Marathon Weekend 2027


SAFD: I will be running Dopey #4. Bib secured through A Running Passion already. Assuming all goes well with Springtime and Wine and Dine plans, the marathon will be my 50th runDisney finish line. My first race was the MW half in 2015 (then I had a hiatus until MW 2022, and since then I have been at all of them— a failed Goofy, a marathon DNS due to COVID, and then three successful Dopeys). MW is my favorite so I’m happy.
 
SAFD: I’m in for Dopey #6 via charity and am very excited for that! But, I’ll also be running the registration gauntlet as my oldest wants to make her return to MW post grad school. Fingers crossed we can get a couple more bibs. Looking forward to seeing all you fun people in just ten short months!
 
SAFD: I mentioned before but my schedule is going to allow for me to participate in MW without immediately jumping on a plane after finishing the marathon. This is probably the only time as long as I'm working I'll be in this situation so I'm going to try for a one-and-done Dopey. Not sure what my backup plan is for registration but I need one as getting into Dopey is unlikely these days.
I had my DS halfway talked into doing the 5k there, but then he remembered I wake up at 2am for these races and he backed out. The new spread out start schedule could change his mind, but I can't guarantee him a late start. We have no idea how that's going to work. If i could, I'd be registering him for that though.
 
SAFD: Well… I wanted to see how PHM went before thinking about MW. The short story is that a year ago, I thought my distance running days were over - I never recovered from workouts, was in constant pain in nearly every joint of my body, was only getting maybe 2 hours of sleep a night thanks to interruptions from hot flashes. Over the past year, I started menopausal hormone replacement, got my levels to where most joint pain is gone, I can lift heavy and run long and actually recover and make gains from it, and I’m sleeping better than I have in years! Yesterday, I turned in one of my fastest (still slow, but fast for me) half times ever… and still had plenty in the tank. Other than the asthma kicked up by Pollenpocalypse here in FL, I feel great this morning after the PHM!

So - I think I’m aiming for either Goofy or the marathon + 10K. Goofy is more convenient from a length of stay perspective, so I think that’s my first choice. Registration gods have not been kind to me lately, so high chance I’ll happily accept any gifted links we can conjure!
