Another Running Weekend!


Over 300 miles in just the first 2 weeks. Amazing. I am always impressed with this group. Some amazing marathons were run in the past week! Make sure you visit everyone's blog and check out what happened!

Have a good run this weekend, everyone. I'll be getting my old legs out again (finally).

Report those runs and have fun!

Chicago - Our Running Delegation!


Charlie, Maddy, Petra, Melisa


Melisa & Bill

I thought that I would post some pre-event pictures. Remember that this Blogsite is where we met and decided to go to Chicago!

Notice the shirts! I was called by name so many times that I lost count! They were also printed on the back.

In addition to this website (with a special logo design), and the Chicago Marathon, they also extolled the World Wide Festival of Races and named each individually.

Marathon Coordination


Hi everyone...

I was beginning to realize that there are lots of folks running Disney (more than I have been able to keep count of). I wondered if we could use this website or set up an email list to coordinate a meet up there! I don't even recall everyone that is planning to run.

So let's begin with the list of runners and go from there...


MarathonChris and husband - running Half and Full marathons (Goofy)
Maddy - running Half and Full marathons (Goofy)
Rachel - running marathon
Gordon (Running to Disney blog) - running marathon
Adam T - running marathon
NyLisa - running marathon

10-14: Added NY Lisa - who is running Disney as her second race.


Who have I missed?

Take a moment this week and let us know what your next event is and when you'll be running it!

Have a run weekend! Umm... Err... Fun weekend!

VRR Update for September 19, 20 & 21


Again... I have to say it! What a group of runners!

It doesn't matter to me if you are a Bad Girl of Running or a Bad Boy of Running!

What an inspiration. I really should have bumped up the total for the month! I know that I have a 20 - 22 mile run on Saturday morning. Can I make it? With inspiration from the rest of you, I know that I can! Hmmm... I wonder if the training I've put in counts for anything?

Congratulations on some great miles!

Don't forget to report your miles!

Good luck, good skill!

Wait! Is it September 12th? Why I just happen to have a marathon coming up! October 12th in Chicago! Me, some of the people on here and about 44,997 other runners!!

Listen... If you are in training for an event, let the rest of us know where and when! We'd all like to encourage you to your best event yet!

Don't forget to leave your miles after your run!

Good luck and even better, Good training and skill development!

AND... How does everyone taper down to an event?

VRR - The Start of September!



We did a great job in August! We surpassed our goal by 64 miles! What a group of runners we are!

I have placed 300 miles as our goal for September (75 miles per weekend). Is that good? Should we do more? Less? Let's talk about it...

Remember to report your miles that you run on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday!

Congratulations go to MarathonChris for sponsoring the "Run For The Fallen" on Runner+. I believe that group of runners did substantially more than 8,000 miles! That IS a great result!

I know that I will have some long runs this month, After all, the Chicago Marathon is on October 12th.

Let's have another great month!

I need to stop now... I just keep runnin' on and on...
