Disney Wrapup

I have been home six days from the trip. I ended on a bit of a bummer, knocking my head on a bus and getting a concussion. But, before that it was a great weekend! So, let's talk about that ...

Disney race weekend is a busy "vacation". There was the expo...sorry Mickey. Not the best planned expo ever. Lots of cool things, but setup was bad and had huge lines of people lining up to buy merchandise. I felt sorry for the vendors who had their booths blocked by these lines. Not fun. And I love an expo!

They had several awesome speakers while I tried to locate my firstborn child. Jeff Galloway and Tara Guidner. At least I think thats her last name. She is the Disney nutritionist and also the same for the Orlando Magic (boooo....) . Good speaker though and while I didn't get a lot of new info for me, it was interesting in the presentation. And I learned some good techniques from her perspective. I had my "bridge" snack a little while ago, Tara!

The downside about Disney is the miles and miles of walking that are not counted for the race. I have never done all of that before as my butt was "on a bench" as I mentioned in the previous post. But it was nothing I wasn't capable of...which was awesome!

I attended the Test Track and had a first! You climb in and proceed up the track and then an employee checks your seat belts before the ride can proceed. WELL : At the belt check, the lovely Disney employee yelled across, " Ma'am ! Your car car can't go on until you take all that slack out of your seatbelt!" Yeah, that's right...read that again. I tightened it down and smiled...:)

The Saturday race with my daughter was fun . Like a back lot tour by foot. Employees out cheering us on, places to stop for pictures. And Disney peeps pouring us big cups of water from Dasani bottles. Yes, they treat you well there. Oh and our corral sang " Don't Stop Believing" before the starting gun. Damn, I love a sing a long in a big crowd.

Was my daughter's cheerleader on Sunday for the Princess Half. Her third, but first at Disney. And it was hot all day. Very proud of her.

Looking forward to doing another. In fact I think we are going to do Marathon Weekend in January!
I only want to one Half...it is a redemption of sorts. I started a Half two years ago and failed after slipping and jacking my ankle. And even if I walk the whole thing, it's important to me that I complete it. I just CAN'T leave that undone.
