Batman 497, Bane break's Batman's back. As is, I have this in the 9.4-9.6 range due to very slight blunting of the spine corners and three small spine tics that are only visible when angled to a light. So with a press...maybe this could make a 9.8? $10 (sold)

@KindaMistyish - turn this over the sheriff’s department immediately as he’s committing new crimes while out on bond.

Wolverine (2010) 1-20, with issue 5.1 also included. Same condition as the Savage Wolverine books. $32

Starting off with a full run of Savage Wolverine, issues 1-23. Standard releases only, no variants included. Books have been bagged and boarded since I've owned them and read once or less. I would not be surprised if there were a few 9.8s lurking in here. $35

Alright, Dopey Challenge results are in! Let's see how it all shook out, using part of my page 4 post: (I will post much more detail about the whole experience in my journal, hopefully sometime in the next few days.) Original goal times 5k – 37:30 10k – 1:15:00 Half – 2:30:00 (Scratched on account of Disney shortening the course to 7.1 miles) Full – 5:00:00 (as I noted in my journal, I'll use my unofficial time to eliminate recreation stops. Strava has my unofficial time at 5:35:04) Total allotted moving time that I've given myself is 9 hours, 22 minutes, and 30 seconds 6 hours, 52 minutes, 30 seconds (half marathon removed). Here again is my original pledge, all proceeds to Jimbo, a friend of Jesus . - $2 per mile, which I’ll round up to a total of $100 when all miles are completed. (even with the 1/2er cut short, still $100. We calculated that we walked between 2-3 miles to and from the car per day. Add park time on top of that, and we covered much more than 48.6 miles in 4 days) - $50 per time goal met ($100, 2 of 4 original goals met) - $100 if I come in under my total allotted moving time ($50. Though I didn't beat my allotted time, I'm still adding $50 more because of how well the marathon went - good mood, no injuries, no cramps, and I still set a race day pr for the half marathon) Ultimately I didn't hit the $400 max, but that's $250 to @jimjum12 as soon as possible. @Beige - The modified official distance comes out to 42.6 miles, so take that into account however you'd like when settling up.

Take Hulk 143, page 77, at $15.

I’ll do my race results calculations in a couple days. Suffice to say it hurts everywhere at the moment. Great to hear we’ve almost hit $33k!

Me at our mile 25 beer stop:

Did he really have something to contribute though? From the comments I’ve seen from folks who actually bought from him, it seemed like transacting with Eric Cartman.

We just got back to the hotel, soaked. This made my morning

Hi everyone, unfortunately I have some bad news to share about the Dopey Challenge. Due to expected mid-morning storms, the half marathon course has been shortened to only 7 miles. Basically the distance that I just did today. Can’t be mad at anyone, the weather does what it does, but it is disappointing and will leave me with a feeling of having unfinished business (Disney is still awarding the full slate of Dopey medals despite the modification). Honestly, I’m going to sand bag tomorrow and use it as a recoup day for the marathon (clear skies forecast for Sunday). I was looking forward to the half marathon to put Nashville’s ghost to bed, and 7 miles just isn’t a challenge in comparison. I’ll still do the miles, but it might take an hour 45. Ergo, I won’t be setting a modified time goal for tomorrow. I’ll figure out how this affects my bonus clauses after the marathon.

We got our answer folks.

It’s only fair to ask: @writerwill - is tanking your reputation on the boards worth the $5 in question?

Day 2 (10k) is wrapped up. A little slower paced today as we ran together until the Cinderella photo line, where my prettier half broke off. Also did some strategic walking and took a few more park photos. Unofficial time 1:13:45.

Day 1 (5k) is in the books, unofficial time 33:44. Didn’t end up doing any walking, there was enough congestion at certain points to keep my pace nice and comfortable. Feeling fantastic so far

We are checked in and ready to get to it! Got our bibs, six souvenir shirts, and purchased a couple other small items from the expo. I feel about as good as can be with all the training ups and downs and am ready to get started tomorrow morning. If you’re reading this and interested in using my results to make a contribution toward @jimjum12’s fundraiser, please click over to the thread in G/S/B (specifics from me are on page 4):

Just in case anyone thought I was faking…all checked in and ready to kick off tomorrow morning!

Take, if not already spoken for.

The simplicity is stunning, yikes.

I’ll play.

Hi everyone! First off, just want to say how incredible this effort has been, we're going to cruise past that $30k mark easy! Fly out day is early Tuesday morning, so I wanted to make one more plug for the running challenge before we hit the road (quoted the original post from page 4). No amount is too small. Also, since I may have trouble staying on top of my PMs, anyone else wishing to contribute can also just post in the thread and tag me, and I'll update the page 4 post as time permits. So as not to clutter this thread, I'll post my time and photo updates to my event journal, which can be found here: I'll also post this link to the page 4 post shortly. I'm feeling fantastic and really looking forward to the whole endeavor, other than the VERY early morning wake-ups to get to the starting corrals. My prettier half could use a few wishes for quickly improved health though as she came down with some kind of bug yesterday. She's a bad az though, I know she'll do just fine. Keep improving every day @jimjum12!

Dylan approves.

Oh it definitely reeks of a lot of things.
