Marathon Weekend 2026

We are home. Drive not too bad. Whisky still had major anxiety at night. I was hoping to go to the office tomorrow. I will try but expecting she won’t let me. We had made a tiny bit of progress but that was all ruined with Christmas. She did get a bath and looks pretry.

Dopey looks like a weird deformed baby, like something from the movie Nothing But Trouble. He’s not even a top-3 Dwarf.

THANK YOU for finally saying it! I really can't stand Dopey and it annoys me he's the mascot of that challenge.

As we lined up to board our first flight to get home, who spots us (on the same flight!)? It was @Kerry1957 and his DD (and her partner.) It’s a small world.

We’re not home yet, but in the final stretch. We’ll have to go straight to pick up the dog, and should just make it before they close at 7:00.
It was such a fun weekend! I’ll have more to post later after I’ve had some sleep, but it was a pleasure, friends! Safe travels!

This is always a bittersweet post to write. I’m sitting at the gate getting ready to board the flight home and the post-race blues have well and truly set in.

I want to thank everyone here for contributing to a fantastic Marathon Weekend. I think this will go down as one of my favorites due to the sheer number of folks who attended meet-ups, gave words of advice and said hello (or more) on the course itself, lifting spirits when they might be flagging with the distance.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen our meet-ups quite so large in the mornings and we literally took over Hurricane Hannah’s, the turnout was so large. And we got to close it all out with a great DATW, complete with terrorizing the world’s most thorough and patient PhotoPass photographer.

I loved all of it and can’t wait for us to reconvene next year. Thank you all and, most importantly:

Viva la Team Toasty!!

Counterpoint: I would rather give away all my Dopey stuff.

Oh, believe me, if I could have my way the challenge would be rethemed! I like the colors and gems, but Dopey as a character is not my fav.
