It's that time of year again; spring...a time to start anew...or a time to start over. For the members of Team AllEars that means it's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work again as we launch Team AllEars 2014.
The Team AllEars Running Team was founded in 2009 to motivate everyone into a healthier lifestyle via the activities of walking, jogging, and running. The team also had another goal in mind as well and that was to do more than just motivate people into adopting a healthier lifestyle. The goal was to serve others who were dealt a challenge...the challenge of dealing with breast cancer.
Defining Success
Posted onBy Christine Surh After signing up for the WDW Half Marathon early last year, the only goal I could think about was finishing. I had done two half marathons previously with finish times of 4:05 and 4:01. I knew it would be a challenge to train to finish under 3:30. I signed up for local … Continue reading "Defining Success"

It’s about running – something that had you asked me about it a year ago, I would never have thought of attempting. That … Continue reading "The Adventure Begins"
Journey to a Half Marathon
Posted onby Sandra Hall I have never been a runner and I haven’t run since playing field hockey in high schoo some 50 years ago. I had read blogs on about the WDW Marathon Weekend and wondered about walking the half. After my son did “Goofy” in 2012, he told me that some people did walk … Continue reading "Journey to a Half Marathon"
Life is Better With a Little Pixie Dust
Posted onby Sara Rhodes How many of us have heard “you are going to Disney, again!?” For a gal like me who has made the trip from Illinois to Florida over 30 times in my 31 years, I have heard it too many times to count.

My Team AllEars Journey
Posted onTeam All Ears runner April Arnold shares her story about how she became a member of Team All Ears, who Run With Purpose
The Night Before runDisney
Posted on'twas the night before runDisney, when all thro' Jambo House,
Not a character was stirring, not even The Mouse;
The compression socks where hung on the balcony with care,
In the realization that the wakeup call was ever so near (*1);
The children were nestled on the pull out sofa beds,
While visions of Dole Whips and Mickey Ears danc'd in their heads,
And Mama in her running skirt and I in my wicking cap,
Had just settled our brains for a very short nap (*2) --
When out in the night arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
And tripped over the souvenirs on which I spent all my cash.
