Rise and Run The RDMTeam

As the final footsteps of the Run Disney season echo in our ears, we bring to you a tapestry of tales, woven with the joyous strides of our Rise and Run family. This episode is a kaleidoscope of memories, from the emotional finish lines to the laughter-laced community meetups, where over a hundred members eclipsed all expectations with their presence. Our shared journey doesn't just encompass the miles we've logged but celebrates every personal best, every first marathon, and the vibrant costumes that turned heads and warmed hearts. With the rustle of race bibs and the swish of tutus, we bring the magic of our springtime surprise weekend to your ears.

Imagine a sea of familiar faces, each one a story waiting to be told.  The generosity of spirit within our community shines through the thoughtful gifts we've exchanged, the cookies we've shared, and the laughter that's become our soundtrack. From the thrill of the  5K adventure to the strategic triumphs at the 10 Miler, we dissect our collective experiences, reveling in the camaraderie and the unexpected joys that only a Run Disney event can deliver.

But it's not just about the races; it's about the connections made and the obstacles overcome together. As we discuss the sweltering challenges of pacing in the spring heat, we shed light on the importance of race etiquette and safety. We recount the tales of runners who've pushed past their limits, and we offer a candid look at the areas where Run Disney could elevate the experience even further. So queue up this episode, lace up your shoes, and let's relive the enchantment of this season's races, the growth of our family, and the untold stories that make every step worth taking.

Strapping on our running shoes, we couldn't help but feel the buzz of excitement for our latest Rise and Run podcast adventure, where the runDisney Springtime Surprise event takes center stage. It's about the thrill of the challenge, the enchantment of running through magical realms, and the shared struggles and triumphs that bind us as a community. Our podcast stitches together these narratives, wrapping you in the camaraderie that only events like the  Stitches' 'Ohana Challenge can inspire.

Imagine swapping the wrestling ring for Hollywood sets and stunt doubles—Taryn Terrell, our guest for this Rise and Run Rewind, knows exactly how that feels. Her journey from pinning opponents to performing daring stunts for the stars, including doubling for Catherine Zeta-Jones, is nothing short of electrifying. Taryn brings to life the connections between the discipline of stunt work and the endurance of running. Her stories, like filming stunts at a Lakers-Pelicans game or her evolution from a self-proclaimed non-runner to a marathon finisher, underscore the theme of transformation that runs deep in this episode.

Finally, we lace up for a series of race reports that showcase the raw, unfiltered experiences of our listeners. From Camille's comeback to Bridget's heartfelt 5K, these aren't just race stories; they're milestones of personal growth. We also peek into the preparation it takes to stand at the starting line, the battle against injuries, and the undying passion that fuels our strides. It's a journey we're all on together, with each step, each race, and each story, encouraging you to find that spring in your step and push beyond what you thought possible. Join us, as we celebrate the power of running to transform lives and foster connections that reach far beyond the finish line.
