Musing on the Disney Marathon Weekend.
Do you remember those days in P.E. when you had to run a mile?
I do.
And I remember dreading it.
So why when I reached adult status did I start running miles and miles for
pleasure?
That is a good question. One I’d like to find an answer for myself.
January 8 and 9 was the 18th year of the Disney Marathon.
The next few posts I’m going to profile a women who ran race weekend.
Tomorrow, Morgan County teacher, Karen Spence will tell why she accepted the Goofy Challenge — running the half and full marathons back to back — for the second time.
Then I’ll post the stories of Chris Fankauser Bonham’s marathon run. Chris is a friend from high school who travelled back to Central Florida to run.
Find out what Morgan County’s Kim Sitzmann has to say about her first time running at Disney. She and husband, Dennis, headed to the happiest place on earth with their three boys.
Then I’ll recount my half marathon experience with high school friend Michelle Leporati Tribble. This year even a bum knee couldn’t keep my away from the fun.
Here’s a St. Pete TV News report of a fellow, Rue Morgan, who’s run in every Disney Marathon. Maybe I’ll watch it again to see if I can get any more clues on why I do this?
That was the hardest race I’ve run so far. Thanks for all who supported me. I couldn’t have done it without you! God Bless.
What? Weren’t you still in bed when I got back to the room?
