And Bella shirts are really nice! I've never ordered from this company myself but it was recommended with high reviews from other bloggers. Would love to see these shirts at the expo! Lol!!!

Also there's a few fb pages already for phm. Google them and you'll see. Phm and gsc specific. Hth!

I found a few groups, but are there any that are specific to this community? I don't know many names of people to know if there are.

Nevermind-- this is taken care of

BernardandMissBianca THANKS for giving me some answers! I've felt so lost! This whole thing is so new to me! I have to say that I have registered for the half marathon and now the 5k and my room is booked! So it is all very real now! So now I just need to learn from all you Princess Pro's!

I think the FB page idea for this thread is AMAZZING!! We always have a FB group for Disney Cruises and it's such a blast to get to know everyone etc, and of course easier access with cell phones! I'm not too savvy with FB but if no one else volunteers I'm sure I can scrape some kind of page for everyone. But hopefully someone with greater expertise can hook us all up!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful time beginning or continuing their PHM training!!!

Good Morning All! As you can see I'm super new to all of this (this is only my 2nd post, I just registered yesterday). I just started running this summer, and signed up for the 5k. My family and I have stayed at the AK for the last 3 years in February and I have always envied the people I saw running and getting ready for the Princess Marathon. While I am starting small this year, I hope to work my way up to the Half. Thanks everyone for sharing, I am super excited!!!

Way to go.

You'll have no problem working up the 1/2 for next year. I started in Feb 2012, and ran the princess in 2013. This year I did the WDW Marathon weekend 1/2, and next year (2015) I'm doing the Glass Slipper.

my first was the ToT 10 miler in 2012

Lets just hope the 2015 Princess is cooler than that ToT run was. I could NOT believe the heat.

omgosh you are not kidding, a 10 miler should have taken me 1 hour and 45 mins on my best time, but that humidity was a killer took me over 2 hours but then again I was doing it for fun not a PR

And then on top of that, WHO thought it was a good idea to have bag pickup on the Indy Stage? So I run 10miles in the heat, ride ToT, then I have to TREK across the park and down to and back up from the stage?

When I walk past TSM I still remember running though there and them having the doors wide open and the A/C Cranked blowing out..

Introducing myself... This is my 4th runDisney race and my FIRST Princess!! I'm so excited! I'll be there with my DSis, DCousin and DMom (first half marathon for her). It took us over an hour to get everyone registered when it opened, but we all got in, which I'm really pumped about since I was afraid we wouldn't all get in.

I just joined the Facebook group as well. Does anyone know if Disney will offer discounted park tickets with the Princess? We've always been able to buy discounted tix for the Wine and Dine and I'm hoping we will get a code to go online and get discounted tix for this race, too. I may end up with an AP since our family is going to WDW at least twice this next year, but I will probably start with just a 2-day ticket and upgrade once I'm there.

Thanks for putting this together!!! Just asked to join!! Getting so excited! On one hand I wish the race was sooner (can't contain my inner child) but on the other hand I don't wanna lose the training time! Ahhh!

That is sooo amazing! Congrats and welcome to the madness! The 5k is a great starting point! Plus I've been hearing that the 5k will be a Frozen theme! http://www.runnerstrials.com/2014/07/15/its-princess-day/

Happy Running Ladies! It's great weather here in MD, hope it is the same for you!
