Yesterday was day 2 of actual running training and today I lifted, stretched for awhile, and biked a bit on the stationary. I also completed my registration for my first 5k. Slowly building myself up!

All this talk of VMK is getting me nostalgic. DH and I would stay up taking turns rocking our oldest (then a newborn) to sleep and sitting up with her due to an illness at 6 weeks and we played VMK to kill time/keep ourselves awake. Good times. So sad to see it was taken down.

Well that would explain why I keep getting "rooms unavailable" when I look at February 2014. I'm a dope. :oops:

That sounds like a great plan. I do have myself registered for two 5ks coming up in August and in September. I'll find a 10K to aim for, for after that. As an aside, I am just starting in on reading your trip reports for your Disney marathons. :D

Yeah I was up in the air on that. Right now I'm training on a treadmill, so I thought about doing that just to condition myself in general, and then try taking it outdoors as I hear that is a totally different ball of running wax ;). Or, I might extend some of those weeks into two-3 week...

Loved reading your trip report. Your pictures were gorgeous and they brought me back. I've only flown out of Logan, but I'd be curious to try it out of TF Green.

Thanks! Yeah I've been poring over information from all over regarding running, running nutrition, conditioning, etc. and every where I read I see that cross-training is the way to go for fitness and it's general effect on your body so that your running is improved. What with my desire to also...

I really enjoyed reading your blog about your sister's race. It also gave me more insight into the course, etc. I'm planning on 2015 to give me plenty of time to prepare. Good luck!

Yesterday I started my very first training day for the Princess half marathon in 2015. Since I've got weight to lose so I'm starting slow and conditioning myself by getting my fitness endurance up in general. I did day one of this program...

My main concern with this was timing. I read on this thread that some years, the Princess Half Marathon was in March. If I knew it to be consistently on the same weekend I wouldn't mind booking the rooms before registration opens, but it sounds like it jumps around slightly. Or did I misread that?

I'm planning on running this half marathon in 2015. Can anyone tell me how far in advance they usually open up registration for the upcoming year's race? Also, how soon after that do the resort areas seem to fill up? I only ask because I was looking around and was pricing out the suites at AoA...

Ah see I was wondering about things like this!

Great feedback everyone. Thank you!

I've read about some of the general differences in amenities online (room service vs. just pizza delivery or full restaurant vs. food court), but I was wondering if there were other differences that you'd really only understand by having stayed at the different resorts. I've stayed in one deluxe...

My favorite thing about her, and the storyline in general, is that there is no love interest.

She's become a favorite of mine (official or not).

For us its price and size of the room. This next trip means AoA for us with those ideas in mind.

I've never done a split stay so maybe someone could correct me. I always thought that the resorts took care of moving your luggage from one place to the other. So essentially you could leave to go to the park from your first resort and then come home to the new place with everything already...

What is something off the beaten path or unique that you collect? Maybe something that generally isn't part of a collection per se.

We'll be driving down for our next trip and I was wondering what other large families did for transportation around the park. Did you prefer to use your own vehicle, or did you find things were easier using park options. We're planning on Art of Animation in 2015. I've done Pop with my two older...
