A Marathon episode in more ways than one - our longest episode yet (!!), so here's some helpful checkpoints:

• 0:00 - Intro & Parks News Recap
• 17:50 - Trip Report (minus any race details)
• 1:42:30 - RunDisney Marathon Weekend 2023, from Expo to 10K to Dopey

Referenced in-ep:

• Nathan Hartman's amazing list of Disney Parks music: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qf-Gy5gZAHdiYx_Z1bGWWdxHQVxRU9Bv?usp=share_link 
• What it's like to run Dopey for the first time
• What it's like to watch someone run Dopey for the first time
• What it's like to deal with Kristen's race insomnia

This one's a doozy, but much like Dopey, we hope it's worth it in the end!
