we have several he is a former marine but he's one of a few handful that has done every goofy challenge and every dopey challenge the walt disney marathon got to learn all about these intriguing races the choice to bring her back you well you just that number fourteen i think the fourteenth goofy challenge on friday half marathon saturday and a marathon on sunday now when you do with both the goofy and the challenges you get an extra medal for each one you get one for each  the four races and then they throw in the goofy medal and the doping medal ok so it's a lot of hardware i did the goofy one year and now it's a challenge enough to do the the half hour and a hand because you could get warm even though i started early that's actually this year was pretty warm i got up to seventy eight degrees and those of us in the marathon i remember a mile seventeen you know where mile twenty two is which is only a couple hundred yards away but we still had to go through the sports complex and come out i remember as i came out i was nearing the twenty two mile mark i could see the runners on the other side and it looked like the walking dead actually yes and the thing is we don't need make of you're not naturally dead yes a destiny events are not meant to do your personal best to really entertainment because you're going through  complex complex and in fact are starting places you could stop and take photos this to characters that is correct and sometimes i wonder about the five k the line looks like it's going to be ten or fifteen minutes long why would you want to and take pictures in the marathon i open up a little stuff once by the morticians they had a casket out there and i think a runner didn't make it go she was reaching out of the casket for hel little sense of humor there because of human right and didn't make the other thing about the marathon and the dopey challenge now i got there probably about eight twenty five in the morning and the park isn't open to the guests yet but i remember in prior years when i got there after nine runners were waiting on line to go on the everest ride which includes a backward loop and a spiral turn vacation club members so they give them a little added extra perks actually in the past i did get it because i did this new credit card they sent me early notice from what i found out this year those of us who a perfect in that dopey they thought they would do away with the perfect stuff if the twenty five years but instead they give her free entry now for all the races marathons after the twenty first one she doesn't have to pay for them really but i'm sure she has to pay if she stays at the hotel when all that's dark and stiff so it's thursday friday saturday sunday so when you get there we get there on tuesday which is the day before you can pick up your numbers on wednesday ok they have to ex know i think they have a whole thing for everything under the sun perhaps so what if you go to high school i went to stuyvesant high school in manhattan oh don't ask me how i got in but i passed the test didn't have showers and they had a truck which is on the second level in the pathway there were two columns that kind of had to squeeze in together was aslant the track and was thirty three times around for a mile is what they said get dizzy after a while yes you got yes but now you have to do a lot to make you turn around half way no we never there was a circular track but we don't think and that's where abraham lincoln gave his right makes my speech and he allegedly went over to mcsorley's after that speech and actually even when i was in college there was a men's keep it up because who knows what would happen with those bridges and tunnels and everything now i wasn't doing well in school so i decided to go into the service had been a party and i was telling this guy that they can go into the army but he was a marine reservist i said what if you try the marines instead so i that gullible me  in the sound body with their motto the suckles which means the hawks i believe so you went off to vietnam yes actually when i was on leave i visited my recruiter and he told me that he would be probably being shipping over to vietnam sometime in january or february and i did sixty eight yeah so we left case on a july fifth one nine hundred sixty eight we went to so they kept the twenty years i want to thank you for your service i mean if you know wars was horrible and this country with a lot of grief when you've returned how were you greeted the only one that ever said welcome home was the what was then called  the thing is they were probably just resting kids who were on the drugs already and you know do anything about it but one thing you know when they had the tet offensive yeah my mother wrote me a letter she said the first line is de i think you joined at the wrong time because this fighting all over vietnam got a treasure that but you some five any injuries one struck the moat around might so that was the worst of it we had once around law was looking in a book for possible careers and everything i went to queensboro community college when it during the day and i worked at a shoe store in the evening hours  birthday her birth date is what forrest gump got wrong in the movie on a saturday morning last wish it was because he said remember he said jenny died on a saturday hi hi well then they show the picture of the tombstone which said march twenty second one thousand nine hundred two that was a monday cause that was the date it's breast cancer but i remember i was in the hospital with my sister and my wife was on the gurney outside and here the doctors are inside talking about i know you do a lot of a lot of marathons to new york city many many times i think eight or nine times but i've done a lot of a lot of running and as i had a lot of people well i try to while you're marina you t to yes i'd probably seventy to seventy five oh my god actually priscilla you know priscilla well when i met her she was to head of the new york city chapter of the gallery when it grew right  galloway that's where we met right correct while i started running in two thousand and three ok so so had to be so i probably joined callaway two thousand and five was shortly after i did my first marriage what was your first marathon japanese get to like to help you and they see you at the end you see the finish line but no you have to go beyond it and then turn around and come back that part i don't remember that was my first marathon after south carolina and it was a three mile run with the build up to that here with the gear combat boots and utilities with long sleeve utilities a helmet a backpack and an m fourteen rifles pretty have but we did three miles in twenty seven minutes now i can't even do that with shorts and a t shirt on well you probably want twenty to one thing night is he still he was all prepares point of view they change the forms quite a bit to ten what do you mean yes yes i suppose b c they have yeah i know it's like the ten forties two pages and they have like six schedules you put information on which flows to  the four sheets but i was looking i was just doing you know i have some information on my own so it's just and put some information and then if you look at the column that add lines one through five and it didn't add up to the number that was on line six they put capital gains on a separate instead thing but they don't want then a five that is being part of the additions you have to make it just not piled it up one book on top of the other was taller than he was so we had to bring it to the general post office on thirty fourth street but it's no longer open till midnight so i think the post office is making a big big mistake  in the old days for the new york city marathon you had to go to the general post office so be postmarked after midnight so you know where the front steps are that's where the end of the line started and it went all the way around the block and the metals extra special i think was at the twenty fifteenth or the twentieth marathon they made the mickey medal a surprise in other words you don't see it until you get it nowadays if you go to an ex right running wise well i think you should thank the volunteers all the races because in the disney marathon they're out there at two in the morning our races start if life thirty in the morning and the weather c golf courses and there was water but sometimes it has started at sixty degrees ninety something percent humidity tears are there in the volunteers already out there something you probably don't see in new york you can see venus and
