What All Runners Need to Know About the runDisney Medical Team

February 16, 2018 By D Marie 4 Comments

runDisney Medical Team

After dozens and dozens of runDisney contests, it was my turn. Oh, I had attempted early on in the life of the franchise to volunteer as a medical volunteer, but the process was complicated and disjointed. In general, the runDisney volunteer process (for all positions) has greatly streamlined itself in the past couple of years. During the 2017 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, this princess turned physical therapist finally had the opportunity to trade in her running shoes for a stethoscope. Let me share what every runner should know about … [Read more...]

Running motivation master Jeff Galloway is at it again. The Olympian who introduced the sport of running to hundreds of thousands with his Run Walk Run method (formed in 1976) has just upped the game. Think of it as incentive squared. Recognizing that goals are an important factor in continuity and long-term fitness success, Jeff has developed a year-long challenge for runners and walkers alike. Choose 2018 miles, 2018 kilometers (1254 miles), 675 miles (or a quarter of the 2018), or a cumulative, team event for the 2018. The true strength of  … [Read more...]

How runDisney Saved My Butt. No, Really.

November 22, 2017 By D Marie 18 Comments

It's not all tutus, tiaras, and Trader Sam's. Over the past six years, the runDisney brand has been all that and more; camaraderie, sunsets over Cars Land and World Showcase, and many, many a celebratory dinner. See the world! The side effect (even if unintended) of same? Fitness. My physical therapist self kinda knew this all along, but to be honest it was a backdrop to the magic and medals in my timeline. Until now... The invisible side effect of my twenty half marathons and umpteen 5Ks? Core strength. My oh my, that came in … [Read more...]

Jeff Galloway 2017/2018 Running Event Guide

April 18, 2017 By D Marie 1 Comment

By now you must know my affinity for Olympian Jeff Galloway; he is THE reason (well, with the runDisney alliance, of course) that I began running at the age of 53. HE is the number one reason I have gone injury-free for the past six years. (The physical therapy background is a distant second.) Watching yesterday's Boston Marathon got me motivated to move things to the next level. I am registered in the local Jeff Galloway Long Island Training Program and I'm ready to run. Which one of the following races will I be seeing YOU at?? JEFF'S … [Read more...]
