In this episode, Chris, Mark, Brittany, Kenny and Caryn break down the 2015 runDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon, a race which we will remember as much for the incredible experience of wearing and running in a group costume as for the damaging storms that forced an evacuation, a delayed start and a shortened race.

Here's the picture of conditions in the Champions Stadium where we stood shoulder-to-shoulder for about 20 minutes, but others had been jammed in there for about twice that long: https://teamshenanigans.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/12189141_10153878315760730_5448729835578449693_n.jpg

Meanwhile, runners in the Field House had a lot more room to relax while waiting out the delay: https://teamshenanigans.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/12219609_10153463622564342_7931116136629917524_n.jpg

Have you ever wondered how to run a race with a group? It's something we do all the time, and something we encourage everyone to try! Running with friends adds a whole new dynamic to races. But we've made mistakes along the way, and learned some lessons to avoid potential pitfalls of running with a group. On this episode, Chris, Brittany, Mark and Caryn share tips including how to deal with runners of different paces, what to do if someone needs to break away from the group, and more.

PLUS: in the very first installment of Real Talk with Brittany, we all have a little bit of potty mouth.

On this episode we talk with special guests Michael Miller and Helen Dunn about beating the running blahs.

It???s the time of year when a lot of people are nearing the end of a training cycle, which if you???re preparing for a half or full marathon, that means one or two more long, boring runs. It can be really hard to get out there and most of the time, we just want to be done. Maybe that???s just how you feel about running in general. That???s OK. It happens to all of us, and Michael and Helen have a great idea for putting fun back into those runs: the Fun in your Run Scavenger Hunt.

Chris, Brittany and Mark talk with Caryn and special guest Laura Bailey about their experience running their first Ragnar Relay event: The Reach the Beach Relay. Covering more than 200 miles over two days, running, eating, sleeping and driving with a team of your soon-to-be closest friends, Ragnar races sound like they provide a great opportunity for lots of fun.

We discuss:

- How far do you have to run and how often?

- How and when do you sleep and eat?

- Who is in charge of logistics like renting and driving vans, and supplying food and water?

- What if you get lost?

- Why does Caryn think the transition points are like refugee camps?

- What sorts of fun costumes, van decorating or other shenanigans are there?

- And much, much more!
