Disney's Princess Half
Who said they were thinking about doing it? I was looking at the 5k the other day and I think running through EPCOT would be awesome (I am somewhat of a Disney freak lol) but I am not sure if I was to spend $45 on a race just yet.
Re: Disney's Princess Half
I don't know if anyone here is doing it. We (Carolyn, Jenny & I) are doing the Gasparilla races, which are the same wknd as the Disney half.
FYI: Have you looked @ the actual course map for the 5k? I volunteered for the half last year (and Carolyn has run the full) and it's a lot of running in the road and not necessarily in the park. When I volunteered we were in some back area that was back behind the park, not in the park, and the finish was in the parking lot I believe, not even in the park. Just a thought.
I love my crazy child!

Gotcha, well that is pretty cool to run through the park.
IMO, disney races are to expensive for me. That's one of the main reasons I won't run the half.. $135! Those people are nuts.
My aunt is doing a 5k this coming weekend that runs through seaworld. She wants me to do it, but I'm going to have my neice. It would be cool though.
I love my crazy child!

Ditto what Carolyn said!
I also think it's totally awesome that you are planning for a 5k in Feb!! Let us know if you plan on doing one in Jan!
I love my crazy child!
My Bio
I am doing the Disney Princess half. I did the full before and swore I'd never do Disney again but my future SIL really wants to do it so I said yes.
IMO I would find a 5k closer and cheaper rather than doing Disney.
I want to start running with all of you girls! My H has tried to get me to do it but I'm not a runner. It sounds like fun so I think I will start running around the block!!
When I can run around the block could I join you ladies??
The 2 5ks that I have done have been run/walks so as long as you can walk around the block you can join!
I love my crazy child!
My Bio
I'll be doing the Gasparilla half! I was going to do the Disney Princess but the cost was what really changed my mind. Not only is the race $$$$ (like Jena mentioned) but we would have to travel there and stay the night. I've run a 15K Disney race before that went through Epcot and I was honestly unimpressed. From their lack of port-a-poties (very important if you're suffering from the dreaded runner's trots
) to the fact that maybe only 1-2 miles was actually in the park (rest was access roads and highway) the whole thing just wasn't a great experience personally.
I think the only way I'd do Disney Princess 1/2 would be if it was a WCF Nestie road trip!!!
What do you think ladies? 2012?
Race PRs {5K-23:55} {10K-48:54} {15K-1:24:30} {13.1-1:53:39} {26.2-4:30:43}
Lol. I would consider this as well. Aren't you planning for a 2012 full around this time?
Actually, I would love a WCF road trip - maybe we could even find another race around Florida to do.
I just had friends who did the Ragnar Relay, and I thought... um... that would be fun to get some of us to do!

Chris saw the Ragner people on 54 in NPR and he told me I should find some runner friends and do it next year.
I thought about asking you what you though, but I thought you might look @ me like I had 12 heads
I'm totally down for the Ragnar, that would rock. I read a blog of a girl that just did it, looks like a ton of fun. Plus, you run through Clermont, awwwww.
Ahhh yes, tentatively. So many races so little time!!!!
Race PRs {5K-23:55} {10K-48:54} {15K-1:24:30} {13.1-1:53:39} {26.2-4:30:43}
I know!
So I kind of got the idea from the website. I would totally do this!! We need 12 people to participate?
Race PRs {5K-23:55} {10K-48:54} {15K-1:24:30} {13.1-1:53:39} {26.2-4:30:43}
Yah, i think its 12 people, and you each run 3 times. I think someone is always running. I don't know for sure. I know they camped out in Mascotte- I had a friend on FB asking what the hell all the runners were doing out and what was going on across from city hall.
It would be an awesome experience, but I don't know any other runners really.

"Throughout the course competitors are challenged by various obstacles such as tractor tire flip, tire run, steep hill climb, tunnel crawl, roll and pull, cargo net, mystery event, mud pit, etc. Each team determines its own strategy to get through the course, which covers about 6 miles and 18 challenges. Course terrain includes grass, dirt, jeep trail and single track trails."
I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to do something and I wouldn't want to let my partner down.
