    Crowds at US/IOA during Disney Marathon

    We went to Universal while we were there for the Tower of Terror 10 Miler last year and it was dead. Obviously, it was a different time of year and a different number of runners...but, it is similar in that it was during a typically slower time of year and the runners didn't seem to have much...

On your latest post (GPS) - I use the Garmin Forerunner 10 which is relatively inexpensive and works great. In addition to the regular settings, it has an interval timer which is excellent if you...

    OFFICIAL 2014 WDW Marathon Countdown: WE DID IT! Congrats everyone!

    That's a rough schedule. However, you will still be able to do the half if you want. Last year I went from an all time high of 5 miles to a half marathon in just over 5 weeks using run/walk intervals and by taking one run a week that got progressively longer until I had run 10 miles in training...

    Official 2013 Tower of Terror 10 Miler

    Nothing like that - It is just like admission to the park any other time. There are really no freebies in terms of food/drink/etc. With that said - It's still a blast.

    Official 2013 Tower of Terror 10 Miler

    I am with Ann in that I liked the course overall and was a fan of the run through the woods. I slowed down for this part just so I wouldn't turn an ankle or anything...but seriously, it is a Disney race so I was happy to go slow at points and take it all in.

    Tower of Terror 10 Miler

    We ran the race last year and stayed for the party until they closed the park (boy was I beat the next day) Nonetheless, it was excellent - we were able to ride most things with little lines and got some cool pics. I did a full recap on my site if you want more detail

    Surprise the kids or tell them?

    We told the kids last year - mostly because we booked the trips well in advance and wanted the kids to be excited along with us....it worked out well because they ended up planning along with us...watching the vacation planning video, etc With that said, we are going to run the 2014 marathon...

    Official 2013 Tower of Terror 10 Miler

    You absolutely should run in costume if you participate this year. I ran the race last year but did not dress up...and I was kicking myself the whole night. There were a lot of people dressed up and some really clever costumes. I am a big fan of this race...it was one of my favorites last...

    Official 2013 Tower of Terror 10 Miler

    I did this race last year and had a great time. You can check out my super terrific race recap at my site, if you are interested. Not sure if we can do it again this year though - I am intending to do my first marathon at Disney in January of 2014 and don't know if I can fit two trips in...

    The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler 2013

    I ran this last year and signed up the first day that they opened registration. It sold out pretty quickly, if I remember correctly. It was a blast! There were certainly things that could be improved but it was the inaugural event - so I give them something of a pass! You can check out...
