WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 5
Posted onIt’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.

Hail to the Bus Driver
Posted onThe Bus is a group of runners who develop an identity over the life of the race, setting a pace and tone that get the whole group across the finish line. And unlike the pacesetter in a pace group whose sole purpose is to get people across the line at a specific time, the Bus Driver's sole purpose is getting everyone through to the final destination... before the cut-off. Besides having to run their own race, the Bus Driver often becomes responsible for the races of others.
This past Wine & Dine race at Epcot, 12 of us Team Allears Members were fortunate enough to form our own bus for the race. Rich Gairing was the Bus Driver who got us all to our final destination.

Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend 2013 – Half Marathon
Posted onLaura Gilbreath shares day 2 of the Dumbo Double Dare, which was the Disneyland Half Marathon. "Whew...it was a very warm day for a half marathon (even warmer than it was on Marathon Sunday at WDW in January), but we did it, and added another DL Half Marathon medal and the new Dumbo Double Dare medal to our bling collection. 2:28:14 for me and 2:28:50 for Lee. Considering the heat I was very happy to finish in less than 2:30."
Preparing for Dopey
Posted onby Mike Paxton It’s about seven months until the 2014 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend.
