As our team grows, so grows relationships. Since Team AllEars members live all over the United States and in three different countries, one thing that has emerged is the need for people to run local races together (when possible) and to just find time to hang out together and talk about two of our favorite subjects: Disney and running.
Now in our third year, the meets have started to turn into traditions and last week we met at the home of Team AllEars members Nik and Amanda Gonzales for our second annual Northeast Team AllEars Summer Run and Beach Bash.
We started off with a leisurely 5.12 mile run in gorgeous Marblehead, Massachusetts (if you’re not from around the northeast, it’s right next to Salem, MA and right on the beach). The sea breezes and running with friends made it a perfect run. It was great to run again with Amanda (our Team AllEars Facebook “Bud”) and to meet Heather Melito- Dezan, who is a new and welcome edition to our team this year. Extra special for me was to finally get to meet my Team AllEars mentee, Christine Griffin, in person. We got a chance to talk running, Disney, and even did a loop around the little light house.

After our run we were hungry so we met Nik and my co-captain, Mike Scopa on the beach with other Team AllEars members and their families: Josh and Cailin Gidlewski, and Jamie Curcie.

There were nine Team AllEars folks there in all and we had a blast talking Disney, running, and breaking the conditioning diet for just one day (well, maybe that was only me…but there was so much great food).

Team AllEars is about running at Disney, it’s about raising awareness and money to fight breast cancer, but it’s about being a community.
We hope to share news of other Team AllEars meets around the country (and perhaps around the world). Thanks to everyone who made it to the northeast meet and to our wonderful hosts. Looking forward to next year!
