147: Balancing Athletic Pursuits and Family Time at Disney

Ever wondered how to balance a love for running with family time, or how to make the most out of your Disneyland race weekend? Join us as we unpack listener questions and share Greg's joyful experience celebrating his daughter's birthday at Disneyland! We'll guide you through essential training schedules for upcoming races, including the Disneyland Halloween Race Weekend and the Wine and Dine Weekend, filled with tips for those gearing up for their very first Run Disney event on the West Coast.

Take a trip down memory lane as we reminisce about Disneyland in 1976, when tiered tickets determined your adventure, and classic attractions like the Matterhorn reigned supreme. Fast forward to the present, where we offer practical advice for navigating race weekends at Disneyland. From meal planning and bag-free races to understanding different security measures compared to Walt Disney World, we’ve got your back to ensure a smooth and magical race experience. Alongside these insights, we'll reveal our unique sports passions and even imagine our Olympic dreams, fostering a connection through shared athletic aspirations.

Our conversation wouldn’t be complete without discussing the invaluable role of supportive partners. Hear our personal stories about how our loved ones encourage and sometimes challenge our frequent Disney escapades. Thinking about dream vacation destinations and hobbies beyond running, we cover bucket list trips from Japan to Australia and personal interests like college basketball and classic cars. Wrapping up with tips on building a welcoming community through our podcast, we encourage you to join the conversation and meet fellow runners at events.
