Tinker Bell ½ Marathon Weekend ~ 2014 Check-in!

[kim3339]

Please add me and DD and DS for the 5k I'm not a runner and this will be my first so I'll be the one you'll be seeing tripping over my shoe laces being nagged at by my kids to hurry up

Don't worry, you'll do fine!

I am going to do the Tink half and the 10k if they offer it...I'm also doing the DDD.

I am planning to register for the half and 5k or the challenge if there is one!

Updated the list. If I forgot you, just let me know and I'll update it again.

I'm hoping to be back for Tink and her 10km friend if they offer it and if not I'll do the 5km. I did the 5km and half this year at both Tink and Princess and loved having a shake out run the day before.

Try not to be nervous! There will only be a limited number of spots available next week, so it won't sell out now.

I certainly hope that they don't sell out. I wonder if they'd expand the number of entrants, right now it's around 15,000. But...they can't offer early registration to EVERYONE, right? LOL.

I dunno, this just has me a little stressed.

Doesn't the reg. registration open around 9AM or something? I can't seem to find a time anywhere, just the date.

I'm not worried about them selling out with the early registration, but how fast it will potentially sell out when it opens in July. Every year these things seem to be filling up faster and faster and if I'm stuck at work (I start at 4am, then sometimes straight to job #2 from there) and it sells out on day #1 which is entirely possible I'm SOL. I'll just continue to be nervous until I'm all official and everything.

I think tink was at 51% day 2 last year. But didn't sell out until a month later

This year- if the 10k happens it will go faster, but I don't think it will sell put first day or anything.

Do you have someone you can trust to register for you?

 

[longhorns2]

I'm in for tink! See y'all there.

I know reg was just open for the 1/2, but do you want me to put you down for the 5k/10k too?

Kim,
I'm in for the 1/2 only at this time. I see the rD website has updated the dates to 2014 for Tink but didn't list a 10k. Any new news or rumors?

I'm in for Tink!

If there's a 10k yes I'll do it. If there's not one- ill sleep in Saturday!

Ditto this for me!

Is the list at the beginning of the thread the 2014 list? I'm confused because this is such a long thread! Anyway, don't know if you got me yet, but I'm in for the Half! My very first

 

[Belle Ella]

Do you have someone you can trust to register for you?

Sadly, no. I don't have a lot of people in my life period, let alone that could register for me. I know I always just overthink everything. I know I should be able to get in, but it doesn't stop me from stressing about it

Not specific to the Tinker Bell 1/2, but related to running. . .

Next Wednesday around the country is a limited showing of Spirit of the Marathon 2, a documentary following several runners as they prepare to run a marathon in Rome, Italy.

If anyone's not familiar with Spirit of the Marathon, the original followed runners preparing for the Chicago Marathon. We watched it while preparing for our first marathon in doing Goofy this past January, and it was very inspiring and well made IMO. If you're interested even in watching the original, I believe it is still available on Netflix and may also be available on Hulu.

If you're even thinking about one day running a marathon, I'd highly recommend checking out the original, and maybe keeping an eye out for the sequel next week or whenever it moves to DVD/streaming for rental afterward!

Thanks! Will have to check it out, I would love to run Rome 1 day. Chicago... would love to run it, but the weather/heat always seems to come into play and scares me.

Ohmygosh. I'm on a list. That's like commitment! I really have to do this now

I was so excited to run into some Guests while I was working today who have run the Tinkerbell and are waiting for the registration to open. I'm always on the look out for a runDisney lanyard or an event shirt. I love to talk 'shop' for a second.

Didn't get my run in today Got called in early to work and in order for me to have parking tonight it's too late to go to the gym. Phooey.

 

[AZlady]

Add me & DD to the 5k ( if we can get in)

Thanks
