Just trying to get the jitters out and enjoy the scenery.

My wife used to work for ASI (the photo folks for the race and the ones that shot most every NAS-Ironman event)  So I found one of her friends at the booth and she was able to hook me up with some 1 day passes to one of the parks....SCORE.  We scoped out the MK but were unsuccessful with our goal to have Dr. GoodHands picture taken with Cinderella (sp?)

Went to a New York style local Itallian eatery....decent pasta...and a VERY interesting server and hostess story that can only be told in person and with hand jestures ;)  ;)  Let's just say it is something I will never forget.

Stretched this morning before we left on the drive to Disney.

3 Days Until 26.2 Miles 

Just putting some miles on a fairly new pair of shoes.  Same brand/style/size etc.  Not thinking they are race day shoes yet but you have to have a Plan "B".

I am so stoked.  We are leaving at the crack of stupid Fri morning and I don't know what world-inter-webby-net-thingy access I will have until Monday night so please be thinking of us (me and Dr. GoodHands ((sahooper on BT and fellow Manatee)) at around 10:30 am on Sunday.  We will be at around the 20 mile mark and will be needing some good thoughts and vides from our BT community.

Thanks again for all of the good thoughts and prayers.

We shall SEE.

4 Days Until 26.2 Miles 

Almost forgot to log my Peachy swimming.  Just getting some time in the water and helping to stay loose.  Raining like a SomeBeyotch outside so getting out there is not an option. 

Checked the weather forcast (for the 312th time) for Sunday in Orlando and right now it looke like 50⁰ to start and 72⁰ for a high for the day and no rain until Monday...could be cooler by I will take warm and no rain over the alternative.

5 Days Until 26.2 Miles

Got about 1 hr. of walking.  Just enough to blow the dust off. Peachy Keen.

I hate that I am doing so little just to get the Peach Challenge accomplished but I can't take a chance of overdoing something this last week before Disney.  At least I got it done.

 Saw this quote on my friend AbbieR's blog.  I hadn't seen it in years but I think it is wonderful and it got me to thinking about some things in my life right now.  If something can get me to thinking it must be pretty powerful.

A musician must make music, a painter must paint, a poet must write if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be.

--Abraham Maslow

We shall see.

7 Days Until 26.2 Miles

Feel just a little sore in the ankles today but it is the good kind of sore.  Got in some Peachy Push-ups for the challenge.

On tap for today:

1. Get  stuff ready to leave on Friday at the crack of dumba$$...I always pack at the last minute and I am going to try something different this time...get ready early so I can double check stuff......dang..where do I come up with these brilliant ideas..yes I will consider writing a book.      50 % Done
2. Finish getting the Christmas stuff to the basement. 50% Done
3. Take the H.S. Softball Team to the movies.  They earned the trip by doing some really nice community service.....I think they want to see Bedtime Stories...I guess it could be worse. Done.Saw Eagle Eye...Consipracy theory meets Geek Squad....worth 2 x what I paid to get in...I got in for FREE.  Convoluted but somewhat entertaining.
4. Check to see that the pool is back open...and if it is...GET IN IT. Opens Monday
5. Laundry for the DGD's for school starting back on Monday.  :-/  Done
7. Repeatedly thank my Oldest DS for all the hard work over the Holidays.  He has really stepped up the last month and I need to acknowledge that...several times.  Done x3
