The New *Official 2013 Disney Princess Half Marathon Thread*

[DisneyBoyz]

It's now official! RunDisney confirmed me for a corral spot yesterday! I had to defer from 2012 due to four stress fractures I had in my legs. When I was able to start back running, Endometriosis grounded me. Eight weeks post hysterectomy and oophorectomy, I'm ready to start back!

I've gained about 25 pounds since my fracture diagnosis, so I'm hoping my training will help in more ways than one, but I'm still lacking any energy! The only time I have to train is 4am. I loved it before, but now it comes too early...

Welcome Back!!! Don't think of it as an early run, just think its one more morning closer to the Princess!!!

If there are any Dooney and Bourke purse fans at the Disneyland half this weekend, my sister would like to sell her Princess run version she got at the expo last Feb. she never used it. I have it with me and will be at Disneyland until Monday afternoon if anyone is interested. It's the middle sized one. Send me a private message and we can try and meet up.

Glad to hear you are on the mend Nikki. Maybe we can do another meet up before the princess this year.

I did an unofficial 10k in my neighborhood this morning at a 2/2 interval and did 6.23 miles in 1:10. I'm very happy I was able to do the distance. I have a 10k in St Augustine the weekend before thanksgiving. I feel a lot better about it now.

Just signed up. Now I have this "OMG, what have I done" feeling, but no turning back now

Ran the Disneyland 1/2 this morning!! So. Much. Fun. This was my first half and my first Disney race. I've never run in a big race before and had trouble getting into a groove starting out - it was really crowded for the first few miles. Picked up the pace a good bit in the last 6 miles and finished at 2:19:30. All the cheering and activity along the way definitely helped keep me going strong.

Can't wait for the Princess in February! For those of you who are still worried about whether you can do this... You can do it! And the race experience is worth the hard work and effort (not to mention your body will be thanking you for all that training exercise).

Great time! Good job
I'm doing that 10k too! I waffled back and forth, because of our budget (didn't know if we would be able to do another weekend away so soon after a weeklong vacay at WDW), but there was a reminder on Facebook that the price was going up later that day, so I bit the bullet and signed up! I'll just take my lunch to work to save $$ . Now I gotta find a room in St Augustine that won't break the bank!

Just signed up. Now I have this "OMG, what have I done" feeling, but no turning back now

I did too! I think I sat motionless for about 5 minutes after signing up, just going OMG, OMG, OMG at my desk! Then I got really giddy and full of energy and I'm ready to DO IT!

Hey guys! Just had to come in again and happy dance! I was able to run 3.5 miles again! I got really sick this summer, and put on meds, and now that they've kicked in, I really feel like I can do this race and see it through!!!
