Official 2014 Tinker Bell Half Marathon

[regul8ter18]

I know where you are! I am in the southburbs. Small town, I am about an hour drive from Fox Valley Mall



I have spent plenty of money at that mall.

Are you running any races in the area this summer.

Well Congrats, What a way to end your single life LOL!!
for me doing the princess is stressfull enough, then your getting married the next day. WOW!

We were considering the same day because yes I'm that insane. Fiance's idea he knows me I run my stress out. As is I'm hoping I can swim the morning of the wedding or something or I'll run a 3rd day straight :/. My daughter, fiance, and I will do the 5k on the 22nd. My cousin, bridesmaid, and I will do the 13.1 on the 23rd. Only I am going to Tink so thats why its my last single hoorah. I know I party all wrong I should drink and get strippers instead but DL and running seems better.

Heh but I'm not just a tink diser I'm a C2C Bride! This is my last HOORAH as a single lady , I get married at WDW the 24th of Feb the day after DPH

Yeah !!! You will love your C2C medal--and this special clanking sound it makes with your other medal. Beware you might not want to take it off...and you will be clanking down the aisle.

Cant make plane reservations yet, but I've got Stovalls as well - Friday thru Tuesday!

Where is everyone in their training? I'm just at the point of walking 3-4 miles several days a week. I know I have plenty of time, and plan to just get a good walking base thru the Texas heat of August, then add 2 miles more each month after that.

Congrats on the upcoming wedding Pixie - what a great time in your life - and you're combining those things that mean so much to you!

HAHAHA I'm actually planning on getting a photo of me in my dress, running shoes, and all 3 medals as one of the wedding photos, and one of me with my bridesmaid with our medals and shoes.

Unfortunatly for bridesmaid she gets a shirt that says "Disney Bridesmaid" on the front and "Crap Have you seen the bride? Chasing the Bride to the Altar"

My shirt will say "Disney Bride" and on the back "Running Coast 2-19-14 to coast 2-23-14 to the Altar 2-24-14" I'm trying to figure out if I can run with a bird cage veil or if I'll fall on my klutz face

These will go on the amassing wall of shinies at home too

That sounds PERFECT !!!!!! If I can run each year in Tink wings, tiara and a tutu a simple veil sounds like a piece of cake. At Princess 1/2 this year I actually saw a girl wearing a veil so I say go for it.

This year I did Tink and Princess and have not run since Princess several wks ago. Just wanted to take a little time off and work on/do some cross training. Planning to get outside and do 5 miles in on Sunday while I continue to cross train and use our TM for shorter runs during the wk. After Princess I really wanted to miss running and I'm back at that point. I'm really looking for a good training program for speed improvement.

I think this is awesome, way better than strippers!

I know I can't wait !!!!! I love the spring flowers at the park and getting the handmade Easter Eggs isn't too bad either. With the nice weather we've had over the weekend I was really trying to "work in" a quick overnight trip too...but DH was not feeling it...so I'll just have to wait a little longer.

Ooohhh! Handmade eggs, what are those? Sorry about the overnight trip not working out. If I still had my AP I would have totally gone down with you!

That's something I would have done!!

Handmade eggs are the best !!! Sort of like the eggs you can pick up at Sees but better like only DL can do.
Not having a extra trip right now --that's ok...I only have to wait 4 1/2 more wks before the next one. (Not that I'm counting)
Boy I wish you still had your AP too--you might be the only one I know that would spend all night driving to make it to the park for opening. (Besides myself)

I just booked two rooms at Stovall's!!! There are 5 of us right now. A couple more are considering joining us. I'm going to tell them they better make up their mind or the hotel may be sold out.

Do you think they will give us a problem if one room has 3 people?

 

[VickiHD]

Do you think they will give us a problem if one room has 3 people?

No--there should not be a issue.

We booked for 5 people also with 3 in one room and there was no issues.

I'm in for Tink! Travelling with 2 sole sisters and then running Princess for my C2C. Just wrote a blog post about my new goals: www.2princessesontherun.wordpress.com

Looking forward to getting to know everyone. This will be my first time at Disneyland so I'm sure I'll need lots of tips as the year goes on!

As of now, I'm in for Tink. I'm already active on the Tink thread on the DL board, but just spent the last day reading this whole thread and LOVING the energy and enthusiasm over here!

(Hi Kim, Indygirl and Patty! )

I ran Tink this last January, my first 1/2. I am not a runner and am overweight, and in July last year I talked myself into registering with my sister as a team. I started training by following a C25K and then segued into the Galloway Tink program. My first race was a 5k in September, then I ran a 10k in October, then Tink. I finished! I didn't do anything for 2 months or so, and then last weekend I ran another 5k and PRed.

Last year I traveled solo (although my sister met me in Anaheim), and I stayed at Stovalls. I liked it enough I just booked it again for 2014. The location (for the price) can not be beat!!

However, for 2014, I'm thinking about inviting my DH and DD (who will be 4) along. If I do, I'm thinking about booking PPH.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Starting to think about this race and getting excited. It will be a C2C race for us, too. 6 of us running and staying at The Grand Cal. (2BR on the DVC side.)

It is going to be awesome walking around DL with both the Tink medal and the C2C medal! Must-have bling!
