Well when last I left you I was preparing for my first half marathon at Walt Disney World on January 7, 2012. I had arrived from Denver and enjoyed one awesome day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The busses for the race took off around 3 A.M. Saturday, and so I had forced myself reluctantly to…
Author: Mile High Disney
I live in Denver, CO with my beautiful wife and 2 sons. I grew up in Anaheim, CA just two blocks from Disneyland so my association with Disney began at a young age. I am an avid Disney fan who has grown in his knowledge of all things Disney. We love to take Disney trip and have been to Walt Disney World as well as Disneyland several times in the last few years. I hope to interact with the members as well as have an outlet to share the things of Disney that I know and love.
Realizing the Dream
Well it has been too long since my last post but many things have happened since my last post. I have been writing these last few months on my experience of getting prepared for running in Disney’s Marathon Weekend. I had never run a race of any length longer 5 miles and so embarking upon…
The Finish Line in the Distance
It has been a while since I have posted anything about my upcoming race in January so I thought I would update my progress. I have now reached the one month away point in my training and as the days have ticked by I am getting so excited about this opportunity. My room is booked,…
Running Down a Dream
I know that those words come from a Petty and The Heartbreakers song but on a recent jog those words kept running (no major pun intended) across my mind. I have been checking in with all of you from time to time as I get ready to run my first half marathon in Walt Disney…
Refections on a Birthday
Well tomorrow is my 34th birthday and as I reflect upon that fact, I also realize that Walt Disney World is about to celebrate its 40th birthday on October 1st. Birthday’s can mean so many different things depending on a milestone being reached to the looking back at the time that has gone by. I…
Just Keep Swimming
As the once wise Dorrie told us “What do we do? We just keep swimming!” I don’t often follow the advice of cartoon fish but in my case recently I have found it to be something I go back to. I have begun the long process of training for the Walt Disney Half Marathon in…
Getting Ready to Run!
Well there are many things in my life that I particularly do not like to do. We all have those lists right? Like laundry, cleaning out the gutter on the roof, changing a dirty diaper and one that has always been on my list, running. I love sports and have played sports my entire life…
Impressions from a Mom’s Panel Hopeful
Well I began the now annual journey to see if I could be chose to be a member of the Disney Mom’s Panel. I have attempted each and every year to be chose for the Mom’s Panel with no success. I remember the first year attempting this not necessarily knowing what I was signing up…
Bringing the Magic Home
Jim Croce once crooned “If I could save time in a bottle the first thing that I’d like to do . . .” I can’t say these lyrics were running through my head at the end of my recent Disney vacation, but I know that many Disney fans could change this phrase to “If I…
