I can't wait to watch this!!!!!!!! I'll be gone all day so will probably have to wait until tonight or tomorrow to watch it, but don't worry I'll leave lots of comments as soon as I can watch. This will get us both super hyped up for the January half!!!!

[@AdventureLeighs]

Hi ladies! Michael here. I know I don't comment much on your channel but watch just likes Julie does, and when I don't she always catches me up on your adventures! This one was special to me so I had to comment. I know how it is when you enter your first race. And let me say congratulations on your medal on your completion and on your toughness to finish this. I was actually severely injured at a Disney race in 2018 and still have not fully recovered. My leg was paralyzed for close a year and only then could rehab really begin. As you know, Julie and I will be trying the half marathon distance in January and I am scared to death. I was crying right along with you two because I know how many emotions a person goes through when attempting a race. And it doesn't matter the distance. Again, I just want to say congratulations and a Thank You to both of you for having the courage to be real and show everything you were feeling the entire morning. What about the Dolphin?! How insane that on Disney property you are guaranteed a bus beginning at like 3:45am and you couldn't find any at a luxury Disney hotel! That is pretty unforgivable. It was so nice for you to also accommodate some other people who needed a ride. This video just exemplifies how you two are just great people. I hope you will have the opportunity to do many more races and continue to challenge yourselves. I know it is an inspiration to others who need this kind of content. Your kindness is so infectious. I hope you two have an amazing day. I will see you soon in another video!

@michaelandjulie Michael, we're so sorry to hear about your injury. Yet we are so grateful that you’ve recovered and have the courage to try again in January. We admire you so much for that and for everything you both do … moving to another country! Of all the people we have met through our channel, you two are in our top 5 to support and meet and encourage. We so look forward to meeting you all if it works out. Thank you just aren’t enough words to share exactly how we feel… you both are truly a blessing. - Heather

watching the video again to keep my laptop "awake" to upload a mammoth video & give you some watch time hours!!!!!!!

[@michaelandjulie]

I can't watch this right now, but I'm going to leave it playing while I upload a video to our channel to keep my laptop "alive" hahaha. Can't wait to have time to come back and watch later, but at least wanted to give you a full watch and the watch time hours while I'm away from home!!!

[@AdventureLeighs]

@michaelandjulie Julie, That’s so sweet of you! Thank you so much! 🥰 as I just replied to Michael … you both are true blessings to us!

[@michaelandjulie]

Hi ladies!!! I'm finally able to sit down and watch your 5k video and let me just start off by saying CONGRATULATIONS, I already know that you finished from the pictures that you shared and I'm sooooo proud of you for making it all the way!!! But even if you hadn't made it all the way to the finish line, I'd still be so proud because you two are definitely heroes in my eyes. I know that you're struggling to do this and that it would have been so tempting to stop at any moment, but this was a lifelong dream for you to finish. I'm so happy that you were able to complete your dream and check this off your bucket list and I was in tears when you made it to the end!! I hope it didn't take too many days to recover from the stress you were under. How sweet that those who finished earlier came back to cheer on the later groups. This is the kind of loving kindness that warms my heart so much and it's wonderful to see in the Disney community. It's really special that you two are so open and share your struggles but also show how you continue to work around them to live your life and enjoy things like Disney and events like this. I think that's such an important powerful message, not only to help encourage others to find a way also, but also to help people who aren't going through the same struggles understand and have more patience and compassion. I know you're taking a step back from KZbin, but I really hope you don't stop uploading entirely. You have created such a beautiful, kind, happy little corner in the internet

@michaelandjulie thank you with all our hearts 💕. We also want to encourage others and love outward like you do. We so look forward to meeting you both in January if that works out. ❤️ - Heather
