Miles & Memories

We did it!!! Here's our reflections before each of the four races at the 2022 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend as well as our thoughts now that we have completed the Dopey Challenge.

This is our last podcast before the 2022 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend where we will be running the Dopey Challenge – 48.6 miles over four days. 

Karin Scarpinato, who is a perfect Dopey Challenge runner, joins us for our podcast today, which also includes one of the most embarrassing one sock stories we've ever shared.

We review the race courses for all four Walt Disney Marathon weekend races and talk about how we're approaching the last four weeks of our training. 

We're in the red zone of training with 5 weeks to go until the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, so we're catching up about where we are and what we need to work on. We're also talking a little bit about porta potty etiquette at runDisney events.

There's only six more weeks of our Dopey Challenge training schedule for the 2022 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, and the holiday season is upon us. Time for extra encouragement, planning, and focus!

We had an incredible time at Disney's 2021 Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend and in this episode we share about our experiences – including one heck of a "one sock club" moment. We also discuss the recent announcement of runDisney's Springtime Surprise races.

We discuss using the "Magic Mile" as a race pace indicator and we take a look at the race courses for the upcoming Wine & Dine Half Marathon at Walt Disney World. We also tackle a couple listener questions. 

Some of us are staying on top of our Dopey training plan as others are riding the "struggle bus," which we talk about this week. We also answer some listener questions about mid week training runs and race day attire. 

In this episode we are catching up with where we are in our training, discussing what we need or want as we continue toward Dopey, talking a little Disney news, and Don shares a "Darkside" One Sock Club story of galactic proportion!

We're up to 13.1 miles for our Dopey Challenge training and we are reflecting on those recent runs. Brad shares about a terrible and embarrassing experience he had running through the Magic Kingdom, and it definitely wasn't magical. 

We're sharing some final thoughts about our experience at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights 30, how we are preparing ourselves for the long 13.1 training run this weekend, and a "One Sock Club" nightmare story from Don that happened inside a Porta Potty. 

This week we're recording from Universal Orlando as we're here for Halloween Horror Nights. We're sharing our thoughts on the medals for the Marathon Weekend, sharing about our experience with HHN, and Jonathon is sharing a "one sock club" story that he'll never forget!

We share about our favorite resort hotels for runDisney race weekends and talk about if the new annual passes are worth it for runDisney participants. Double digit long runs are ahead for those following our Dopey training plan!

We're checking in with each other on the challenges and celebrations we are experiencing now that we are a third of the way through our training for the 2022 Dopey Challenge. We're also giving our thoughts on Disney's Genie+ and, of course, we've got a great "One Sock Club" story to share!

We're celebrating the gift of running with others and how they positively impact our runs, training, and lives. We're sharing about our favorite attractions in every park at Walt Disney World.

We reflect upon when we started running and training for longer runs verses where we are today, while knowing there's more work to be done as we prepare for the Dopey Challenge 2022. 

We're being honest and sharing some stories about when we've had to "go" while running (aka "One Sock Club). Also talking a bit about running nutrition and men's running apparel as we continuing our training for the Dopey Challenge, all four races for the 2022 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend.

We're all registered for the Dopey Challenge, all four races for the 2022 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, and in this episode we are talking about submitting times, race corrals, and some tips on running during the heat of summer.

We're into the fourth week of training for the 2022 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend as we prepare for the Dopey Challenge (all four races, 48.6 miles), and this week we're talking about heart rate zones, running mindsets, the Hoka Bondi 7, and preparing for the upcoming race registration.

We're talking about our second week of training for the 2022 Dopey Challenge (4 races and 48.6 miles of running at Walt Disney World), why we love runDisney so much, and what keeps us coming back to run the races at Walt Disney World.

We're talking about our first week of training for the 2022 Dopey Challenge (4 races and 48.6 miles of running at Walt Disney World) as well as our running memories that keep us motivated.
