Disney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend - February 22-24, 2013

[Christine]

Oh I seriously doubt you'll be behind me, kitty! I'm in corral F! And I'm slow. And it's gonna be hot. And I have a horrible plantar wart under my heel. And my Knee is strained. (And I have plenty of other excuses if anyone wants me to go on! Hahhaha!!)

[badkitty]

I'm just really slow! Do you think it will ran? How are preparing for the chance of rain?

I don't know...I'm not sure if they'd do a delay in starting because it would affect park and traffic to go later than normally. I guess we get wet!

I've shared some pics from yesterday at the expo...they don't really illustrate the madness well, but I wasn't able to stop moving in the herd long enough to get a good shot!

[badkitty]

Thanks Christine! Take care with your injuries. I hope you are not in too much pain.

[Tri Minnie]

Good luck to all of the princesses (and princes) running tomorrow. Have fun!

[Christine]

Oooooweee! It was a hot & humid day for a race! But it's done now- & it was lots of fun. Ill report back later, but wanted to check in to congratulate & make sure sherri & bad kitty made it ok- it was HOT HOT HOT!!!

[Patricia]

Congratulations to all the finishers!

Looking forward to the pictures.

[badkitty]

Congratulations Christine!

I finished! So hot and humid but still a lot of fun. Not my best but I stayed slow and steady with an alternating 30 second run then 30 second walk. Jeff's program got me through! I was also able to snap a few pics along the way.

[PirateLover]

Congratulations to all who finished! What an inspiration you are to the rest of us!

OMG I LOVED them!

GREAT recap, kitty! I think you hit it all! I didn't do many pics along the way My foot hurt SO badly I just wanted to finish!

I am having surgery next week so I hope to be running easier soon!

[badkitty]

I'm so sorry about your foot Christine. Best of luck on your surgery.

I didn't take many pictures either. I was very worried about maintaining pace in the humidity that I just trudged on. I did wait in line for a castle pic though.
