

I'm number 2233 - having a number makes it so much more real!

Today I need to do my last long run (12-13 miles), and then I'll be ready for the race. Unfortunately I will need to do this run on the treadmill, since it is way too icy outside. Hopefully I can entertain myself for the 2+ hours this is going to take!
