I signed up for RunDisney's Dopey Challenge, but I need to lose 30lbs and only have 28 weeks to do it. This is running the Disney Half Marathon, Marathon, 10k and 5k in 2023. I also have to do this around my life, and I got pulled off the course last year...

I know I am just a stranger who will never meet you, but just know that I am proud of you. I have been following your training journey and the fact that you stuck with your training plan is extremely impressive. I very much enjoyed watching you reach your goal. I understand that you aren't planning on running Goofy again but if you do, please continue to film your progress, I will be here to watch. Amazing job!
Thank you so much!! I plan to continue physical challenges to focus on my health. I really appreciate you watching my journey and Thank you for all the positive and kind words. I normally don't stick to routines, so you all keeping me accountable truly helped me
Congratulations! I’ve followed your training and was waiting for this update!
Thank you for following my journey so far!! I never imagined how much effort it was going to be 😆
I’ve done all the Disneyland runs (I am from California) and running the WDW was my goal! This is my 3rd marathon. But honestly I was so surprised how many ppl were doing the dopey challenge! I would have never guessed it. Actually to be honest I was so focused on getting into the marathon.. I didn’t know what any of the challenges consisted of. Getting your perspective is appreciated. I felt great the day after the marathon and my training sucked! I kinda wish the marathon came first then work your way down to the half, 10k, 5k. Anyways Congrats!!! Watching this video got me a step closer to considering running dopey one day. I hope to one day be on dope to be dopey crazy like many of you guys!
Thank you everything you said means a lot. I encourage you to give it a try, but the training is critical. That to me is the hardest part. I agree I wish it went in reverse order because I can push through a 10 with leg pain much easier than 26 miles. Congrats on your 3rd marathon!! That is impressive. I want to do another marathon some day just to ride the rides along the way. I have to get a much faster pace though.
wow thanks for the video!! really nice job! that is a really great accomplishment.
Thank you 😊
Congratulations!!!! Your videos have been so inspiring to me. I’m just thrilled that your good vibes are returning to you.
I really am so excited to see what’s next for you. We had a similar journey in that I am also 40 years old, a mom, and lost 12-ish pounds for this marathon. I’m training for next years WDW marathon…. Even though I said I wouldn’t. I just can’t seem to help myself.
Also, I love that you highlighted your marathon strategy in this video. I think that is also some thing that gets very overlooked.
Thank you so much and congrats to you as well! I keep telling myself no more marathons, but I really want to be fast enough to ride things along the way. That is a unique thing to do at only Disney 😆
Congratulations on Dopey! The marathon was challenging this year!
Thank you! I hope you did amazing as well
Congratulations on your marathon!!! - idk about the whole i trained for 7 months part -
Thank you. Here is the playlist if you're interested in my 7 month journey th-cam.com/play/PL2wD8p1sz9LIwh3oza9Gs3igpmy5-clXo.html
Congratulations on doing this! It’s my goal for next year!
You can do it. Just make sure to train and get the right gear, and you will be set.
Woohoo! Congrats! It was tough but you did it! I’m glad you didn’t get swept this time! Such a huge accomplishment.
Thank you! Me too. There were times I was uncertain if I would get swept because they sweep late now. They had golf carts in Epcot to sweep people.
@@Matt_Bod so crazy! Like we’re in Epcot, just let us finish. I’d hard ire cry if I got swept at mike 25 lol. By mike 20 I thought for sure I was a goner.
😆 yes. I get they need to clear the park but I would be so upset to be swept at that late in race
Great job man! Was recommended your video. I am a fellow Dopey and this was my 2nd year doing Dopey and loved it just as much as the 1st! Congrats!
Thank you. It is crazy how I've gone from "NEVER" to "maybe I could do it faster and ride something along the way" 😆
@@Matt_Bod So it is amazing how much you can improve. My Dopey Marathon in 2022 was 6 hours. I made it in 5:17 this year! You got this!
Yay! I’m also a Dopey 2023 finisher!
This brought back so many memories (from a couple of weeks ago 😂).
Can’t wait to go back!
Congratulations! I just realized it was only a couple week ago. It seems longer 😂
Congratulations on finishing the Dopey Challenge!! You had me cracking up in some spots there especially because of the lack of sleep! But you made it. And since you said it’s one and done…. I will probably see ya on the Dopey course again next year! 😂 congrats again!
😂 I think the part of Dopey I don't like is the months of training. It does suck in the moment too, but it is also great seeing so much positivity from people.
Congratulations! Just did my first marathon a few months ago, it's an amazing feeling to finish it
Thank you. It truly is. Especially when you get over the wall
Congratulations!!!
Thank you!!
Matt - you’re impressive man. Really glad I stumbled across your channel. I’m 33 - ran the Pittsburgh half marathon last year and am training for the full marathon this year in May. Your journey has helped me with mine.
Great videos throughout your journey and a great ending! Thank you
Thank you so much for all the kind words. It makes me so happy that I helped you! You can do this. I can't wait to hear about your full marathon in a few months
@@Matt_Bod I will let you know. Will probably do a video on it myself when it’s all said and done
You look way healthier/better in this video pal. Proud of you! I’ve run the Disney marathon twice. I’m a two time blood cancer survivor! You can google me at Disney!
Thank you! And congrats to being a double cancer survivor. You are truly an inspiration!
Yay!!! Congrats!
I know you say you're not doing it again...but it wasn't very convincing. Haha I'm taking bets on it - initial money line is at +130 for 2024 Dopey. I'm thinking it's not quite a coin flip but it is quite possible!!!
Great job!
Thank you! Now that the pain has gone away some.. I'm debating doing the marathon again. I want to be fast enough to ride Everest 😂
Congratulations 🎉! I'm very similar to you. I was swept at mile 20 in 2020 Dopey. I trained much harder this time and was able to finish in all 4 races. And I too, probably won't do it again. Lol
I'm excited to hear you made it! The only scenario I can think of doing another marathon would be to ride things along the way. That is still an if 😆
Congratulations!
Thank you!
That stretch along mile 19 and 20 felt hot. I wasn’t a big fan of how narrow the course was at the beginning. Nice job!
It was soo hot. Such a long path without shade
Congrats!! You may say never again now, but it was my fiancé’s first and my second. He said he was never going to run a marathon again. As soon as I said oh I’ll do it again in the next five years (I’m doing every Dopey anniversary year), he said “wellll maybe I’ll do it too” lol
Thank you! It is an addiction 😂. I still don't want to do it again, but I said that about half marathons. I've done over 40 of those lol. There is just something about the people at the races and the event as a whole. I've told a few people I have not seen kindness like I saw during marathon weekend in years. So many people helping random strangers..
Congratulations. Your amazing.!🎉
Thank you!!
Congratulations! Great job! Proud to say I ran Dopey "with" you! :-)
So now that it has been a little longer.... ....are you going to do it again??
Thank you.. And yes I signed up again and also signed up for DL half marathon. I am not sure what is wrong with me 😂
Well done ! I’m doing Goofy next year and just finished Spring challenge .. are you doing 2024? Congrats on the Dopey
Thank you and you will love Goofy. I did sign up for Dopey again. Not sure what I was thinking 🤣
Not the least favorite shoes 😂😂😂
I had to rewind and watch again lol
😂
Congrats!! Curious how you knew how exactly far the balloon ladies were behind you? I’m doing Fairytale next month. Thanks!
Thank you! There is a Twitter page balloon ladies tracker. You can see when they cross the start line and tracking plates they have on the course
@@Matt_Bod awesome. Thank you!
My friend did all 4 and placed. She's amazing 😍
That is very impressive! I need to work on my pace more, but I have said that for years.
Spotted myself in your video near the end. I had the Dopey shorts on and purple top! I finished ! Congratulations!
Thank you and congrats on finishing. So cool you found yourself as well.
Just an FYI for future reference, you can get swept from the 5K. You do have to be really, really slow, but I have witnessed them sweep them when I volunteered for one of the 5Ks a few years ago.
Congratulations! My sister & I did the 5K & my best friend & I did the marathon. I have no drive or desire to do Goofy or Dopey and I'm not sure if I ever want to run another marathon. If I could go out there and do it without training, I might, but I can't and to train properly it just takes way too much time. I'm glad I have done a marathon once though.
Thank you! I will have to make sure to not get swept in the 5k. I like doing the race day but the training is always a grind. My wife asked me today why I sign up for them because i always complain during the training 😂.
Great video! you look like you lost weight from your previous video!
THank you!
What training did you do for the 7 months ?
I did the galloway training plan. The videos are in this playlist. th-cam.com/play/PL2wD8p1sz9LIwh3oza9Gs3igpmy5-clXo.html
Where do you recommend I stay for the week long race?
I normally would stay as close to Epcot as possible if you're taking the buses
Great job…
Thank you!
I got top 25 in the marathon this year which I was ok with, but I can’t imagine waking up that early multiple days in a row.
Congrats!! That is very impressive. I would be excited to be in top 1000 😂
@@Matt_Bod haha thanks.
So people do actually run the race? How was the traffic up towards the front? I’d love to do the Disney races but I would want to run them and not be in the congestion of people walking. Please let me know! And congrats to both of you on your accomplishments!
@@rutherke41well I had a really good qualifying time so I was already starting up with the elites which was roped off in the top half of the A coral, but even if you’re able to qualify in the A coral which a good amount of people did, you still shouldn’t have much trouble with congestion. It’s a really wide road and the fastest among us will separate from the rest of the pack pretty quickly so they won’t be in the way
@@wesleytwiggs7687 amazing! Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it!
Awesome job!!! It took me 7:07:25 to finish & I’m losing a toenail 😂
Congrats on finishing, but I hate that you lost a toenail😂 I had a blister on my foot and that was the worst of it. I am going to work on exercising my flat feet. I think my runs will be a lot better if I do.
Congratulations!!
Thank you!
Congratulations!!!!
Thank you!!
