Disney Marathon Weekend -- The Fort and LOTS of Running Fun


Recommended Posts

The also have android and iPhone apps. I use the iPhone one. It's great because it signals you to run or walk, so you don't have to worry about it.

Which one do you have? I found several. I'm doing the walk briskly for 30 minutes 3 times a week for two weeks before I start the run than walk program. I don't know if the one I downloaded tells you when to walk/run.

I googled "couch to 5k" and I found a plan I'm going to try. Thanks. Ed.

I've used the one by Bluefin in the past, so that's the one I downloaded again. I think it's $2. I can play my own music, and it tells me when to walk and when to run.

Great job!

 

How do you get 7 medals out of 4 runs?

 

Let's see some photos!

Wow, Ed.

That is seriously awesome!

Thanks for sharing those photos.

And let's not forget to give props to Katman/Jason for lugging that wheelchair all the way from chowderland for you.

Ditto.

Jason is awesome!

 

We need to get back to this trip report! Yoo Hoo? ??? Where are you Olaf?

 

You know, the more I think about it, I think more people need to know Ed's background and the whole story here.

 

This is a man with serious, serious medical issues, but he still trained for and completed these races.

 

What an inspiration!

 

Maybe Ed could do a little trip report of his own, since we are kind of hijacking the hapless snowman's report.

Short update - Thrill/Olaf will chime in shortly.  We had a great trip but returned home with loads of work to catch up on and colds we caught from his dad.  I was able to see him during the half and full marathon at a few places but didn't get pics.  Finding your favorite runner in that immense crowd is unreal!

I don't mind the hijacking at all!  I've enjoyed hearing about Ed's races too -- and enjoyed meeting him at the Fort.

 

Olaf will post this evening, complete with pictures.  I'll tell you this much for now: running as Olaf is like being a rock star!

First, I have to say I find the title of this TR somewhat comical……."running fun"???  To many, those words just don't go together!  I dabble, and enjoy it, but wouldn't categorize it as fun.  OK, perhaps running through Disney parks could be kind of fun.  I get the RunDisney updates on my FB page and have to admit, it does look fun and is something I would probably do if I could get down there.

 

Seriously, though, I stand in awe of you and Ed.  It is one thing to complete one race!  And, from reading this I see you have inspired at least one other person to improve their well-being.  Bravo, gentlemen!
