Official 2016 Princess Half Marathon Thread

[sperkins921]

About to see my last patient and then it's off to the airport. Flight leaves at 7. Won't be on Disney property until 1AM. Ya'll pray for me that there's a room ready that early. Otherwise, guess i'm sleeping in the rental. If you see a half awake princess stumbling through the expo- it's probably me. I'll probably be showering at the gym or pool if there's a shower at either at BLT. Red eyes suck. The struggle is real, ya'll. LOL

Just thought of another question. My husband will head over to the 10k after we start. Will the run disney busses be running after the start?

For those of you who either are not on twitter or just don't check twitter 24/7:

Have a great weekend, everyone! Princess is a really fun weekend ... I wish I could be there with you guys!

I like the shirts, but am not thrilled to have a pink half shirt again. I hope the challenge is navy and not black.

My thoughts exactly. They did the same a few years ago...two white shirts in a row.

Spotted at the airport in Charlotte. I'm guessing we're headed to the same place.

You fellow crazy runners can understand this. I'm checked in to the Star Wars Dessert party and I have my computer with me so that I can sign up for the NB virtual que at 7. Haha1

Safe travels and good luck in the races to all of you running this weekend! I wish I could be there and am dreaming of the day I can!

Completing my last minute packing and then it's off the the airport at 4am! I'll be a little sleepy but I'm sure the crowds at the expo will wake me right up. Safe travels everyone!

How am I going to make it through another day at work!?! Friday needs to hurry up and get here!

 

[rteetz]

Good luck everyone! I will be following on Twitter, Facebook and here having rundisney jealousy and withdrawals.

Crap. Was boarding my flight at 7 and totally forgot to do the virtual queue

Do they do walk ups at all that day; if you're a runner? I'm not trying to scalp; I don't really want to support that whole eBay thing.

EDIT: looks like per the website they don't do walk ups. Guess I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best tomorrow night....

 

[sperkins921]

Before the plane takes off- did we all decide on an impromptu Dis meet at Trader Sam's tomorrow or Friday (or both lol) or no???

I'm game....

 

[RunBakeLove]

Would anyone want these? I have 5 total, I think 3 orange and 2 strawberry kiwi. I got them in swag bags from previous races, tried one and wasn't a fan. But if anyone likes these... I will be at the expo tomorrow morning and could meet up there to give them to you. Just thought I'd take a chance and see.

I am in for a meet. I thought I read @Keels saying something about 4pm Thursday. Don't know who all was going. Things to do at home will keep me here until early Friday am. I will drive up then. Everyone I promise all not to wear the dress until Sunday's half

I totally forgot too! We will be back on Friday for the kid races so hoping l remember to night to sign up. Actually I'm going to set an alarm right now on my phone.

And this reminded me I totally forgot to pack fuel!!! I guess that's the best race thing to forget, not too expensive to replace at the expo.

If anyone needs a running buddy for the 5k tomorrow I'm now running solo due to a friend cancellation. I have no goals for time just goals for character pics

 

[Luv2Run]

At the airport waiting to board our flight. Just put on our magic bands. It's getting real, y'all.

There are a few gals at the gate chatting about the races. I kinda want to go over and chat, but I kinda also want to take a nap, lol.

We probably won't make it to Trader Sam's to meet up at 4pm, but we'll be heading to the Poly for dinner at Kona Cafe at 7pm, so we'll just miss you guys. But, if you see a heavily-tattooed and bearded Wreck-It Ralph and a tall lanky Vanellope Von Schweetz at the 5K tomorrow morning, that's us.

Well, its looking like I might not get sneakers after all. I was ready to go right at 7 last night. Refreshed the page and got the form. Then the form froze part way through and I had to reboot it. By the time I finished I got a return time of 1:30. I'm not going to be at the expo at that point since we have fp and lunch reservations. :-(

 

[beachta1]

Can't sleep... might as well finish packing now. I have a feeling today is going to go by reallllly slow. Flight isn't until 6:30pm so I have a lot of waiting time! Safe travels to everyone.

I also hope the tshirt is more red in person. I'm not much of a pink girl so I almost never wear my shirt from last year. My DH never wears his. I like the 10k and glass slipper challenge shirts SO much more :/
