Every single one of my classes either has a lab or a significant service learning component or both. 
Any last minute tips for running at Disney? We'll be at POR then BWI. I've been doing 3 mile runs, waiting until after vacation to start upping the distances.I'm not sure that the issue is certification, but "proof" somewhere about the time. So if your club is doing a run but they don't have timing- I'm not sure it would be accepted. I have heard stories of runs where you hear your time called out as you cross the finish, then go over to a table and have someone record it. Would this work? I dunno. It might be perfectly acceptable.
I really have NO idea how much checking rundisney does with corral times. I assume not too much to be honest based on some past experiences--- when my friend had to change her time for her corral at the expo, they just looked at the printout she brought. They didn't pull it up online to cross check or anything else. In fact, in her case, she was showing them a half marathon team race she did. She showed her split time and distance (just over 10K) and her age. Her NAME wasn't even on the print out- since it was just the team name with ages of the participants next to it.
The person at the expo kinda looked at it funny, but went ahead and moved her up to corral B based on this information. We laughed later that if we had thought about it, there was a team who had someone the same age as her- but they ran it much faster! We could have claimed that team and gotten her into A corral.

If I do have to wait for a race after Dec 1, our local running club does post the times on their website with the names & ages of runners. I'm not sure how the race I'm trying to do before Dec 1 will work. I've never actually ran a race outside of my local running club, except for the Komen Race For the Cure, which had 66,000 participants that year

Obviously I'm not running the Princess to get a great time but I do want a higher corral placement to start with. I can run a 10k in about 55-60 minutes so I'm hoping I'll be able to get it.
Awesome job! I finished in 3:11:33. Up until about mile 10 I was on track to finish a little before 3 hours, but I slowed down and with the rain and cold, I tightened up fast and just couldn't get moving again, so I walked pretty much the last 3 miles. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to meet you, but I was freezing after the race. I couldn't even drink the beer. Just had a little chowder and was on my way home.Thanks, that's what I'll do
They had a good variety of XS - XL and they come in short (that would be me), regular and long. This was at a SuperTarget, so it was a larger store. 
Heads up, Target lovers! (And who isn't, really?!?!) My Target had lg. amts of workout clothes marked down 50% today. Shorts, tanks and bras - great deals. My fave score was another pair of their C9 running pants. They are similar to yoga pants and SUPER comfy - they are orig. 19.99, but tag said 10.50. Looked at my receipt and they ended up being 7.68!!!
They also had some "ragged edge" tutu things in the costume section for 12.99, but I think those were more geared to the not-so-disney princess look....
) were $8.00.Kim, that's a great time!!
I loved the neighborhood that had the music playing and all the signs up in the yard.
Because I'm at work and don't feel like working, I checked out the pace calculator on Runner's World. With your half time, it would translate to a 1:14:51 10K, so a little longer for the Devil's Chase.
I hope we get the chance to meet up at the Devil's Chase at the end of the month. That one looks like fun.

Kim, that's a great time!!
LOVED reading your post! I think you had a great time in the race considering the weather factors. I am hoping for my very, very very first 5K here in San Antonio on Saturday that it's not the usual 1000% humidity and I can hold my 13:00 min mi pace. If not....I'll be happy just to finish!
I'm not able to do the Princess in 2013 (we're taking a DCL cruise at the end of Dec. for my birthday and doing a trip to WDW 2 months later would be pushing it just a little! 
). But my BFF and I are planning it in 2014, but I had a ...sort of training issue and I thought you amazing ladies could help me out!
) but since I've started adding distance and building up my speed they've been falling a little short. They don't seem to have the support I need around the balls of my feet or the arch. Any suggestions on some good running shoes? TIA!
