Ron Reid (pictured here on the Kal-Haven Trail) conquered the Goofy challengeSaturday's run featured 10 and 14 miles of slipping and sliding for the hearty Beyond souls who made the trek. Boston bound Lauren Hollis ended up running 14 miles with the group, and was caught logging several more miles with some friends according to this Kalamazoo Gazette article: http://www.mlive.com/kalamazoo/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-32/12316512404690.xml&coll=7&thispage=1. Altogether, Lauren confessed to having covered 20 miles in Saturday's wild weather.
A few of the Beyond did manage to escape to Florida just in time to escape the deep freeze and run the Disney Marathon. Andrew Vidor cranked out a very respectable 3:48:44 despite some stomach cramps and Mandy Pryor a 4:20:51. Ron Reid took on the ultimate challenge; the formidable goofy challenge by running both the Disney Full and the Disney Half. Ron finished the half marathon in 2:27:15 on Saturday, then turned around and ran a 4:49:37 performance on Sunday in the marathon. Congratulations to our Disney Mickey, Donald and Goofy finishers!
Good luck to those running through Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale next weekend at P.F. Chang's Rock and Roll Marathon!
