What 37.5 miles taught me – Wildcat 100 Recap
“Well, how are you changed?” My wife asked me two days after I finished running 37.5 miles at the Wildcat 100 in Pensacola, FL. “I feel satisfied…like I don’t have anything left to prove and ready to move on to the next thing.” I replied. It was a crazy...

Star Wars Darkside Half Marathon 2018
This race is one of the few "one-ways" that Disney does throughout the year. The majority of them are loops for the most part. basically beginning and ending in the same general area. On these, if you are driving, you'll park at Epcot and bus over to the start near...
Star Wars Half Marathon Expo & 10K 2018
I love Star Wars. I would do movie marathons as a kid and watch all three of the originals back to back during summer days. I wanted to be Luke Skywalker. I don't know if I had unrealistic expectations for this series, with all of its potential, but after doing it for...
Boston Marathon (Tough Ruck) 2018

Mentally Overcome your Obstacles

Dopey Recap 2018 Half & Full Marathon

Dopey Recap 2018 Expo/5k/10K
I wasn't supposed to be here. It's well known that I will step up to just about any challenge, accomplish it and then I'm off to the next thing. So why am I dumb enough to do the Dopey Challenge twice? It really came down to three things. It was the 5th anniversary...
Star Wars Darkside Half Marathon 2017 Recap
Pre Race The hip was holding somewhat steady from the 10K yesterday, but I was still a little anxious. It was also back to team running. If you've never done a Disney Race with a team, I would highly suggest it. It's a totally different experience than running...

The Road to the 24HR Race
I've said in the past how I would never run a half marathon. I spent a few years doing really well on the obstacle course racing circuit, but the thought of straight running for a long distance was not appealing at all. The pull of running all the Disney races in a...
