January 15, 2014 by Laura Gilbreath

Three down, one to go! But we haven’t even done half of the mileage yet…we have completed 22.4, and still have 26.2 left! It was VERY hard to get up at 2:00 this morning…we both really, really, really wanted to go back to sleep. But today was the first real test of this whole Dopey … Continue reading "WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 6"

We’re feeling good, though – we took it very easy in today’s 10K and had a good time running with some of our teammates. This was the Inaugural Walt Disney World 10K. … Continue reading "WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 3"

January 10, 2014 by Laura Gilbreath

One race down, three to go. Of course it was the easiest of the four, and we still have 45.7 miles to go. But it’s nice to have one of them done! We had never run the WDW 5K before. It’s a MUCH smaller race, and a whole lot more pleasant! With the influx of … Continue reading "WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 2"
