I have embarked on a bit of a crazy quest to run the Dopey Challenge in 2020. It’s in Walt Disney World in January 2020 and takes place over 4 consecutive days of a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and full marathon. I’m trying to document my training weekly to help keep me on track! I […]
Disney news, rumors, and round-up: August 2019
Once again exciting things will be happening this month! Galaxy’s Edge will finally open in Disney World in Florida (it’s been open in Disneyland since June). Cast member previews have started, annual passholder previews will be in the middle of the month (I’ll be there on August 19th!) and then the grand opening is August […]

Dopey Challenge training – week 1
If you follow me on social media, you might know that a few months ago I signed up to run the “Dopey Challenge.” That’s in January and it’s 4 consecutive days of a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and full marathon. I might be crazy but I am at least going to train hard for it! […]
Walt Disney World marathon recap
In the midst of all the chaos that went on during this trip, I did run a marathon. I had some bad panic attacks and the few days before and a virus afterward, but on the day of the marathon I actually got out there and did it. I gotta say the marathon was like […]
WDW marathon training – week 27
This is it – the last week of marathon training. I did in fact skip week 26 last week. I think I got one short run in. But with the holidays and going back and forth to the vet all the time with Merlin, I just didn’t have the time. I still got some walking […]
Marathon training:
I doubt anyone has been following my marathon training all that closely, but if you did you would have noticed that I didn’t really post about it the last two weeks. The reason for that was that my ankle was hurting after the 23 mile run. I decided to rest it as much as possible. […]
WDW marathon training – week 22
There’s nothing like following up a big holiday with a 23 mile run! That training run had been on my mind more this holiday than the food or anything else. I knew I’d have to be careful to not overindulge too much so I would be in a good shape to run the next morning. […]
WDW marathon training – week 17
Last week was a big week with a 17 mile run! Literally after finishing the Hershey Half and then doing another 4 miles afterward I got lunch, drove home, took a shower, and then got back into the car for 2 hours to drive up to the Poconos for a work conference. The conference was […]
