Princess Weekend 2023 (Feb 23-26, 2023)

[jennamfeo]

My flight layover from AZ was in Minneapolis and I am so thankful Delta let us change it for free to a flight through Atlanta.
I’m also feeling extremely anxious about this trip because I feel so out of practice for a runDisney weekend.

I saw a leak of the challenge shirts on Instagram and I’m about to live in the Belle one it is my favorite color (teal) and Belle… my fav princess. OBSESSED.

I think our dis'ers need remedial kindergarten. First @FFigawi , now @lookingforsunshine don't understand the class assignment of 'Show and Tell.'

Now share a photo/link with the rest of the class.

If anything will be leaked, PLEASE let it be the character stops!

Updated pacer info with corral and bib numbers

ETA: remember, pacing is not an exact science due to course congestion and crowding. Some miles may be faster and some may be slower, but in the end it all averages out.

If this is correct, I'll be starting in Corral E, which is way slower than my admittedly pokey pace.
That said, a 3 hour finish is probably accurate with photo stops factored in....

FWIW, I hit Wallyworld tonight and scored a throw blanket and an outdoor pillow. $5 for both. That will be me lounging in (sortof) comfort on the asphalt before the race.... (in corral E)

i lost access to the pic before I could screenshot it sadly

Thankfully, the smoke and ash at MK cleared up around sunset

225xx.. I guess that puts me in like corral Z since I must not have put any time at all... Sigh. I did have a 52 min to 10k during marathon weekend, and a 2:07 half during the first half of the marathon... Maybe i can convince runner relations to have pity if I show them proof... Sigh, probably not

I am not sure how their bibs get assigned, but that chart was posted by Chris Twiggs who is the training director for Galloway training.

Didja tell her to come find us at HH on Sat?

I did. We’ll see if she shows. This is her first solo trip basically anywhere too so she’s also a little nervous about being alone. I told her a lot of people do these trips alone and people are friendly.

 

[HangWithMerida]

As I've been getting back up on the training plateau, I'm feeling better and with more energy. I tell people that it is counter-intuitive, but working out more makes me feel less tired and have more energy, instead of the other way around.

Congrats on your progress! I have noticed this bit as well. I have way more energy now than I did when I wasn’t moving around that much.

I'm staying at POFQ and I hear they have a really good running path.

It is nice. I have used it before. Pretty and generally quiet.

 

[DisneyParrothead]

I’ll show and tell. Virtuals have started and this was posted on FB for the challenge. Still waiting on the 5k shirt

 

[HangWithMerida]

I really love the art style of this year’s PW! The 10k Belle shirt is especially good.

 

[Herding_Cats]

OK yeah. Now I have regrets about not grabbing the virtual option. *sigh* Those are super cute.

I'd be in danger of losing my shirt if the daughters weren't already in high school or college.

Oh I hope they’re short sleeve (says the Floridian).

Oh I hope they’re short sleeve (says the Floridian).

For past races, the Wine & Dine and Marathon Weekend shirts are long sleeve while the Princess and Springtime Surprise shirts are short sleeve. This makes PERFECT sense that the shirts for the weekend in January are long sleeve and the shirts should be short sleeve...one month later. I wish that runDisney would make ALL the shirts short sleeve so we can actually wear them running.

FWIW I wear my long sleeve ones in the winter all the time! But I’m excited to finally get some short sleeves.

As a Minnesotan I LOVED the long sleeves for MW, I’m the opposite in that I never wear short sleeves It’d be cool if it was an option like shirt size/fit
