Marathon Weekend 2025

hmm...odd because im pretty sure she uses her full name on the youtubes and in Texas you just need to go to the county CAD and look her up quite easily. assuming she ownes a house that is. but in Texas we own the guns!!! lol

Yeah i watched one of her videos and she was coming home from somewhere at night and there was a Dopey flag in her yard and she was all "You guyyys! Who did this?! I love it so much!" And while it may have been staged and it was her significant other or a friend, as someone who doesn't closely follow her it was creepy AF.

I have things to post about the weekend, but am not up to it. I had a doctor’s appointment this morning, and I have the flu. It’s too late to start Tamiflu, since my symptoms started Sunday. That’s why I disappeared off the thread, and we missed DATW. Anybody else sick?

My friend who ran the full, picked up something while at Disney World. His wife also picked up the stomach flu while they were there. Knock on wood that this may be the first year noone in our family gets sick right after coming back.

I am fairly sick right now, as well. Yay Disney "flu!"

 

[superchime]

i feel like that coin is just tooooo small. I will have to step up my design next time and go Flava-Flav.

Not too small at all, it's a great size. That dopey medal is just enormous... and heavy - or I need to start working on upper body strength again.

See, there must have been something going around! I had some kind of stomach ailment Saturday too (and also ran the full Sunday, solidarity with your friend)

Yeah the Disney souvenir no one wants came home with us. Younger DD sick, DW sick, me sick… Good times.

btw. i downloaded that pic. thanks

I just wanted to thank you again for the challenge coin - its only after I got home and was able to look at it in good light (and with my glasses ) that I saw just how much detail there is! Love it! Look forward to seeing you again at one of the meetups next year!

Not sick yet *knocks on wood* But my family had EVERYTHING before MW so hopefully I'm good.

Running in Makeup used to have her tracking public. But last year she was a victim of stalking at a RunDisney race. I don’t know the details but I do know the police were involved. After that incident, her tracking and results are no longer public.

That doesn’t really make sense, since results are posted well-after the race is over, and tracking is just an estimate. If someone wanted to stalk her, wouldn’t it just be easier to look at her social media where she’s posting her location at any given moment and exactly what she’s wearing? It seems weird to put out in the public all this private information like her real name and the names of her husband and kid, her job, her home location, etc, but then try to hide her race results.

I'm still okay, so didn't pick up anything on Sunday

Last weekend I ran my first runDisney race AND my first 10K. I had figured this was a one-and-done experience since the race was cutting into a lot of our trip (very early bedtime, morning co-opted by the race, etc.) but guess what, I'm hooked! I'm hoping to get into the half marathon for Princess weekend in 2026.

I wanted to shout out everyone on these boards for being so helpful with answering questions from a newbie - and the people in person I spoke to in the parks were just wonderful. The man from Mississippi running Dopey who assured me Thursday morning in line for Slinky that I'd nail the 10K and promised it wouldn't be my last race here -- you were right. And helped calm my nerves more than you could know!

and go Flava-Flav.

FYI, no connection to me or my name.

ETA: Nice coin!

If you're referring to a mini medal being different from the actual medal, the 10K one has a white background for some reason instead of a silver one.

Minnie isn't on the real 10k medal?

 

[DisneyParrothead]

Minnie isn't on the real 10k medal?

She used to be! The first time I ever got FOMO for not doing a race was the first MW 10k. Not only was Minnie on the 10k medal, the lanyard was red with white polka dots. Super cute and I so wish I’d have done that race.

For folks who like to use these on the treadmill or just reminisce, RunSota posted full vids of all of his Dopey runs. He always does a really good job with these.

Erica10021, I hope you are doing well. Sounds like your break is more serious than mine. I see the doc tomorrow. I second Disney’s wonderful response to medical emergencies. I went to the front desk at the resort, and 20 minutes later had a van waiting to take us to urgent care.

After a delightful DATW, I was hit by that stomach bug Monday night. Sorry to hear I wasn’t the only one to pick that up. We were able to keep the same room and delay our flights for a day. I love Disney, but I was never so happy to be home!

Now looking forward to the runDisney friends we will see at Princess!

 

[Z-Knight]

Minnie used to be the 10k for all of the early Dopey races...which is why I chose her for the 10k and likewise Pluto for the 5k.

the difference is the background texture of the 10k mini medal is polka dots to represent Minnie.
