2013 Tinker Bell Half Marathon – Part 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Wow…it was a great morning! I think the Tinker Bell Half Marathon is now my favorite Disney race. Last year’s inaugural race was really good, but this year was even better. I finished in 2:36:07 (with lots of photo stops) and Lee finished in 2:23:37. Despite running Goofy last week we both felt really good … Continue reading "2013 Tinker Bell Half Marathon – Part 2"

2013 Marathon Weekend – Part 3 – Marathon

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
We did it! The 2013 Goofy Challenge, and the 20th Walt Disney World Marathon! Though Sunday wasn’t quite as hot as they thought it might be (81 instead of 84) it was still a tough day to be running 26.2 miles. Very humid, too, and sunny, without the clouds I was hoping for, which just … Continue reading "2013 Marathon Weekend – Part 3 – Marathon"

Today was the first 13.1 miles of our 39.3 mile “Goofy” experience – the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. We tried not go to out too hard or fast, since we have 26.2 more to do tomorrow, and finished in 2:32:58. Our day started very early – we’d planned to get up at 2:30, but … Continue reading "2013 Marathon Weekend – Part 2 – Half Marathon"

2013 Marathon Weekend – Part 1

*** Update – we finished this morning’s half marathon in 2:32:58! Faster than we had planned, but we only stopped for one character photo because the lines were so long. We feel good – now we’re resting up for tomorrow. We arrived in Orlando Thursday evening and headed straight to the Expo from the airport. … Continue reading "2013 Marathon Weekend – Part 1"

The Night Before runDisney

Posted on by Michelle Scribner-MacLean
'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.

Disneyland Half Marathon 2012 – Part 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Another Disneyland Half Marathon completed! We had a very good race, and finished in 2:25:30, which is a really good time for us in a Disney race since we stop for photos – though we didn’t stop for all the characters this time. This year the half marathon started a little earlier – at 5:45 … Continue reading "Disneyland Half Marathon 2012 – Part 2"
