Princess Half Marathon Weekend 2026 (Feb 26-Mar 2, 2026)

[Mr_Incr3dible]

My DW's company's conference is headed back to Orlando.... to the Grand Floridian!
I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to stay there, and now I probably will.
Even better, it is during PW! So now I need to try to snag a 10K or HM bib. So cool.

There's people in the world who would hesitate to go on a work-funded trip to the most magical place on earth?? Even if you're stuck in boring conferences all day, you're still somewhere more interesting than home

Hey running royalty! 10 weeks until Expo day!



Has everyone started training? How's it going?

I have, but it's going terribly. Winter came much too soon this year in my part of the continent which has made running difficult. I'm not a dreadmill girl, but I couldn't motivate myself to go out when it's already in the low 10s at the end of November. I still have 10 weeks to go though, not all is lost!

One would think, but she isn't as much of a Disney fan as I am, and she is pretty much an individual contributor and doesn't work with a lot of the rest of the company. So if two or three of the other co-workers don't attend, she literally won't know anyone there. I get that.
Me? I'm thinking here's our chance to stay at the Floridian and enjoy a park day on Sunday!
We'll see what happens.

Training is on hold until after Christmas. I had some minor knee issues in November so I took a break, and then the holiday prep took over and it wasn’t worth the stress trying to cram in running on top of it.
