How about the Midnight Sun half marathon in Anchorage in June? ... http://www.halfmarathons.net/usa_half_marathons_alaska_mayors_midnight_half_marathon.html How about the Maui Paradise Half Marathon in Hawaii in September? ...

Playing catch-up. Two weeks ago had a very nice 4-day vacation with family in northeast Ohio and western New York. Ran twice, once on my own about 3 miles in low humidity, upper 60s, clear blue skies along Lake Erie, about 3 miles. Much different than the 76 dewpoint, 80-90-percent humidity...

I ran the Disneyland Half in 2013 and the days leading up to it were in the 80s, around 90. Half race morning run time temp was supposed to be around 67-68. Nope it was already 71-74 at 5:30am with moderate humidity. Luckily I started in B corral (yes it was B corrall -- printed on my bib). It...

I was able to get a late check out for the Tower of Terror run at Shades. Normal check out is 11am but I was able to check out by 1pm. Nice that they could do that. Unfortunately for the 2013 Wine and Dine run I had an early flight back and only slept 4 hours after the half marathon. Stayed at...

Nice that Disney is continuing this. I had to walk over to the Polynesian from Shades, but it's better than taking a lot of Disney transportation to just get to a race host hotel like Boardwalk.

Totally have to agree with Texas84 on this. Disney races on fun races with the opportunities to see characters, run through parks. If you are a super fast elite runner then go for breaking a record but for me running three previous Disney races, including the coast to coast challenge in 2013...

Five hours sleep. 6:15 am alarm. Started half marathon training with the Memphis group Saturday morning. It was already in the mid 70s and no wind right before 7am in midtown. Up near 80 before 7am downtown. Only 3 miles in just about 32 minutes. Marathoners ran 6. At least part of the run was...

Ohhh, maybe a desk bell for the bellhop, like they have in the gift shop. Interesting.

I have stayed at Shades of Green numerous times since 2007 and each time I have had a blast. Shades is military and caters to the military. As well Shades has a great relationship with Disney and Disney provides discounted military park hopper tickets. You can purchase at Shades reduced rate...

Unsure how runDisney can redesign the Tower 10 miler finishers medal. It has a spring-loaded elevator and it glows in the dark. Maybe I can see runDisney making the finishers medal into a large element, like the elevator cage. But the Hollywood Tower Hotel with the falling elevator is timeless...

Have to give the cast members big time credit though in playing course monitor and crossing guard where the course crosses from Communicore breezeway. It's the only way to get to the other side of Future World and World Showcase. I was amazed how they controlled that bottleneck in maintaining...

Soarin', Mission: Space, Test Track and Spaceship Earth were open during the 2013 Wine and Dine Half, if I recall. I didn't go on any of the rides, just casually walked around World Showcase downing food and drink.

Ran with my fellow Eagles virtually this Fourth of July weekend covering 4.5 miles in the Virtual Team Red, White & Blue Firecracker 4 miler. Perfect afternoon for a run - low 80s, nice breeze, whispy clouds, right around 50 minutes. We get a finishers medal and a shirt, but that is secondary...

On my dinner break Thursday evening ran the Stars and Stripes 5K in Memphis at the Liberty Bowl. Ran with nearly 2,000 other runners and walkers. Blessed with perfect conditions - upper 70s, low humidity, a rarity around July in the South. Didn't realize it but thought I finished 32-something...

On the morning of my birthday Tuesday -- turned the big 4-4, though a lot of friends and coworkers say I look in my mid-30s -- decided to put in 4.4 miles. Only got to just about 4 miles in the hazy heat and 100-percent humidity in Downtown Memphis. Wanted to run at 9:30am when it was a...

Forgive me fellow Disney runners for it has been 3.5 months since I last ran a half marathon. No, wait, is running 10 nautical miles (11.5) qualify as almost a half? Anyway my training is underway for the Rock n Roll Cleveland Half in Ohio in October. Anyone running this half marathon with me...

In May ran 2 5ks in Memphis, both under 30 with average time of 28:30 / 28:35. Also entered in to run the 2014 St. Jude Half in Memphis as a St. Jude Hero in December (praying for the run not to be canceled due to weather like it did in 2013), and will be entering into the Rock n Roll Cleveland...

Ran 29:54 in a 5K in Downtown Memphis that started and finished on Beale Street on March 22 for a Memphis-area charity that supports the Ronald McDonald House. I broke 30 minutes. Race started after rain cleared the downtown district but it was windy and in the 50s. Sweated, drank a lot of...

Ran 2:30.37 in the Germantown Half Sunday morning, very hilly suburb east of Memphis. Temps were in the low 60s, overcast with spits of rain and there was a coolness to the air (as temps are falling through the day Sunday and Memphis could get some flurries as a cold front passes through)...
