Happy Friday to everyone, especially those lucky enough to NOT be working and also happen to be going to Disney! That makes it an extra special happy day!I got my run out of the way early. I was tired, needed to use the bathroom, and it was hot. Oh, and I didn't want to run. But, of course, I dragged my lazy ass out there to run. Unfortunately, I found out that my watch was low on battery. So, I used the MapMyRun app on my phone instead. In a pinch, it works nicely, although I don't know if I can truly trust the distance and pace numbers. I need to take it to a track and test it out.
Here are my partial numbers:
Time: 20:00
Distance: 2.14 miles
Pace: 9:20/m
Max Pace: 9:00/m
Calories: xxx
Avg HR: xxx
Avg HR: xxx
Max HR: xxx
I got it out of the way and now I am off to Disney! I took my four year old Derek, who you all know already, and my 17 year old son Caleb, who you don't know yet. Quite a difference in age, but that is the great thing about Disney: there is something for every age! Speaking of age, Derek is supposed to pay since he is four, but I lied and said he was two. They didn't care, which is nice, but I don't know how much longer that will work. Seriously, though, three year old children have to pay full admission! Disney may be a lot of fun, but they rob you blind!
Funny aside, when we were going through the line, I coached Derek to say that he is two years old and that he will be three in two weeks. He memorized it and I made sure to tell him not to say anything unless asked. Of course, as we were going through the line and we had just made it past the turnstile, he turns around and yells, "I'm two!!!" They ignored him though, so we got in!
We started out in the Magic Kingdom and eventually made our way to Epcot. Unfortunately, it was raining quite a bit and unlike most days in Florida, it didn't stop for a long time. We tried to go on Mission Space which is one of my favorite rides (although as I age, I get dizzy much easier!) but Derek was too short. Maybe in a year or so.
We stayed in the play area of Mission Space for at least two hours and it was still raining when we left. Most of the rides were now closed in Epcot, so we went back to the Magic Kingdom and went on a few more rides. Then we watched the parade and finally the spectacular video show they project onto the castle. Awesome! And this time, Derek stayed away for the whole thing.
Now, the bad news. My calf hurt me on and off throughout the whole day. This is not good. I could not go down steps without pain and since I often had to carry Derek, it only made it worse. Time for mega doses of Advil and some personal time with my Foam Roller. Now, here are a few pictures. Only a few because I am not a big picture person. I'd rather see what is going on rather than hide behind a camera.

| Oh no! The Evil Zurg has captured my boys! Derek seems unfazed by his predicament. |
