Oh no!! I'm so sorry about that! I too have RBF most of the time and it WAS like 4AM so you were totally justified!@Ariel484
OMG. I’m reading your trip report right now and that’s me in the Nike visor in your 10K corral crowd picture. Sorry I looked like I was throwing you shade LOL! I have a resting b**** face most of the time, but I really am a nice person!
Hi, guys! This is my first half and I am not a runner at all HAHA so I'm nervous. I'm pretty slow but as long as my mental state allows me to keep running, I think I can do it. My question is to those who ran in before... who are the characters we are likely to see?! I've only ran the 2013 ToT 10-miler and they had a character every mile. I would love to stop for all but then I would never finish!
P.S.: I've decided to go as Moana!

I was inspired by all of the Dopey posts this weekend, so I did 9 miles today. I still hate long training runs. I am not sure I will making it past 12 miles before the half because I get so bored with 9 that even the idea of running 12 on my own annoys me right now. This is why I will never do a full marathon.
Haha I hear ya on that. I have managed to completed 3 full marathons (and I am DONE with those forever) and those 20 mile training runs are terrible. Where I usually go to do those super long runs, I sometimes will not see another person for a few hours. It's just me and the trees and silence.
I agree. I prefer the 10K distance but I do the halfs for Disney. This year due to not having a sitter for my daughter I got the 10K and my husband is doing the half. I really wish they would bring back the 10milers as I think that would be a nice distance.Totally agree! I am definitely a 10K-er. I run long for Disney, but I would just as soon go no further than a 10K. I really do not like training for anything longer.

I agree with you guys. After this half I am done. I hope to never go more than 5K again! The main reason I'm doing the half this year is because I've always wanted to do a challenge.

That’s what I said after my first challenge in 2016! No more half’s for me! Ha! I’ve done 4 half’s and have 4 scheduled between now and April, 2 locals, Princess 5, 10 & Half and SWDS 5 & Half. It’s a sickness.
Well hello again ladies! It has been forever since I had the time to catch up on everything. You guys have been super busy but I think I am FINALLY caught up. I was so sure the theme would be sleeping beauty with the redesign of the logo on the active registration page (Disney I know the crown inside the 'P' is Aurora's). With that said I love the medals and am so excited about the redesigned challenge medal. This is the one Disney race weekend hubby says I can do as long as I want. I started Princess in 2013 and moved to the challenge when it started 2014.
On a crazy note, I just have to share that I will be running this thing PREGNANT again. 2016 I was 18 weeks for princess (12 weeks for Dopey) and 2017 was just getting off of nursing (talk about chest pain and LOTS of bladder breaks). And I will be starting the cycle again...so be on the look out for a slightly round purple and gold crab from Moana for the 10K and a punk/black/gothic version of Ariel with an x-ray mermaid baby on my tummy for the half. Training has been rough with colds constantly being brought home by my 17 month old little X-man. I did the Princess Place trail half marathon just before New Years in Florida and even saw a Cinderella on the course. Everyone here has been an inspiration to get moving and I hope everyone keeps up with their training....let Dory be your spirit guide..."just keep swimming (running), just keep swimming (running)"...
Yes! I have done a 10 miler and a 15k trail run race, and I enjoyed them both. However when it's just me and 9-10 miles? I hate it. I am bored and music sucks and I don't like having to load myself up like a camel because I live in FL so I HAVE to have enough fluids, etc. After 8 miles I am over it if it's not a novel atmosphere.Haha I hear ya on that.
