Come join us to Celebrate the life of Peyton Moore!

The Tiny Terror

Today, I wanted to write about an upcoming race that’s dear to my heart, the Wild and Wacky Ultra 5K in memory of Peyton Moore. The run is on March 14, 2015, at Middleton Place, just outside Charleston, SC.

The son of my friends Noah and Jennifer Moore, Peyton loved to run and encourage others to, especially the Couch to 5K program that his dad coaches. But Peyton was also very well-rounded kid. Not only did he run, he also played football and wrestled, threw javelin, loved art, and excelled in school. Peyton loved his parents, family, friends, dog, and the Charleston running community.

Peyton passed away in June 2013 following a seizure, but probably inspired more people in his nine years than most people do in their entire lives. I ran with Peyton a few times, and his sweet spirit is one that all runners- and all people- should…

Ending our Virtual Magic Kingdom Trip with a Journey into Tomorrow

Posted by DoombuggyRunner on October 20, 2014

My friend Greg over at whyirundisney.com concludes his virtual tour of the Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom with a tour through Tomorrowland!

Why I runDisney

This is our last stop on the Virtual Magic Kingdom tour. We’re heading to Tomorrowland. Are you ready to head into the world of Tomorrow? Or at least Disney’s version? Okay, it’s not exactly the Tomorrowland that Walt envisioned. However, it’s a super fun place to visit. So, let’s get started.

We’re going to start off with Stitch’s Great Escape. This is one of those times where the Virtual trip is sadly lacking. Part of the fun of this attraction is being there as it is an attraction that engages your senses. Plus, there are some parts of this attraction where everything goes dark. So, the video might not be as fun as being there. If you’ve never experienced this attraction, this video will give you some idea of what it is like to visit.

Stitch’s Great Escape replaced The Extra TERRORestial Alien Encounter. There are…

runDisney: TRAIN FOR LONGER RACES

Posted by DoombuggyRunner on July 12, 2014

Inside The Mouse House

Ready to go longer?  The beauty of running is that there’s always another mile to run—or another longer race distance to conquer. And runDisney races, with the Goofy Race and a Half Challenge and the Glass Slipper Challenge and other awesome multi-day challenges, make going longer very attractive. Hello bling: 4, 5, 6 medals in one weekend!

Thing is, although we’ve heard of plenty of people doing it, it’s probably not the wisest idea to jump into a half marathon or a full marathon without running shorter races and getting your body adjusted to running regularly. When you go from minimal miles to training for a marathon, you’re inviting injury and burnout.

You may finish that 26.2, but chances are, you may not want to step foot near another starting line for years—or ever. Which isn’t, you know, how we like things to end. We want as many runners…

Independence Day Fireworks at the Disney Theme Parks

Posted by DoombuggyRunner on July 3, 2014
Posted in: Disney, Pyrotechnics, ReBlog.

As a certified pyro technician and Disney fan, check out my friends post of all the various Disney July 4th shows. I have fireworks shows the next 3 days. Next week I hope to have a few posts from the shows.

Why I runDisney

I don’t know how it is at Walt Disney World, but Independence Day (July 4th) is one of the two busiest days of the year for Disneyland (along with New Year’s Eve). So, rather than braving the crazy crowds for the special Independence Day fireworks shows, thanks to the wonders of technology, we can enjoy them on You Tube.

For my money, this show is vastly superior to the current Magical show Disneyland has going on for the summer.

Apparently, the Magic Kingdom has the same music with some slightly different fireworks.

Over at Disney California Adventure they add a pre-show to the World of Color to celebrate Independence Day. I absolutely love this addition. In case you’re wondering, they do have the normal World of Color show right after this pre-show. Over the years that World of Color has been around, it’s been fun to watch how Disney…

Running in the Summer Heat

Posted by DoombuggyRunner on June 11, 2014
Posted in: ReBlog.

Just a reminder about running in the Summer Time! Stay safe out there.

DoomBuggy Runner

Here in the south we have hit the 90s with 100% humidity almost daily.  With that, I thought I would post a few reminders from Jeff Galloway for running in the summer heat.

1) Run before the sun gets above the horizon.  Get up early during warm weather and you will significantly reduce the dramatic stress increase due to sunlight.  This is particularly a problem in humid areas. Early morning is usually the coolest time of the day, also.  Without having to deal with the sun, most runners can gradually adapt to heat.  At the very least, your runs will be more enjoyable.

2) If you must run when the sun is up, pick a shady course. Shade provides a significant relief in areas of low humidity, and some relief in humid environments.
3) Evening and night running is usually cooler in areas with low humidity. In humid environments there…

Top 5: Things Every Disney World Fan Should Know About Disneyland

Posted by DoombuggyRunner on May 18, 2014
Posted in: ReBlog.

This will come in handy in August when we go to Disneyland for the first time.

Modern Mouse Radio

Most of the folks on the East Coast make frequent vacations to Walt Disney World in Florida and insist that it is the only Disney resort worth visiting. That’s a false statement. As a previous East Coaster and having had my only experiences of Disney Parks at Walt Disney World, I have to tell you that Disneyland is a wonderful place. Having gone this past month, it opened my eyes to many of the misconceptions Walt Disney World fans have about Walt’s original theme park in Anaheim. Here are 5 things you should know about Disneyland if you have never been.

5. The temperature is not the same as Florida – California is much dryer than Florida, so when the weather forecast calls for an 85 degree Fahrenheit day in CA, it is not the equivalent feeling to the same temp in FL. It…

The Tiny Terror

My friend Alex shared this video on her blog today (if you’re looking for blogs to read, check hers out; she lives and runs here in Charleston for part of the year).

This is a must-watch for all runners, so I had to repost.The song lyrics are beautiful, along with watching the other runners. The video and song capture the spirit of running, regardless of pace, distance, or location. It certainly lifted my spirits, even after a less-than-stellar training run tonight.
