Being Disney creative is like breathing, easy

Running along Orange County Road 535 near Disney
Ahhh, the good old days of running in the dark.

 

Disney running partners
jeff noel and Djuan Rivers out for a run yesterday.

 

Djuan has an 8am steering committee meeting every Wednesday. Wednesday’s are my easy days.

We synched our calendars so we could both enjoy a leisurely run together.

It’s a 5k from my mailbox to Djuan’s.

Turned out to be 11 miles of LSD (long, slow, distance).

Have a rare running partner this morning

Disney Cast Member Only door sign
In a way, this morning’s run is Cast only.

 

Heading across the street to Keene’s Point to run this morning with 25-year friend Djuan Rivers. We met as colleagues for Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club opening team in 1990.

Djuan recently completed a marathon in Antarctica. He’s also parachuted over Mt Everest too. He has an extensive list of extreme adventures.

He has been insanely successful at Disney.

Never intended to run a half-marathon yesterday

Masters Track World Championships starting blocks
August 2009, Lahti, Finland, Masters Track & Field World Championships.

 

Never intended to run a half-marathon yesterday.

But am no longer surprised at logging three miles of warmup before the actual track workout. And three miles of cool down is also no longer a surprise.

Just warming up and cooling down is farther than i ran between 1999 – 2014. Retirement blew things up.

Simply running enough 400-meter intervals, with a 400-meter walk between each can cover six miles, if you do 12 x 400-meters.

Two weeks into track work and the times are coming down. Slow and steady.
