Alrighty! A second week down for my run every day until the end of August challenge – and I am still going and going fairly strongly at this point as well. A total of 25.5 miles over the past 7 days with the longest run being 7 miles, three runs of 4 miles, one run…

I made it through week 1 of my run every day until the end of August challenge! So a bit of a recap of what I am trying to do here – my running has fallen off and I am trying to get it back and I am trying to do that by forcing myself…

Ok – tomorrow I can sign up for the Walt Disney World Marathon…am I going to? I don’t know at this point and it is chewing me up mentally and physically. It is an expensive thing to do and if I am not going to do it properly it isn’t worth the cost. Can I…

Alrighty – so things have definitely gone off the rails here for the past while. I had great intentions to get blogging and running again to train for the Manitoba Marathon in June 2018…but I ran into some issues. For a year or so, I struggled with my right Achilles tendon and right knee and…

Ok – week 1 of 18 for training for the Manitoba Marathon on Father’s Day. Three runs this week on the treadmill – couple short sessions outside with the pups and some snowshoeing with the wife and kids today. I am still short on my miles but I will talk a bit more about that…

After the 10k race was done earlier in the morning and we had some breakfast we headed into Epcot for a bit for some fast passes we had. But I had to skip out on Soarin’ to head back to the Boardwalk area to get to the Atlantic Dance Hall for the Cigna Blogger /…

This will be another quick write up – this time for the Walt Disney World 10k run that I did with my son (11) on Jan 5th, 2018.   It was his first 10k run and he had done the 5k with the rest of the family yesterday so I knew he was going to…

Below is a quick, almost point form, race report for the Walt Disney World 5k 2018 race that I did with Heather and the kids. Sorry if it feels rushed – we just got back a couple days ago and things have been hectic and I want to get something out while things are still…
