Happy Mother's Day to Suzanne - my running partner, my encourager, my best friend.
She's the reason I started running at Disney in the first place. She's the reason I keep going.
Twenty-one more days until Disney Destiny. Castaway Cay together. π’β€οΈ

Finished Disneyland Half on Sunday. It clarified something: I want to run these races, not cover them. So I'm refocusing runDis Dad on what actually helps - starting with a free 75-day training plan for challenge weekends: rundisdad.com/p/what-disneylβ¦

Post-race recovery tip: The 48 hours after matter.
Gentle walking, hydration, protein, SLEEP.
Your body rebuilds when you rest. Don't rush back.
