I can NOT think of a better way to come back to work then watching a RezRun vlog. You are an inspiration my friend and love the video. BTW i have been watching all your Dopey training videos from last year, for motivation. Your videos are timeless my friend. Happy running, see you soon.
That's great Buddy. Don't be late for work. LOL I really wanted to put up more weekly training videos this Summer but I think the fact I didn't enlist in the Challenges ... being way behind on the recaps and my worsening vision ... nixed that plan. I am looking forward to Race Weekend in January though.. something about planning for these weekends. Oh ... the Disney Magic.
Your videos create opportunities for so many people (Rez Runs fans 😀) to come together and celebrate what they love doing! I enjoy listening to all the people saying hello to you during your races that appreciate your videos. I hope to enjoy a fabulous Star Wars Weekend like this someday. Great 👍🏼 job 🏅 I bet the bling is incredible!
Hey K. Definitely hope you get to do a SW weekend too. I am always amazed at everyone who says "Hi!" Some of it comes from being visually impaired and forgetting what it's like to see faces and "people watch." It is humbling and flattering they pick me out of the crowd and stop me. I agree... it's a terrific (yet exhausting) shared activity .. a few of us appreciate and enjoy.
I love that you had several awesome running friends for this race. That makes these already fun races that much more enjoyable. It certainly looked like a hot one. Here's hoping the weather cooperates for these upcoming fall races and things start to cool down.
I go back and forth on whether I like to run alone or have "handlers." LOL They help me "see" things I often miss... but it's also nice to explore. I am definitely looking forward to running in anything less than 80-degrees and 95+ humidity... I've been pushing it so I can take it easy during the "Magic Run" and enjoy the experience.
Thank you for humoring me Emily. I'm glad you ... and a few others were able to keep me entertained and make these videos a bit different this year. Hope to see you again soon.
Love all the interaction with the other runners! So much fun!!! Looking forward to the half marathon video! Also hope you have a meet up for Wine and Dine! Bon courage mon ami, bon courage a DLP! 👍🏼
Merci beaucoup my friend! I'm excited and anxious after soooo much trip planning for this one. Hopefully, I will see you at Wine & Dine... planning for a Meet Up along with Joyful Miles before the After Party (Sun Night) near Mouse Gears and the main stage
Great job Rez...again you produce a quality product! I think I saw where I ran right by you. Sorry I didn't notice as I guess I was "in the zone" :) I did notice that this video had a different feel to it...more footage of the different runners and star wars fans. Way to mix it up and keep it fresh! Thank you for keeping us all motivated!
Thanks Brian... I was going for something different this time... the videos all seem to run together and are getting more difficult because the theme is the same every time. LOL I did appreciate everyone who humored me and my silly questions. Don't worry about being in "The Zone." With my visual impairment, I'm in the zone... or my own little bubble the whole time.
Love the video, and awesome music! Not a big fan of Nicki, but this song with this footage gave me goosebumps! Hope to meet you in Paris, getting so close now.
This brings back great memories as this was my first Disney 10k ever. With being a Cast Member I ran past my coworkers on my way to the finish line. I ran with my Girlfriend for this race. I knew everyone that had Buses and Vans along the course. Can't wait to run my first 1/2 in the future
That's so awesome. Congratulations. I love firsts. I will always remember my first Half ... because it was at Disney running through the Castle. It must be pretty amazing to know so many people out there while you are running... I always wondered what it was like as a Cast member. I have a few friends who work in PR and Marketing ... who have done the races. Hopefully I'll see you out there when you tackle your first Half.
Well I will be running the 5k for the Wine and Dine this year and hope to get into the 10K if they open it up. Not lookling like that will happen. I will be running the WDW Marathon weekend 5k and 10k. I did sign up for the Star Wars 2019 5k and 10k. Looking to run my first half for Wine and Dine 2019.
It is great knowing lots of the Race Staff as that is incentive to finish the race and not get SAGed as I would not live it down if my co-workers would SAG me. It was great running by one of my Managers heading in to Studios during this race. She was in shock as I was running in the race.
Another great video Gerald and I love the way you chat to everyone as it shows how welcoming and friendly the Disney races are. Hope to make the meet up in Paris - not long now . . .where is the time going?
Thank you .. these recaps are getting increasingly difficult to edit ... to make different. I am trying to pay attention to nat sound and music during the event to guide me .. but it's not easy. (I'm also too picky ... they're taking me too long. )
@@RezRuns The production in your videos is awesome; it's always been. It's good to be picky!! I cant wait to see the videos from Paris!!! Oh and you didn't ask but my face movie is Empire and my favourite character, Leia.
Love the video! I really enjoyed this race. Your recap of the whole experience brings it all back. Thank you for making and sharing this RezRuns production! Any chance you would let me run the whole Star Wars 10k with you next year?
Absolutely ... if I make it that far. LOL Actually, it's more IF you don't mind my crazy pacing which you got a short sample of for the last half of the race... run, run, run ... and stop! run, run... video... stop .. video... chat! IT's why I train so hard during the year.
I don't mind your race pace > run, run, stop, video, run, questions.... I really enjoyed meeting you, Scott, and Karen, and just watching you work your magic. Pacing with you helped me greatly this year, so I would love to do it again. Will Scott and Karen be there next year? I think I heard Heather say her whole family will be at Star Wars races next year. Should be a great time! I saw the first Star Wars movie in the theater 13 times with my brother. Loved that movie. However, my favorite character is Ray. I have three daughters so I like strong female characters. Also, she has a cool connection with the force. I saw in another comment that you are planning the meet up for Wine and Dine before the after party. Awesome! I am getting to Orlando mid-day Saturday and was sure I would miss it. Now I know I can still meet up with you and the others.
You know ... it's crazy, tough planning anything as a sightseeing tourist in Paris. I'm getting a real taste of everyone's medicine who travel to central Florida for the races trying to fit it ALL in .. and run, run, run. :) See you soon.
Right! Oh that got a big chuckle. It was such a great excuse for a European adventure. Who else would run a race at 8PM followed by two races at 7AM on consecutive days ... and eat all of that rich, glorious French food?
Who’s that handsome Dude at min 15:30, G awesome to meet you for that split second, my buddy and I have been following your videos while we were deployed overseas and we came home signed up for this run. Your videos were a big inspiration keep up the great work. Hope to see you during the 2019 marathon and the rival run brotha.
That's awesome Brian! Is that you flashing a smile for a fraction of a galactic second?!?! Thanks for your service my friend. Definitely hope to see you both weekends. Thanks for the motivation. These videos aren't easy for me and I've gotten so behind this year (by months...) It's nice to know they're appreciated.
I just signed up for this Challenge for 2019. I've never done a challenge before, so I am trying this out before going Dopey in 2020. I've done the marathon several times, so I'm not worried about the mileage for this one, just the logistics of getting up at 2:00 AM on consecutive days.
You're going to do great! If you tackled Marathons... you've got the Challenge down. Hey ~ Disney is all about lack of sleep and adrenaline anyway.... Plus you get the cook. extra medal. See you for Rival Run!
Great video! I made in @ 1:20. Again, nice meeting you. I'll be there for the 2019 Saturday, April 6 - Sunday, April 7 Star Wars Rival Run Challenge. Did you ever get that photo of you reaching for the lightsaber?
Are you running the Rival Run 2018 and of so, which side are you on? My daughter and are are running the Dark Side 10k. Your videos are inspiring! Thanking for taking the time to vlog and share!
Yes ... I will be doing both the 10K & Half. I picked the Light Side for 2019 .. since I've done Dark Side for three years in a re tow... You and your Daughter are going to have a blast. See you there.
Hey Jennifer ... yes. I signed up ... and I believe Heather is making the trip. It should be a great weekend ... looking forward to seeing you in April.
The videos take a long time? Quality is the key here not speed. (That's what I tell myself when I run a Disney race.) Great video as always Gerald. See you in Paris.
Do I sense a bit of sarcasm? LOL Tell you what... with 4+ hours of video for each race, thousands of indivisual edits and about 80+ hours for each recap ~ it's been killin' me.. especially with my visual impairment. Thank you for the compliment. I may have to cut back and not do so many videos for each race weekend. Definitely keep an eye out for me at DLP ... maybe at the meet up. See you soon.
No sarcasm at all :) Your videos of these events are the best out there. They really communicate the flavour and feel of the races. The Star Wars races are the only WDW races I have not run (yet). But, thanks to your videos, I have a fair idea what to expect when I do. I really appreciate all the work and effort you put in and am impressed that you produce such high quality entertaining output.
Yes... GoPro Hero 6, Feiyu Tech G5 gimbal and a Tascam DR-10L digital voice recorder... although the recorder stopped working early ... so you can kind of hear the crappy GoPro audio in this one. ... hoping for some GoPro improvements in the coming year.
Funny, my good microphone actually stopped working before the fireworks... and it took me 'til editing this to hear that young guy say he found me. ... and then, he just took off leaving me in the dust. LOL
Can't wait for the races this year! My first runDisney Challenge and I am psyched!

Awesome video! Can't for the Rival run weekend.
Me too... excited to see how they mix it up after a few years of the same ol' same ol' ... see you there.
@@RezRuns and I'm hoping just a little that even thought star wars land wont officially be open maybe they will at least let us run through it. 🤞
I love that you had several awesome running friends for this race. That makes these already fun races that much more enjoyable. It certainly looked like a hot one. Here's hoping the weather cooperates for these upcoming fall races and things start to cool down.

Had such a good laugh seeing myself in your interview videos! Brought back a lot of fun memories from that weekend
Thank you for humoring me Emily. I'm glad you ... and a few others were able to keep me entertained and make these videos a bit different this year. Hope to see you again soon.
Rez, encore une video incroyable. Your videos are getting better and better. Amuses toi bien en France! 😎🏃🏻

Awesome job, as usual! See you soon! Sadly I’ll miss the Paris meet-up, but hopefully I’ll see ya at the Expo or on course!
No worries... Keep an eye out for me .. and snag me to say "Hi!" I'm hoping to be at the Expo Friday morning.
RezRuns ok! I’ll be at the Expo Thursday afternoon at this point, but if I see you around I’ll definitely say hi!
You know ... it's crazy, tough planning anything as a sightseeing tourist in Paris. I'm getting a real taste of everyone's medicine who travel to central Florida for the races trying to fit it ALL in .. and run, run, run. :) See you soon.
RezRuns yes, just not enough time in the day, but the races did bring us there. That’s what I keep telling myself anyway! 👍🏻
Right! Oh that got a big chuckle. It was such a great excuse for a European adventure. Who else would run a race at 8PM followed by two races at 7AM on consecutive days ... and eat all of that rich, glorious French food?

The Daddy does it again!
Lovely folk you meet.
and the bonus of the Joyful Miles (+ Ms E.) Crew: they are hot and they know it!
Thanks again.. you know you're the only guy who can call me Daddy. LOL just kidding .. Gotta love the Joyful Miles crew.

Where did you get the glow n the dark bands? I need to invest in some...
what do you use to film? gopro?
Yes... GoPro Hero 6, Feiyu Tech G5 gimbal and a Tascam DR-10L digital voice recorder... although the recorder stopped working early ... so you can kind of hear the crappy GoPro audio in this one. ... hoping for some GoPro improvements in the coming year.
Cute kid: "Oh, I found you!" :)
Funny, my good microphone actually stopped working before the fireworks... and it took me 'til editing this to hear that young guy say he found me. ... and then, he just took off leaving me in the dust. LOL
Too cute. :)
I promise I will do it when I’m 10🏃🏻♂️🏃🏼♀️
Nice he did it with his mom
? The young guy who ran by me before mile marker 2? That's awesome.
