Official 2016 5th Anniversary Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend!

[kim3339]

Just thinking about this but I do have the green light from the Doc and Physio, I must set goals for myself this is a big one! I want to put in my entry for the Honolulu Marathon! Big jump from half to full but if I can commit to training for all those hours I think it will be fine. Checking on prices of condos for rent. This will be hard but I think do able for Dec 11.

I'm doing Honolulu! It's on my bday so I figured why not spend it in Oahu.

If your Achilles gets better, you should be able to run it. You have a great base and 6 months to build up.

After a very long work and life-related hiatus, I'm happily back to the DisBoards, just in time to get ready for Tink. I'm afraid that I'm well behind on just about everything from ADRs (which I just got around to tonight, so sadly, we won't be eating at Napa Rose this year...) to PoT...which I think I missed completely. Anyone know how to check on that? Actually, starting at the back may not be the worst idea, since I'll be doing Pixie Dust at 29 weeks pregnant. There's going to be plenty of walking if the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler this weekend is any indication.

Congrats on the baby!! If you still have the confirmation email from Active, towards the bottom it should show the info you submitted but not sure if it'll have the race proof. You could send an email to track shack, maybe they can help you out.

OMG -- the next month is going to be so exciting with all the updates!

I can't believe Tink is almost here! I ran RnR SF on Sunday and to my surprise I was less than 3 minutes from a PR! So now this has me thinking that I might want to shoot for a PR during Tink. But that would mean not stopping for pics which makes it a little less fun. I know I dont run disney for PRs...but if I'm this close I kinda feel like I should go for it. Ugh decisions!!!

My husband and I are celebrating our birthdays early we are in early Jan but our present to ourselfs was to do a full when I turn 60 and he turns 65. Little early but great way to set our goal. My girlfriend has told me about this one it looked so good I couldn't wait to 2017. I have rented a condo for 9 nights. Achilles is holding up Dr is getting me through this the PDC but promised Dr. I would take a month and a half off after May run. Looking so forward to getting my C2C medal.
What great way for you to celebrate your birthday!

I'd say train like you are going for a PR and then just see how you feel that day and then decide.

Thanks! I logged into Active and saw that it had confirmed my PoT, so I think I'm good. I may take the A Corral just for the heck of it.

I am no Tink fan...but I kind of love this jacket. The quote on the front is perfection.

("Laughter is Timeless, Imagination has no age, Dreams are forever" in case it shows up really small here.)

I saw those last night too! I liked the design too, and the Tic Toc one. It was a little simple, but you never see anything for him.

@kim3339 she always comes up with great stuff.

Patty found the course on USATF and posted it on her blog. We start at DLH now, little less park time w/no DTD. We run longer on Walnut now too. The rest of the course looks pretty much the same.

Weird that these are up before the Dark Side courses are (I know the Dark Side courses were in the Event Guide, but as far as I know they haven't been uploaded to USATF).

Less park time? Booo!! Due to construction I guess?

No Anaheim Stadium and lots of old town Anaheim. Very interesting. Can't wait to see what the 10K has in store. Downtown and old town Anaheim is a fun area - I used to drive it on the way home from work every day before we moved. It'll be a lot of fun streets.


Edit: I wonder if this will change for Disneyland Half too.

Dooneys! LOL at them chopping part of Tink's head off in the wristlet photo...

 

[Mimsy Borogove]

Hmm, I really like the Mary Blair feeling these elicit. And I'm so not a Tink girl. I actually like these a LOT better than the SWDS Dooneys. And I'm a Star Wars geek.

 

[courtneybeth]

Why are those so cute? Why do I want one?

They look to be Nylon... would look great to wear while watching Paint the Night, eh?

 

[Ariel484]

I'm a little torn on these - I won't buy one for myself because I'm not a Tink fan. I like the colors and the sort of Monet-like vibe, but I also think I like the smaller thumbnail version of the pictures on my phone more than the bigger version of the pictures on my computer.

In the immortal words of Cher Horowitz...in my opinion (and this may be a little harsh), it's a full-on Monet: "from far away, it's OK, but up close, it's a big old mess."

And I agree with @courtneybeth that they do look to be nylon (except for the corners, straps and piping, obviously). My mom will be there that weekend with me to run the 5K, and she DOES like Tink, so if I see a wristlet with great placement I may grab one for her for Mother's Day. Hmm....

I LOVED the pattern from last year's Tink bags, and I too am not a Tink girl. My love for last year's pattern made (makes) me feel super weird.

 

[Ariel484]

The Dooney Facebook groups are going nuts for this one!

 

[lurkergirl]

Wow, they look both like nylon or the textured leather, depending on the angle...even in the same photo. How strange!

I loved last year's, too! I think, for me, it's going to come down to what it looks like in person and if there are any available at expo. I'm not a "must have this merchandise" person (and I'm totally not judging those who really get into it), but if it jumps into my shopping cart at expo what can I do?
