Thanks for the info on the Disney Marathon. I'm planning on running it in 2011 and MAY do the goofy challenge! I'll probably be asking you info about where to stay, etc. later.

Thanks again and congratulations!

From a fellow runner, higher-ed teacher, newly minted marathoner, and Disney enthusiast, that was a great race report - congratulations! I just had a chance to run the inaugural Royal Family 5k through Epcot in March and it was a lot of fun. The Disney marathon is now on my to-do list...

great race report - I know exactly how you feel...that weeping at the end. NOTHING compares to completing the first marathon - and for you after so much anticipation (almost 2 years).

See you back at Disney!

Absolutely excellent! Gosh I wish I could make it in 2011 -- but I'm afraid my little Isaac will be to small to remember it.

I am so darn impressed with you, Gordon. I'd love to make it to Alabama one day to run with you, you marathoner!

Congratulations on completing your first marathon!...

Congratulations on completing your first marathon!!

Glad you enjoyed the race and visit to Orlando. Weather in Central FL is very finicky and wouldn't you know it, it's pretty cold this weekend. But you finished and that's all that matters. Enjoy your recovery -- you earned it!!

Wow, what an AWESOME race report. I was wondering...

Wow, what an AWESOME race report. I was wondering how the rest of the race went for you. This report makes me wanna cry! I'm sorry about starting out too fast. What an inspiring story. If this doesnt encourage others to run their first marathon, I don't know what will! I'm sure your family is very proud. I'm not such a great writer, so my report will be on my podcast.

Gordon, I could completly relate to everything you said as I experienced the exact same emotions even with the family. I cried when I hugged my wife at the end. The kids were sending text saying "ur a beast Dad". Hopefully I will be there next year. I am updating my blog as well, hope you get a chance to read it.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome race report! Preston will remember that day the rest of his life. He may have inspired you, but rest assured that you inspired him far more. Congratulations on a great race. It looks like it was 10 times what you expected for you and your family.
