It sounds like your experience was very similar to ours. It was Phil’s first marathon which he did absolutely no training for, so it was a lot of me encouraging hm that he could finish. I was so scared of getting swept too. I think they were about a mile and a half behind us at one time. Nothing more motivating than that! haha Awesome job to both of you for completing the Goofy!

Thanks so much, Juliana! The characters were AWESOME this year, I was really surprised by how many “rare” characters were out!

Oooh, yay! Honestly I didn’t even feel Pascal! A safety pin through each foot and he didn’t budge. The hair was a bit more cumbersome, as I’m sure you can imagine, lol.

Thanks, Aimee! Congratulations on your first marathon, that’s amazing! WDW is the best choice for a first marathon, IMHO.

Sometimes it is tough to get going again after stopping, especially since we end up standing in some of these lines for character photos for several minutes. I guess you’ll just have to run it again someday???
