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"

WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 5

January 13, 2014 by Laura Gilbreath

It’s official! We are Dopey! Great experience, but I am SO tired. We lucked out and had absolutely perfect weather today – sunny, in the 50s and 60s, not too humid, and with a nice cool breeze. It was like running in San Diego. Really comfortable for running. The course was the same as last … Continue reading "WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 5"

January 12, 2014 by Laura Gilbreath

Three down, one to go! Though we haven’t even done half of the distance yet – Michelle told me today that it’s not until we get 1.9 miles into the marathon tomorrow that we will have done 24.3… I am beginning to think that the Dopey Challenge is really a long-term study on the effects … Continue reading "WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 4"

WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 3

January 11, 2014 by Laura Gilbreath

Two races down, two to go! Unfortunately it’s the two SHORT races, so we’ve only done 9.3 miles and have 39.3 left. Yikes. 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"

WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 2

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"
