We did it!!!! 48.6 miles in four days. Now off to parks to keep moving. Josephine Reece did great but has stated this was her first and last #dopeychallenge

Weather issues led to shortened runDisney Half of 7.1 miles. So Josephine Reece and I had to get miles in pre-race and post-race in the rain. 3 down with 1 to go. #dopeychallenge

10K went great with Josephine Reece. 9.3 miles down, another 39.3 to go 😳 #dopeychallenge runDisney

So 9 months ago, I decided to sign myself and Josephine Reece up for the 2024 #dopeychallenge runDisney. It’s four days in a row with 5K, 10K, half, full marathon. 1 down, 3 to go!

First, I appreciate on consults 😉 but I most resonate with stage 4 and the “sigh” as I skip ahead to that more quickly now.
