Hello, hello, everyone. Welcome to the happiest podcast on Earth. It is AJ here. And once again, I am all by my lonesome. Y'all, this is a crazy week. Honestly, month. Honestly, season for the happiest podcast on Earth. Andrew literally gets married on Sunday. Mel is about to have her baby. Feels like any second now.

Hunter is, you know, dad of two running around like a chicken with his head cut off. I'm here.

I mean, we're wedding planning, but that's about it. So here I am coming at you live. And what else

would we talk about other than run Disney? We are in the thick of the season here, through the thick of the training.

Dopey is coming up here in just, what, three weeks?

Horrifying to think about it, I know.

For those you who don't know, run Disney, obviously, Disney's little, well, not really little,

it's kind of blown up over the years, but Disney's subsection where they do a whole bunch of races and whatnot through and around the parks and whatnot. And the dopey challenge is during marathon weekends. So there's only one weekend a year where they do a full-blown. The other weekends, they'll usually have a 5K, a 10-K, and then like a 10-mile or a half marathon. But only but only once, and only at Disney World, do they do a full

marathon? And that's going to be coming up here in January, and the dopy challenge is going to be

the 5K, the 10-K, the half-marathon, and the full marathon in four days, and you must complete them all.

It is 48.6 miles altogether. It's a lot of lost sleep time on

your feet, but we're going to get into it and we're going to go over kind of my personal opinion

on tips and tricks and advice throughout the whole process through getting the queue, through

the merchandise, through the training, through the race itself, through the outfits, the

set or the other. Again, these are just

my personal opinions. Everyone's journey with Run Disney and with training is going to be different

based on your personal preferences, based on your fitness level, anything like that. So let's get

into it. I want to start off with probably one of my most asked questions in my DMs, which is how the heck do you even sign up for this thing?

Because it is so hard to get into.

Like, so hard.

The popularity of it, which I would like to partially think is me to blame.

Sorry.
