Good luckYay! I'm doing Color Me Rad this Saturday. Haven't run in two weeks. I hope I don't pass out!
How did you do? You haven't updated so maybe you did pass out?.........Yay! I'm doing Color Me Rad this Saturday. Haven't run in two weeks. I hope I don't pass out!
LOL! Not terrible. I walked more than I ran, but I finished in 41 minutes. Good enough for the required runDisney pace, so I'm good with it.
Thanks for posting. It's getting real now. My first ever race and about 5 weeks ago I couldn't even run a few feet down the road. Still trying to decide on an outfit. Not going to run without one! See you thereCourse map!

Miles 1 and 3 look...eh...but look at mile 2! Very excited to meet the characters in their Christmas wear.
That's good see you at the jingle jungle
CONGRATS!
You'll have a blast at the 5K.That's awesome that you have come so far in such a short amount of time. You'll do great! Are you thinking of wearing a costume?
definitely wearing a costume - if I am going to run (which I've never done before) and around Disney I am going to make the most of the experience. It's something I never even thought I could do when I signed up and the opportunity to dress up and have pictures with characters is too good an opportunity to miss! One quick question I saw you posted bib numbers was that for this race or half marathon? Just checking I haven't missed something. ThanksCONGRATS!

I probably should post this here, too...the race weekend program: http://as1.wdpromedia.com/media/rundisney/pdf/wine-dine/Wine&Dine13_Program.pdf
Both!
Thanks for the tip re costume - I'm not sure what I will look like in winter in the UK running in maybe a princess outfit or something equally Disney! I might get carted off to a funny farm and not make the race. Lol. Can see a late night run under the cover of darkness coming......Both!

When I put my name in both bibs showed up (for the 5K and the half). Of course you want to keep in mind that since this isn't linked from runDisney's site yet that there's always the possibility that these aren't *final* yet.
I'll be curious to see if they corral this race like they did the 5K in January...my guess is that they will. I'm #1085 for the 5K and my husband is #1084.
Your costume - make sure it's comfortable. You don't want fabric that's too heavy or could cause you to chafe. If you really want to be prepared I'd suggest a short test run in it before race day.
Haha! I'm pretty about race day stuff - nothing new on race day for me. I'm even bringing my breakfast from home.
But when I ran in Disney in January it was HOT and HUMID, and I couldn't fathom how some people were making it through in the costumes they were wearing. Some I understood because they looked like lighter fabrics, but others, to me looked heavy and uncomfortable. More power to those that can run in costumes like that! I sure can't. I totally get wanting to wear the costume but I know myself - I don't even like wearing hats or visors when I run because it makes me hot. I can't imagine wearing a costume...but that's just me. And I read that the 5K this past weekend was hot and humid, so I'm preparing for more of the same in November. Just something to think about.
A friend of mine practiced running in her tutu for weeks before the Princess half this year. She said it was kind of fun running around town in a tutu, even though it was bitter cold in Calgary, AB. She also said she was glad she practiced because it really was quite different than her normal running clothes.
Thanks for the tips really appreciate them given this is a first for me!Haha! I'm pretty about race day stuff - nothing new on race day for me. I'm even bringing my breakfast from home.
Hmm...I'm not sure! (Really helpful, right?)
