A few months ago I got in the mood to run my first marathon and since I’m always looking for an excuse to head to Disney World, I decided the Walt Disney World Marathon was the obvious choice (though, in full disclosure, there are other marathons out there).

Many people think that there’s only the training aspect to consider when planning for a […]
I’ve always wanted to run a marathon. This is partly because I’ve always respected the challenges of the marathon and the physical strength and mental rigor of the marathon runner. To me, the marathon has always been one of those life’s challenges, a bucket list item, if you will, similar to climbing Mt. Everest or […]
