The shoes I am wearing with my costume are NOT my regular shoes and I may regret it but I do have 3 six mile runs in them. Vanity o' vanity.

Thanks! It does help to know that maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing if I ran in them

Thanks for the advice...think I will keep the "date" as most of my allergies are food (seafood&berries) so Kona has the best menu choice. Secretly hoping maybe the Hawaii five O guys will make a special appearance !

Thanks too to anamerida for the feedback.

Me also thinks the weather at PHM is looking more and more like high 50's for race time....think as TX princesses and other southern princesses we will be well acclimated for race day...hallelujah...was worried about really cold weather !

I am lactose intolerant and Kona had the best choices for me, too. Besides you can get a Lapu-Lapu there and a Dole Whip at captain cooks.

Sitting comfortably in a tutu should be part of all Princess training, I think. And what's everyone planning to do with their tutus *after* the run? Bring it home, throw it out, give it to the first non-runner who says 'hey that's a cool tutu'?

Just for fun, here's a picture of me after a Run for the Cure 5K, getting a post-run massage still in the tutu:

I was quite surprised that I have actually worn mine from 2011 three times, with a 4th coming up! It's a green one for Tink. Did that for 2011 & 12 Princess, wore it at another half the day after St. Pat's last yr and will be doing that same race when it occurs on St. Pats this year! Who knew I would (pun totally intended) get so much mileage out of it!

Not too bad I guess. I would actually love to have weather similar to last year.

Put on one of my costumes this morning. A bit snug but it fits. The one I want to really wear I can't seem to locate at the moment to check. Will bug my Mom about it if I can't find it or too tight than I'll default back to my Cinderella dress.

Hopefully if I am back at it again next year after the surgery a dress being to snug will be a thing of the past for the most part.

Yeesh! That's our typical weather down here in S.Florida during our training runs. Hoping it drops another 15-20 degrees. Otherwise, I'm probably going to melt.

No choices yet-- just asked everyone to nominate their favorite song by midnight. It says voting will be this weekend.

I quickly scanned some of the several hundred comments this morning...there seemed to be alot of nominations for "Girl on Fire" and "Titanium" at that time. Several for "Stronger" too. I think the final choices are supposed to be posted this weekend for voting.

I know, I know - the shoes don't match - don't care! Wouldn't trade my beloved neon blue & yellow Mizuno's for anything in the world

SERIOUSLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this!!!

I'm literally crying seeing all your pics and posts! I am so proud and happy for all my princesses! It is preggo hormones gone wild with the tears. I am finally feeling better so I am hoping to really enjoy this trip. I am really sad not to be participating, but I know I made the right choice. DH is really encouraging me to sleep in and take the bus to the finish, as opposed to me coming with him and hustling via monorail to see him by the TTC and Poly. I think he's right. But I'm still a bit bummed. It's ok though. I'm going to be there at the finish for him, I plan to catch the bus when they start up again.
