Defining Success

Posted on by Michelle Scribner-MacLean
By 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"

The Gift

Posted on by Michelle Scribner-MacLean
by Jamison Reynolds “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.”-Steve Prefontaine On Sunday January 13th, my best was my worst. The 20th Anniversary of the Walt Disney World marathon was my most difficult run in the five or so years I have been pounding pavement. I simply crashed. I turned … Continue reading "The Gift"

The Adventure Begins

Posted on by Michelle Scribner-MacLean
by Matt Allgaier Writing a blog is something that I have never attempted before but then again it’s a blog on a subject that I never attempted before so it seems appropriate. 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 on by Michelle Scribner-MacLean
by 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"

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

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
*** 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"
