Great job! Seems like you will indeed be ready.bskelly07 said:I ran my furthest distance ever on Saturday without stopping, as well as keeping nearly the same pace the entire time! 7 miles! I averaged a 10:09 for the first few miles, then around 4 I started to bump up to 10:30, and the last mile I slowed to 10:54. But it was the first long run that I've kept each mile under 11 minutes! I'm so proud of myself. Bring it on Tink
Also, so thankful about the PoP stories and where real bathrooms are located. I'm going to have to bookmark those pages to look back on before the race. The lines for PoP are usually SO outrageous, and since I've never been to WDW I am clueless where to find the bathrooms.
I have used Enell and Moving Comfort Fiona. Hope you find something that works for you.ajbecker1 said:

There are a few 'well endowed' princesses on here that helped me find/test different bras. I'm at a 36F and found that Moving Comfort (style: Juno) works best for me. I also top it off with a separate 'two sizes too small' champion sports bra to REALLY eliminate any movement whatsoever. Some others I looked at that were referred to me on here were Enell, Athleta's Glory Bra, and the Tata Tamer from lululemon. Happy searching!

I've absolutely had two different pairs of the same shoe fit differently - I gt the feeling quality control ain't all it used to be. Good luck!
Fantastic!
Hooray!
This is exactly what I was going to post re: PoPs! I had a hard enough time juggling a Team Sparkle skirt, Spibelt and compression shorts in the TOT PoPs. That experience is why I'm NOT doing a tutu for the Princess.

I'mat the PoP comments - too funny! I must have freakishly good PoP luck, or my time living out of my car while following the Grateful Dead may have blinded me to the yuck, because I really don't mind them, generally speaking. That said, I'd prefer a real restroom, so I've been training with potty stops around 6 miles in. The worst time of "need to go NOW!" for me is pre-race... I'm really hoping they put the PoPs IN the corrals like they did for the TOT! Also, I found at the Jingle Jungle that having my iPhone lit up in its armband made plenty of light in a pre-dawn PoP.
Well, I almost made it my planned 6 miles on Saturday - managed 5.8. Very sad/frustrated/worried to report that ITBS pain hit at 5.5. No mistaking it as anything else; it was ITB-related all the way. I stopped running, walked the rest of the way home, iced, rolled, stretched, rested and I'll see my chiro later today. Hoping it was a minor setback and not another dive into ITBS hell...

Someone asked if a sparkle skirt will be easier: I think anything in a PoP can be tricky, especially if it's dark and has been used.(trying not to gross anyone out here) My biggest concern (and why I am seriously rethinking making a tutu) is the length of the tutu and how will I keep it OFF the floor while I am trying to pee. I "think" if I had a sparkle skirt, I could pull it UP on my stomach more while the capris go down. The issue is the mini tutu I wore for the 5k wasn't that long and it was still a hassle to pull it and the spibelt UP.
So, I probably haven't helped any, LOL! My goal will be to be able to pull up the top layer while only having to pull down the capris, which will stay at knee level while I pee.
With all the PoP talk I've got two approaches; I've shortened my tutu and I will be pulling it UP not down when necessary.
Bringing a couple of those hand sanitizer wipes is a must. I can also put a couple in my ifitness belt without any problem.
Who knew a Princess would have to worry about so many details besides keeping her tiara on
for those battling with injuries! Hope things clear up soon. We've all been working so hard for this!!!
I carry that AND napkins/TP/Kleenix/something. I carry in a plastic baggie so as not to sweat them beforehand. Nothing WORSE than having to actually give in to using PoP and finding out no tissues available. Ugh. I learned this from those who preceeded me. Glad I did since that trick came in handy for DH at a non-Disney event. (He refused to carry his own, he changed his mind after the need.) Being back-of-the-pack person, all the fasties use 'em up before I get there.
