Has anyone ever submitted a time at bib pick up? I have the chance to do a 10k on Thursday but I'm in the fence. I did my first 6 mile run in 20+ years yesterday and finished at 10:10/mile. I'm sore has heck today. I was hoping to do the 5k and get a PR as my weekly 30 min runs have picked up pace to 8:55/mile. Ugh!!!
Is anyone planning on mostly walking the marathon solo?

My legs are fine, my mind is fine, but I just can't get the lungs on track - I can run for about 2 minutes or so, then I have to stop. It sucks!! I am getting better, but it's taking so LONG!
It's got to be something in the age (or gender? ) because I feel like mine are constantly whining about something. If they wanted to be outside and I want them inside, they whine but if I suggested they go out, they whine. If I don't take them with me, they whine but if I do take them, they whine...can't win!!!!

My main problem is my back. My chest is just too large for any sports bra to do the job, and if I do find one that does the job then I feel like I can't breathe. With all that in motion from running after a few minutes my back feels like its going to snap! I just stick with fast paced walking and am working on increasing my speed little by little.
For the previous PHM gals...how was your corral placement based on your time reported to run disney? (I.e., if you reported finishing at 2:50 were you in corral D, E or F?)

In 2011 I submitted a 1:19 10k and as put in B corral. The run I did had mega hills so I don't know if they compare routes because they have me an estimated 2:28 finish
Last year I didn't submit a time but estimated 2:45 and was C corral.
It changes every year
Reported 2:59 and got E. It seemed like C and better were the ones with proof of time 2:45 or better, D and E were those between 2:45 and 3:00, F and G were 3-3:30, and H was the 3:30s and those who put below 2:45 and didn't provide proof. Just an estimate, though, I could be completely wrong.
Thanks for the info! I'm thinking based on what I reported I would be in "D". Still hoping to find a 10K or maybe the half marathon here in San Antonio in Jan to take with me to the expo for better placement.
This makes total since...even if I can improve my time a little over what I self reported I wouldn't get above "C". And I am TOTALLY okay with that! Thanks for the info
To all the large chatted ladies... I am a 38FF. I love the Panache sports bra! It's not only comfortable and supportive, but it's also cute!
It's pricey, but I bought mine all for 20% off from figleaves (new customers get 20% off so I sucked it up and bought 3). Bare Necessities often offers 15-20% off too.

But there are a few posts a couple threads back that people recommended bras to check out when I asked! Being busty has it's perks, maybe. But DEFINITELY not when it comes to running.

Have you tried wearing a regular bra with a sports bra over it? That's wht I have ended up doing and it works pretty well (for now, anyway).My main problem is my back. My chest is just too large for any sports bra to do the job, and if I do find one that does the job then I feel like I can't breathe.

Haha! I don't think my coach would like it if I sat on himThere is no shame in taking walk breaks during the run...I've never been a smoker but still have the breathing problems from time to time..running coach says it takes time to work on lung capacity..I've been training since May and have seen improvement so keep plugging along! Look at it this way...at least you are getting out there trying vs. sitting on the coach!
Did I get this right?Reported 2:59 and got E.
