It's a place in line. I know some have a fear of being swept, but just focus, get in your training runs and trust your training to get you where you need to be - the finish line! I just hate to see people completely psych themselves out before they even get to the starting line. You've worked too hard for that! Okay, stepping down now.
Have you thought about lipstain? I'm running as Ursula and plan to get some ruby red lipstain so that there will be no smears or smudges. Also, what mascara do you use? I'm looking for recommendations on waterproof versions!
Yay for 10! I just got my first 10 done yesterday, and MAN I hurt when it was over!
OMG, come ON already with the waivers!!! Someone over on FB said that RunDisney would be sending them out "next week", which would mean THIS week now, so hopefully they should show up on the website pretty soon!
Thank you for your dose of Reality, Tinkeramy! Ladies, use the corral placement to fine tune your training. If you are in the last corral, use it as motivation to bust your princess booty! Don't resign yourself, redesign yourself and get that medal!Okay - here is my annual speech! PLEASE don't get nutty when you find out your corral placement!

Holy no cushion, Batman! I drove about 20 minutes to my fave park yesterday to tackle my 10 miles. About half mile down the path, I realized I never changed into my newest running shoes - I was wearing my "everyday" shoes, the ones that I wore in my first half marathon - 2 years ago. Booooooo!
But the thought of getting back in the car, drive, get the shoes and drive back was not tempting. Also didn't think the hubs would relish delivering which entailed throwing all 3 kids in the car just to bring me shoes. So, I trudged on. At the end of the run, my feet definitely felt the lack of cushion, but everything held up okay. This morning? MY KNEES ARE KILLING ME! Oh, my gosh - I feel like I'm 100 years old when I go up and down the steps. Won't be doing that again - ever!
Thank goodness I realized today that my ME booklet is all messed up! It only has me listed instead of both me and the BF and it has me arriving on BF's flight, which is wrong! They tend to get really confused with that stuff when guests on the same reservation arrive on different flights...
Had my post Tink massage last night...gah, that was nice! I'll be back to pounding the pavement on saturday AM, but still need to get with our trainer to get an idea of what my mileage should be up until race day. I'm getting so nervous about the weather...I really hope it's not too warm!
Anybody have any clever ideas for something for the back of my shirt that would be Belle/Beauty & the Beast related? I want to "say" something, but I can't think of anything this time
Okay, stupid question, since we're all talking corrals. I COMPLETELY forgot to submit a time for placement. When I first registered, I had never run anything longer than a 5K. But since then, I've done a few 10Ks, including one last race I have coming up next weekend, and I stupidly forgot about the deadline to e-mail a race result by Dec. 1.
Just to confirm -- I'm still able to bring my proofs of time to the expo for the appropriate placement, right? Since it's my understanding that they automatically put you in the last corral if you don't submit a time? I average between 9-10/minute miles, and this is my first half marathon, so I pretty much have no idea what to expect for ANYTHING, or how it all works.
Thanks so much, guys!
