Back on the Dopey wagon for next year 🎉 #runDisney #running
I had the privilege of having Jeff Galloway cheer me on (and 10,000 others) at my first half marathon last year. I’ll never forget his kindness and support, nor all of the words of wisdom he imparted though his books and articles. My heart aches at the loss. Hopefully he’s getting in some solid run-walk-run miles in heaven… #running #rundisney #runwalkrun https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/obituaries/jeff-galloway-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.PVA.BfEJ.cRpA7cPvmwmO&smid=nytcore-ios-share
Jeff Galloway, Olympian Who Transformed American Distance Running, Dies at 80

A runner, coach and best-selling author, he created the widely embraced run-walk-run method, which helped make running more accessible to the public.

The #Disneyland10k medal features an enchanted mop on the back part, and then Sorcerer Mickey is actually a separate piece on top that's on a bendy. Again, in the background, for the nod to #Disneyland70, there's a magenta "7" and a light blue "0".

I already heard about the #DisneylandHalf medal featuring it's a small world, so I'm looking forward to seeing that medal tomorrow. #runDisney #Disneyland

As I mentioned, I'm not racing this weekend, but the husband is doing all three #runDisney races at #Disneyland. I'm loving the medals so far, especially with the moving elements. The #Disneyland5k medal featuring Joy from #InsideOut includes the little flower bursts as spinnies. And I would have missed it, but the nod to #Disneyland70 is the purple "7" and orange "0" in the background.

I'm not racing this weekend, but I couldn't resist the #ChipAndDale #runDisney shoes. So cute!!!

The tongue of the shoes and the swoosh with the Brooks label are both flocked.

Writing, Running, and Really weird blisters.

My Three R's
Did my first *official* marathon today at the #runDisney Walt Disney World Marathon weekend. I didn’t get the time I was aiming for (5:08:41 but really wanted something closer to 4:30) but I haven’t really lost any weight this year, plus with the two boys and a girl on the way in less than three weeks I’ve rarely been able to put away more than 10-15 miles in a single day. I’d like to come back when things settle down a bit. It was still a great day of #running
3:38:34 for the marathon. I was treating today as a fun run through the parks. Watched HR, kept the effort down, grabbed a few character photos, and still ran into some gut issues around mile 19. Adjusted plan to walk a bit, then run out the mile for a few repeats instead of trying to power through and it probably saved the race. Humidity and I are mortal enemies. #running #runDisney #Marathon #GoofyChallenge

Wishing for good weather and swift feet to all the #TeamInTraining folks at #RunDisney this weekend #GoTEAM

Remember, when things get tough “you can fly”

Just a little Goofy this year. Half Marathon complete in 1:31:28, played it safe and ran with an eye on my HR in the warm and humid conditions. Some pockets of cool air helped and sped up each of the last 3 miles. https://track.rtrt.me/e/WDW-WDW-2026#/tracker/RAK4695S #running #runDisney #HalfMarathon #GoofyChallenge
