Loving all of the costume photos! Here's mine:

Nothing fancy, but it does include a tiara, so that's fun. I was hoping to do something a little more elaborate, but just flat ran out of time.

Is anyone staying at Pop?

Starting to get super excited!

I am at Pop! Your costume is super cute

Hi guys I just tried messaging everyone going to the Kona meet up but I am not sure I didn't miss anyone. If I missed you, please message me immediately so I can copy you the message of an idea I have. Thanks!

Yikes, here it is 3:41am and I had my first PHM nightmare! It was so real and I guess the stress has hit me. I haven't run since Sat, but I hope the body and adrenaline will kick in. Oh boy.

Got a special email..kind of creepy at first, it is from Taylor Reynolds
But it was about being a "Perfect Princess", the are 324 of us. It said they wanted to crown me for the weekend and a was a member of the "Royal Club".
So it was pretty cool..324 5-peat runners out of the original 6000.

Hope all the weather doesn't mess up all the travel plans.

Ohh that is so fun Joan. Please let us know how they treat the "Perfect Princesses". I hope you have a great weekend!

I haven't posted on here in forever but I've been faithfully lurking and following everyone's posts (I hope that's not creepy ). I was lucky enough to get woken up on Monday at 4:30am (as usual) by my toddler. About an hour later I saw the meetup was posted and after hyperventilating a little managed to get a quick e-mail sent in at 5:38am. And, I got in! I am super excited, and extremely grateful for this opportunity but I'm really nervous too.

As a socially awkward introvert, I worry that I'm going to be standing alone the whole time. High school flashbacks, I guess! Any advice other than to get over it?

I also wanted to thank you all for all the great advice, support and positivity you've provided here. Although I don't post much, I really have learned (and laughed) a lot over the last year!

I could tell you stories about my high school flashbacks that I have had this week. You will not be alone! I got into the meet up also. Talk about socially awkward I am going to this race solo!. I will be wearing a green sparkle skirt, I am short and not all that thin. See you there!!!!

Hey NE Princesses-- what are you all hearing about the possible storm this weekend? It sounds like we'll be able to get out Friday night, but I am worried about making it back Sunday night! If it's really 12" in Boston Saturday night - Sunday, I don't know know if they'd let us land at Logan (though we don't get back until after midnight Monday AM). Because of work, I don't think we can go to the race if we can't get back.... Aaaahhh!

I'm flying out of Logan Saturday morning at 6 am. If I am stuck I will be pitching a minor hissy fit (but not really). I really hope Saturday night means Saturday night!

Nooooo!!!! Sorry for all the princesses (and princes)that are impacted by this storm. You've all worked so hard and don't need this added stress.

I think I've asked this before, but maybe there are more people reading the thread now...any woodsy Princesses staying at the Wilderness Lodge who want to meet up for the bus to the start?

Hello to all... I have been a member of the disboards for a long time.... First time posting...so excited to be running with all of u very special folks...my family and I are staying at the Wilderness Lodge also... What time will u be catching the bus out? Safe travels to everyone and I look forward to the race weekend festivities... Regards...eldun8

I am not a fan of this storm moving through the midwest. My mom is flying out mid-day Friday and while I think her airport will be OK by then, I'm not so sure about the roads on the 2 hour drive from her house to the airport. Really wish she would just go down today, but I guess if we have to rebook her to Saturday, then so be it. Good luck to everyone impacted by this storm and I hope there are minimal issues with regards to it affecting anyone's travel. Hopefully everyone is able to get out ahead of it.

What is a "perfect princess"? Just wondering how you got selected. Congratulations and I hope you share your experience with us!

To all of the Princess runners and walkers

I just wanted to wish you all good luck at Disney! I have followed you all this past year. You have worked hard. It is now time to reap the rewards of all of your training. You can do it. I believe in all of you. Try and relax and enjoy yourselves before, during and after the race. Please don't forget to come back and post about your experiences. Take care! Listen to your body and believe in yourself. Vicki

The Perfect Princesses are those awesome runners who have run all 4 of the previous PHM's and will be earning their 5th Princess Medal this weekend! So wish I was part of that group!!

Thanks, that is so cool!

Running 10 miles outside so much easier than running 4 miles on the treadmill with my kids watching Arthur!!! It was either that or listen to them argue for 4 miles, but I'm actually not sure if I made the best decision there.

Can't wait to run outside down south. 13.1 with Disney entertainment will be a snap compared to that hamster-wheel, PBS purgatory!!!

 

[JoyaDelMar]

I can't believe we're in the final countdown! It seems like we've been training for so long I almost didn't think this day would come. And of course, I'm freaking out about every twinge or ache - but I'm sure Disney spirit will get me through no matter

Thought I'd share my Rapunzel costume with y'all. I played around a LOT with my sewing machine but I think it works. I'm still toying with whether or not I'll be able to bring Pascal.

I'll have my hair braided for the event itself but If y'all see me - please say hi!

Latest from NOAA

Saturday Night A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 65. West southwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming north northwest after midnight.
Sunday A 20 percent chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 81. North northeast wind around 5 mph becoming east in the afternoon.

Yeesh. Being from S.Florida running in rain is no fun. Did that a few months ago during a long run and had a mental fit at the 5th mile. Had water coming in my eyes the entire time and had to forget about listening to music given that the earplugs kept falling out.

And that was only wearing normal sporting running gear. Trying to imagine running in my tulle tutu all drenched in rain clinging to my legs...

I was soo excited after finishing up my Tutu over the weekend now I'm not even sure if I'm going to bother wearing it.
