Shellabell.....you have time to get back on track.
I know having the Tinker Bell will MAKE me stay in "training" after the DL 1/2 over labor day. In the past training usually stops during the fall and winter. The TB will help me stay movtivated!!!
Obviously pace calculators can be off (If i plug in my info I should run a 4:15 full, and ha. ha. ha. If i run 4:30 I will be thrilled), but anyways if you plug in your 5k time you should be at 2:05 HM - either way, you definitely should be on pace for a big PR in May if the weather cooperates

I've taken about a minute off my pace per mile and I'm all running now before I was run walking.
I had decided in 2013 I would do the Princess 1/2 to celebrate my 45th, but when they announced the Tinkerbell I decided to go for it. I have only done one 1/2 and that was Disneyland 2008. I have totally gotten out of shape since then; so I am hoping this will get me back on track!
Hi,
I have seen a couple of posts with "PR." What does PR mean? Is it something to do with pace?

JDBlair....right now I would love to have your 90 degree weather. It's cold and gloomy for our egg hunt that will be happening soon. But your summers are difficult. I've been a few times in Aug and Sept. Much too hot to train out doors.
If you have not done the DL 1/2 you will love it. Lots of fun !!
Congrats on registering for your first 1/2 marathon. I'm sure you and your friends will have loads of fun. Throughout the race you'll have various entertainment and characters to stop and take pictures with. I should warn you that the character lines for taking pictures can be long and I'm sure you don't want to get picked up for not maintaining the required pace.
Last year was my first time running and I only stopped for pictures with the mile marker signs. I was so worried about not finishing in time but I actualled did pretty good. 2:48:20.
Great Idea!!!! maybe that would be faster then some of the pics with characters.
For those of you that have done it before. How many charachters are along the way?? Do you know before hand like when you pick up your packet ??
Anyone wanna show some of the pics they took so I can share with the girls at work that are running with me.. they are not DIS members (I know the horror LOL)

I ran the Princess this year and I took 25 pictures with characters! 3 of them were repeats. Some of the pictures were in the dark since I started in corral A, so I caught the characters on my way back - like the pirates and Tarzan.
I finished in 2:04.
I don't think there is a published list of the character stops.
But there should be plenty.
If you go on the 2011 Princess thread you should find some links to people's pictures.
Hi everyone! Count me in for the TinkerBell 1/2!
Thanks Lisa for starting this thread and gathering fellow fairy runners
My name is May. I am a novice runner. Started my "learn to run" program with a local running group just over a month ago. Have my first 5k run on Mother's day (2 days before my 45th birthday). My goal originally was to run the WDW 1/2 in 2013, but when the Tinkerbell 1/2 was announced, I said to myself, I HAVE TO DO THIS ONE!! So here I am, really have to bump up my training So glad to find you guys!

So I want to try to do this, but want to see how early training goes before committing. How can I know when the race is getting full so as not to miss my opportunity? Thanks.
Hey everyone....right now in the stores are a lot of "Tink" (green) running tops. This girl has to keep with the theme. I'm not going to do the race in wings but at least I can wear a Tink(ish) color top. There are some really some fun colors out there right now. Happy shopping !!
I signed up for this race. My first DL race, and the Left Coast half of my CtC challenge!! Currently I'm registered for the W&D Half in Oct and will sign up for the W&D Half in 2013.
