The 2013 Wine and Dine Half starting entry fee was $175, without tax. I ended up paying $202 and that included tax and a special race pin for my pin collection. The 2014 wine and dine entry fee is $185, before tax. Additional info ... http://www.rundisney.com/wine-and-dine-half-marathon/

Totally understand. It was a weird feeling for me to visit WDW for 23-24 hours, run a half marathon, and get back to the airport, and not pay to enter the parks. Though I ran through three of the parks at Wine and Dine and walked around World Showcase, it had a weird feeling. Things I normally...

Totally agree. I knew what I was getting in to when I paid $100 plus tax for the 2012 Tower 10 miler, then considered entering the coast to coast challenge for 2013. Now that I have completed 3 Disney-themed races in two states in the course of 13 months, I know I made the right decision to do...

Ha! I raise you $100. I paid $175 plus tax for the 2013 W&D Half. See above ^^^

Totally agree with you Steve. In 2013 I decided to challenge myself with my first-ever coast to coast and succeeded, but I'm still paying for it and others after I committed / ran five half marathons in 2013 and prepaid for a sixth and seventh half in 2014. The fifth half marathon unfortunately...

Lifted from runDisney.com, the prices are consistent with this year's pricing. Nearly $200 to register for the Avengers Half Marathon, $70 for the Super Heroes 5k, and $135 for the pasta in the park party. Gulp. #Hulksmashmybankaccount .... Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon $195 by April 29...

Ran 2.85 miles Thursday through the concrete jungle that is Downtown Memphis in a little over 30 minutes in low 60s temps. Felt okay to start the run but was laboring. Still felt good to complete it. Saturday took advantage of a mid-60s sunny afternoon with a 4.65 mile run that was a...

Been kind of quiet on the boards in recent weeks. Sort of shut down my body after training, running four half marathons the past five months. It's also been cold in Memphis due to the Polar Vortex and colder winter season. But I am back to training for my next half marathon March 16 in...

My prerace night before meal consisted of eating at California Advenuture's Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta. Hit the spot. Economical, too. I even ate at Bengal Barbeque a few times. Those shish-ka-bobs were tasty!

And I thought $175 for registration for the 2013 Disneyland Half was expensive. Glad I decided on the Coast 2 Coast challenge in 2013. Wow.

Traveled back to Ohio to see the family, the cold and the snow. During my stay, on Saturday went to the local fitness club and ran 3 miles on an indoor track. For a mile it was 12 laps. Ran 36 laps in about 27 minutes. Pretty fast for indoors. Felt great, first set of mileage after the previous...

Ran 13.1 miles Sunday morning with 6,999 other marathoners and half marathoners at the Louisiana Marathon and Half in Baton Rouge. This is where it all started for me in 2013. This was my first taste of being a half marathoner. The course is flat and fast, with the exception of a bridge we have...

That is if you are military, retired military, or stay with someone who is. Shades of Green is a very nice resort. It has its charm but it is not overly Disney. It has a few Disney touches, but it looks and feels like an Air Force Inn.

Shades of Green is for military, active and retired. Rooms are like suites and room charge is based on rank structure. I pay $93 a night, with no tax. The hotel has a Starbucks, first on Disney property since 2007-08, has a military mini shoppette where you can even purchase wine and beer and...

Best mode of transportation to and from Orlando International from / to WDW is Mears. Cost you $35 roundtrip. As for on WDW property transportation, the coolest aspect of staying at Shades of Green is that you are free to use WDW modes of transportation and use Shades of Green transportation...

Just under 3 miles, 2.90 to be exact, on a perfect sunny Tuesday afternoon in Memphis for a mid-January day. Mid-50s, southerly head wind, about 35 minutes of lazy running. One more time out, likely Thursday, before Sunday's Louisiana Half Marathon in Baton Rouge. Even better, a weekend with the...

Aww, thanks. There were a lot of eagles representing Team RWB. Some of the team ran the entire Dopey challenge I heard.

First off, congrats to all the runners at this weekend's WDW Marathon weekend! Might join you in 2015 for the WDW Half. After 6 days at the station dealing with the effects of the polar vortex, first full week after the holidays, 4 hours sleep late Friday night, and a long, long day at the base...

Before the bottom falls out and Memphis joins the rest of the nation in sharing the absurdly bone-chilling temps, ran 2.50 miles a little after midnight through Downtown Memphis in 49-50 overcast and very windy temps. Taking my exercise indoors for the next few days after the arctic front...
