We're going to the expo on Saturday after breakfast at the Poly. We need something to do until our room is ready at OKW. Smile

I have NO IDEA what I'm wearing in the race. None. I don't really do costumes. I've got two paris of fun socks to start with - neon pink and bright purple. So I'll probably start there.

I read your post about the ToT and Congrats.
I did the half in 2010 with my sister and it was snowing before the race started. COLD!

OH dear. I would be so unprepared for that!! I hope it doesn't snow for any of the races! There's a chance it may snow (flurry) here this weekend for my last long run.

What did you think of the half?? Any tips/tricks??

Spook: How is your knee??

I have to say at the time I swore all I wanted to do was finish. When we got to the starting line and the fireworks went off I was so PUMPED. I was so nervous about getting swept that I let the nerves get the best of me. Do not get me wrong I did enjoy the race and talked to lots of people has we walked. We did get picture with Prince Charming and Fairy Godmother just before running through castle, and at the mile markers. We are slow right between the 15 and 17 mins pace. And we did not want to chance pictures with anyone that had a line.

Dressed in layers. Two pair of pants, gloves, scraf, hat. Lost the scraf around mile 3. Second pair of pants between mile 5 and 6 just before entering the Magic Kingdom, I think I finished with my hat can not remember. But there is nothing like holding hands with my sister over our heads as we ran through the castle and made sure we got a good picture.

I would do it again! But I did not train like I really should have. Think it is all in the training.

Hey girls (Taratru, Spook, JmuDukz) how did you get on at the half marathon? I want all the gorey details!

(DH and I completed the 5k. We ran the whole 3.1 miles, no walking at all! Loved it! DH said it was his favourite part of our vacation! We had a great time! Can't wait to do another RunDisney event - this could be an expensive hobby!!!) awesome
