Half Marathon State # 23 Half Marathon #44 On Sunday, May 6, 2018 I ran in the Middlebury (VT) Maple Run Half Marathon.  My wife and I did a quick flight up to Vermont on Saturday morning and returned Sunday evening after the race.  We had to fly into Burlington, VT, which was about an hour drive to Middlebury where the race was.  However, before heading to Middlebury, we decided to spend a few hours in Burlington.  It was a nice scenic little town.

On Saturday, April 21, 2018, I began my quest to complete the third of three years of the RunDisney Star Wars Dark Side Challenge Weekend.  Saturday began with the Star Wars Dark Side 10K. We stayed at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, our Disney Vacation Club Home Resort for this trip.  I woke up about 2:45 AM, so that I could be on the shuttle to the start by 3:30 AM.  Disney races always start at 5:30 AM, which always means an early wake up call. Here was my gear for the 10K. The start for the the 10K race was in the Magic Kingdom parking lot.  The resort shuttle ha ..read more

Why I runDisney This week was supposed to be the 2018 Star Wars Light Side Half Marathon Weekend at the Disneyland Resort. As you all know, runDisney has put their Disneyland races on hiatus. So, there will be no half marathons, challenges, or any other races at Disneyland this year. If you’re a West Coaster, you’re probably going to have some withdraws to go through this year. Last week, runDisney made an announcement through the Disney Parks blog…. They are going to have a Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon. According to the runDisney event web site, “Race through the galaxy on a course of ..read more

As we draw to an end on the 2017 year, it is time for my yearly recap.  This year I covered a lot of half marathons but my training was not as substantial as years past. In the past few years I have hovered around 1,000 miles of running.  This year I decided against this methodology for quality over quantity.  So for the year 2017, I cut down on junk mileage runs, and made sure there was a purpose for every run.  Because of this, my mileage reduced, and I ended up with 700 miles. The year started out really weird.  In January we drove all the way to Jackson, Mississip ..read more
