Have I been training so much as I've been walking a lot of distance intentionally and inadvertently? No. I'm prepared for the worst on the marathon ngl. Everything else is going to be fine.
It also looks like it's going to be very warm. Yikes. Better than the coldest marathon ever that I did last time I think, but warm is not going to be easy either
Is there a way to track runners and see progress? I know I won’t be there in person but I’d love to cheer you on regardless!! I know you might have to adjust some expectations, but I believe in you. And you never know what race-day adrenaline will do. I’m already in awe of you for doing the Dopey Challenge and doing a marathon. I tap out at a half
crazyshannonigans: I hobbled through the end of my marathon bc I hurt myself, but still barely made 16 minute miles!! thank you I think there is actually a way, I'll try to remember to post it!! I appreciate your support!!
You did it!!! And 16 minute miles are awesome!!!!
Always, always, always here to support and cheer!! Anyway I can I want to!
Alright it's expo day. Doesn't open until 10 but I tried to get up at 5 to start resetting my sleep schedule. I made it up by 5:30 :')
I'm super excited I'm gonna bring some of my tip money to get souvenirs, and I'm gonna check out everything to get freebies and honestly any reasonable cute clothes I see bc I have no plans
My cousin just asked me to run ahead for character lines for him. LOL. I don't expect to be going much faster than him but ok
the line to get into merch is INSANE. My cousin said someone estimated the wait to be a couple hours long. It hasn't even opened. I'm gonna try for a little while bc some of the merch sold out for past races
Despite them combatting reselling this still seems bad
Shoutout to the ladies in front of me who held my spot so I could go to the bathroom lol
I'm still in line inside ajwjdjdkdk

It’s wild to me that it’s like that for merch bc there’s always SO much left over
funnyfinnie: allegedly wine and dine stuff sold out this year but yeah it's usually not like this
I wasn't able to get a magnet for my last marathon due to it selling out, but I only went to the expo on the last day bc it was the only race I had. They were restocking like crazy so idk when things will sell out
My stopwatch hit 2 hours after I paid. Not terrible, but not ideal either.
bibs and freebies!! randomly the half marathon luggage tag and also stiggers
Oh my god. That is...quite the line. But yay for bibs and things!
Magnets and pins!! including specifically a redemption magnet since I never had a marathon distance one
ornament (not as cute as past ones, and kinda poorly made? but I had to) and a water bottle!! this pic doesn't do the bottle justice but it's really cute, I wasn't planning on getting anything like that
last but not least...I let myself get the spirit jersey. I was floored that they had my size and hadn't sold out, so I went for it.
my lighting is weird. but here's the front. my cousin kinda regretted not getting this shirt bc he loves chip and dale. I offered to get him something several times and got him an ornament anyway, I never would've assumed he'd want a spirit jersey but it's very cute
Oh that’s so nice!!!! Ugh i want rundisney stuff. One day I want to do one of their races

also cool of them to give you the completion stuff when you haven't even done it yet akdhsjkdhdk
tallblondabercrombie: if you don't buy it now it sells out, you literally just have to gamble on it 🤪

Woo!
This was the hardest 5k of my life. I literally turned around driving to Epcot bc I didn't think I could do it. Long story short I couldn't even keep water down this morning and slept horribly bc of the nausea. But I felt slightly better and knew I'd regret not trying. I was the very last group and went a little slower than usual. Recovering now
Hoping every other day goes much better. If I don't complete the challenge there's no shame in that, but I'd like to at least attempt every one!
You did it!! I’m so sorry you aren’t feeling well, fingers crossed you get better! But you have the right attitude - it’s ok if you don’t complete it.
I was too late to get in line for Cogsworth and Lumiere but I tried akskskdkdk the Pluto selfie turned out cute!!
I skipped the 10k today bc I couldn't keep enough food down, and couldn't sleep again. No more Dopey, but I'm gonna try to get better today and still do the last two for the Goofy challenge
💙💙💙 I really hope you feel better soon sending you good vibes
Also that’s a great half time!! I’ve got it set up to track you tomorrow!

Thank you I literally walked the whole way except a few small jogs through Magic Kingdom 😅

I am 99% sure I wouldn't have kept pace through the 10k so you did good
disclaimer y'all: I'm not planning on finishing this race lol. I overdid it yesterday. I'm setting the bar low so then no matter how bad it is I've at least accomplished something
Balloon ladies caught me in Animal Kingdom! I'm on a bus back to Epcot, but I actually managed 17 miles!
got my money's worth in character photos 😌
And 17 miles is AMAZING!! You’re incredible ❤️

OH AND YOU LOOK SO CUTE
all of the hazier photos are 100% bc I had biofreeze smudged on the lens and didn't know lmao
