Kicking off the Virtual Run from Disneyland to Disneyworld



Today is the start of He Fat's Virtual Fit Club's  Virtual Run from Disneyland to Disney World.   The goal of this Virtual Run is for me and anyone else that wants to join in to  set a 2 plus year goal of staying fit.....by   Virtually  running across the  United States.
After completing my 1439 Mile Virtual Run from Long Beach CA to the Canada Border I thought it would be fun to set a new goal and a Disneyland to +Disney World  run seemed like a great way to do that.    

Below is the 2,500  Mile Route from Disneyland in CA to  +Disney World  in Florida......I will be posting my Stats and locations on the map as I make this Virtual Journey across the U.S.  




If you would like to come along on this Virtual Run  just send in your stats weekly to my He Fat's Virtual Fit Club on Facebook and I will occasionally  feature and plot where you are on your Run along the way as well.    


I would like to also use this Virtual Run to hopefully plan a trip to +Disney World  for my Family once the Virtual journey there is over so it is also a goal to financially plan a trip to Orlando as well.

So join me on this Journey either by flowing my Journey online or by Virtually Running and plotting your own journey at your own pace as well.

6 Miles Down  2,494 Miles to Go

Virtual Run to Canada reaches an end: Welcome to Canada



78.6  Miles so far  in 2013

Virtual run to Canada since  Feb 14  2011 1439.4


5.2  Miles  today ........Welcome to Canada  How is it going Eh?


The Virtual Run to Canada from Long Beach has finally reached its end....It took a little longer than I had hoped for  (The broken toe in July really slowed down my efforts to the point where the run almost ended somewhere in Washington).......but I eventually got things back on track  after a few starts and stops and I'm  running consistently again now.  Without the  injury I probably would have arrived in Canada sometime in September or October.    It was a fun challenge plotting my way up the Western Coastline ----up through California  then on through Oregon and Washington.        With this challenge complete a new challenge has been set......This one will be a little bit further and   hopefully  injur free y will take me across the United States from Disneyland  to Disneyworld.......A Virtual Forrest Gump like journey that should take hopefully around 2 years and will keep me focused on my fitness goals.     Setting challenges is a key to staying fit and with this new goal I'm feeling energized to keep in better shape for the next couple years.    I will set mini-challenges along the way to keep me focused  like  5K's and possible a  half marathon or fun Mud fun or something.....And I'll throw some swimming in the summer time for fun.      Come along with me on my journey across the United States or set a fun Virtual run for yourself and plot your way somewhere cool.

Tomorrow the new Virtual Run will begin.......but for now ....I give you a taste of Canada   SCTV  Style...

Virtual Run from Disneyland to Disneyworld

I'm a huge Disney fan and even started a blog about it just to have someplace to post all the pictures I take when I visit the park. I also like to run. A couple years ago I was out of shape and needed to kick start a way to exercise and lose some weight while still enjoying all of those tasty Disney Corn Dogs and Pineapple Whips and Test Pilot Grill Burgers (you know the ones with the Tangy sauce and Blue Cheese.......ummmm Blue Cheese)..... Well I used little things to motivate me like 5K's trying to improve my times with each one as I worked of the Fat and found the runner that once lived inside HE FAT. I started a Facebook Page called the Death of HE FAT as I worked my way to a skinnier person. I used the page to motivate myself and others by setting challenges and fun ways of keeping the exercise going. Whether it was swimming challenges or running challenges --whatever it took. Most recently I did what I called a Virtual Run from Long Beach to Canada which I'm just about to complete this week and I had changed my Death of HE FAT page into HE FAT's Virtual Fit Club asking friends to join and Virtually run or workout with me. With this Virtual Run ending this week I was trying to think of what the Next Virtual Run should be and of course a Disney Run came to mind. I mapped it out on Yahoo Maps and it is 2,500 miles from Disneyland to Disneyworld..... A Virtual Run that if you did about 24 Miles a week would take almost exactly 2 years. I thought it would a fun way to motivate others as well to get into better shape. It would be amazing if after the possibly 2 year Journey I could plan a trip back to Disneyworld at the end of the journey. Maybe saving or putting away money for the end of the Virtual Run in order to get back to Disneyworld for the first time in years for real.

If anyone is interested in being a part of this Journey let me know.


Here is He Fat's Virtual Fit Club Facebook page if anyone wants to join this Virtual Journey. You can post your results and share you Virtual Run with each other as we make our way across the United States.
