As a test I just tried signing up for the Dopey and it's available. Rather shocking. Dreamfinder mentioned a few posts back that interest may be waning in some of the events because of cost, and I think that could be correct. I just completed the Flying Pig 4-way challenge in Cincinnati, which...

If your experience is like ours, you should expect to spend a lot of money. ;)

Hey @Texas84, please add a marathon and a 10K to my existing Dopey distance, for a grand total of 81 runDisney miles.

Greenlawler - looking at your training paces before the race, I would have bet money you would have cracked 4 hours. But don't feel too bad - I only beat my time last year by 42 seconds, and I was much faster throughout this year than last year. I should also have been close to 4 hours but...

8.3 miles in 20MPH wind and 20 degree wind chill. Looks like winter waited until 2016 to show up. Not that I care - I'll be in WDW in 5 days. :)

Finished the last run of the year - an easy 4 miler. Toal for the year was 1152 miles, 115 more miles than last year. If you had told me that in 2015 I would run 115 miles more than last year, when I was training for the Dopey, I would have thought you were nuts!

I'll keep an eye open. For my part, I will be "Hulking-out." :)

Last year I saw pics of marathon weekend clothing and gear (jackets, magic bands, shirts, etc.) ahead of the race. I haven't seen anything this year. Has anyone seen photos posted of what we can purchase at the expo?

Normally I see these posts and am like, "Yeah - let's go!" But I can barely keep my eyes open after watching the midnight premiere of Star Wars The Force Awakens, then having to be to work by 06:30. So I've got to take a pass about getting pumped up for the race today. ;)

Oh - missed that! I was surprised it hadn't been posted. :oops:

Oh oh. Someone's got a Minnie Dopey coming up... :)

In central Ohio and ran 18 yesterday and 3 today, both times in shorts and tee shirt. The Christmas spirit in me misses the snow, but the runner in me loves these warm temps!

I live in Ohio and so routinely run in cold races. But the 2015 5K was cold and windy far beyond what I had expected. I'm still unthawing from it. Thanks a lot, Elsa! :mad:
