RED Episode # 79: Mike Bankhead from the Be Our Guest Podcast Lizards Running Facebook Group
WE RUN, EAT, and DRINK DISNEY on THIS WEEK’S SHOW!
This week we share your listener feedback about keeping training enjoyable when it gets tough. Thank you to everyone who sent in a tip, trick, or suggestion!
On this episode, we got to test out our really great audio equipment and talk to a special guest. When things get tough in your training season, it is important to be part of a training group or online group that understands and can provide support and advice. The Be Our Guest Podcast Lizards FaceBook group is one of the best. It was born out of the Be Our Guest Podcast, which is a fantastic podcast about all things Disney (Shout out to Mike, Pam, and Rikki!). The Be Our Guest Podcast Lizards group on FaceBook started because of a love for all things RunDisney, but members also support each other in all running endeavors and races.
We are sharing our interview with Mike Bankhead, who created the Be Our Guest Podcast Lizards running group on Facebook almost six years ago! It is almost 2000 members strong. Mike talks about his journey with running, creating the group, and shares his tips and tricks for a Disney runcation or vacation! He emphasizes that this group has forged very special friendships and members who cheer each other on have become like family to each other. He also shares his favorite places to stay and where to eat after you have run off all those calories!
He also shared great resources like The Magic for Less Travel, to help you book a magical Disney vacation and The Mouse for Less, which is the blog that Rikki, co-host of the Be Our Guest Podcast along with Mike Rahlmann, helps to maintain and that gives you tips, tricks, information, and great resources about Disney, too!
THAT’S A WRAP
