Marathon Weekend 2016

[Dopey Devon]

Knee held up until MGM and then I resorted to some hobbly jog for last few miles. Limped in at 4.43 happy considering my longest training run was 17 miles (cos of knee) and this was my first marathon!

Well done to all those today and over the last four days. Been a fantastic holiday and hasn't quite set in that it's all over! Now what to do next...

I'm in the bathroom having an emotional meltdown I still can't believe I did it - I pulled off the Dopey!

Congrats to everyone that ran this weekend and a monster shoutout to all the volunteers, we couldn't do this without any of you!

Wow, that was incredible! Lots of fun and I got 13 photos with characters while still hitting a 3:52. Boy it was humid though, last 6 miles were tough.

On a side note, can anyone identify who this character was around mile 25?

I'll probably try and do some type of recap in a few days, but here's a picture of my friend Jafar and I. I probably should have stopped for more pictures, but I wanted to get done and off my feet so bad.

Didn't realize how large the starting area was and didn't recognize anyone. Very sorry for the inconvenience I may of caused anyone. Terrible run for me today. It happens

No worries about this morning. It was wall to wall people! Sorry to hear that your run was tough.

I was a bit disappointed in my performance today. I have decided to let it go. (I missed 8 hours for Dopey by 10 minutes, and I just watched it slip away as I slowed down more and more...). But, it is a good reason to try this again! I am sure next time you would tear it up!

I don't know if she has a name but she isn't like a Disney character just someone they bring out for events and like weddings and stuff.

Congratulations Marathon, Goofy, and Dopey finishers!!!!

I'm thinking maybe a full next year and then dopey in 2018 if all goes well.

I made Twitter? Geez shouldve spent more time making it pretty! Had a blast cheering the dak parking lot till the balloon ladies passed...

I saw her in Animal Kingdom parking lot. I chuckled. I love the support at the Disney races! Finished today... Last 6 miles were tough. I've been napping all day and getting ready to go grab some dinner! Congrats to all the participants this weekend!

I was able to fulfill 3 of the 4!! LOL
(No comment on which ailment I had but you can probably guess now!)

Around mile 19, I told @FFigawi that I was going to kill him when I saw him, but luckily he survived when I would see him a few miles later out in front of Yacht Club.

Barely walking is still walking and I think you'll find that you're in good company on that particular front. Congratulations on the achievement.
