Morning

Good morning!!!

I didn't get to do my running program yesterday.I was busy with the kids and just ran out of time.Today is early I have a lot to do today.

We were going to go to Disney for my daughter's birthday and we have decided not to so now she is planning a party.We will probably go later in the month of July.Not during the week I go to school for continuing ed.{yuck}Then I have to study to take another test and do more continuing education on line in the majority of my spare time.{yuck}Plus fit in training and making sure I do not snack a lot during this.That is my weakness.

My parents want my son to come up for the month and my Dad is laying out all these demands and I am starting to feel like it's not going to be worth the hassle he is making it out to be.{big sigh}

I hope Kate is having a good time on her trip and can't wait to hear back from her.Joggerblogger I hope you do not have so much pain and feel better soon.When you come over for the TOT race you can bring me one of your pictures you draw and I will add it to my collection if you don't mind.:)

I forgot to take my book with me,so those 45 minutes were very long.I will be trying to go in the mornings to do the elliptical then go back later to do my other training so I can make some progress on loosing some of this weight.I may not be able to go in the mornings that I have to work,But I will figure it out.E has been pushing me lately and I am great full for him to do that.I believe that's what I needed.

Well trivia question was answered by Karma!!!!
The answer is Fauntleroy.I am looking in to why this was his middle name.
I got the trivia question from Disney Insider.
Next question:
What Fantasy land attraction was operating on Disneyland's opening day?

I also read on all ears.net that the TOT race time limited was set for 2.5 hours for a reason.There will be some spooky surprises along the way.But if you are doing only the 6.5k you won't get the surprises along the way.You have to do the 10k.Sounds like fun.I can speed walk that.So I am not worried about keeping pace for that race.

That is SO true!!!!!

What is Donald Ducks middle name? {Answer tomorrow}Can you guess it???

Hard On Myself

Well I went out side and walk/jog.I was using a podcast I have.With it being so humid and hot,I can't get my breathing right.I only made 4 60 second runs and 4 walks at 90 seconds.I felt like a smoker.I couldn't finish the rest of the program.So I walked til I was able to breathe normal.I have tried to add the map to my blog but I can't.It won't show it.I 'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
4 times around equals 2.0 miles.Yeah but I got so mad cause I have put so much work into training and this is all I can do.My body is telling me go and my breathing is telling me to stop.Is there anything I can do to improve it?? I do random hills on the bike then I speed walk on the TM.

I have been real hard on myself,and I expect to do better.I am not a quitter but man lately it's just been rough and I just felt like this isn't for me.{deep sigh}E was telling me that I just need to work on taking it outside so I can get use to the heat and humidity.Well following the program I don't run/walk today.So I will go to the gym since they don't close early today.

I didn't go to work today.I got canceled.The floor I work on is also closed.So that means when I go in tomorrow that I will float to where ever they put me,even if I don't like the floor.

Here is a picture from Boca Grande the west coast of Florida.The kids are looking for sharks teeth and they found alot too.{2006}


This one is standing on the walkway bridge waiting to see the sunset.Meals:

Runner's World Kick In The Butt:
Don't expect everyday to be better than the last one.Some days will be slower than others,and some days might even hurt a bit.But as long as you're on the road, it's a good day.

Maybe that's what I need a kick in the butt!!!

Introducing Snap Shots from Snap.com

I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, excerpts of Wikipedia articles and IMDb profiles, inline videos, MP3s, stock charts and more.

Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you “look ahead,” before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, just click “Disable” in the upper right corner of the Snap Shots bubble and opt-out.

Afraid??

Happy Father's Day to all the Father's out there.

Part 2

There was no training due to a medical emergency yesterday.It was very draining and it took alot out of everyone here.We were up til the early morning hours.It's tough when I have a child with a mental illness,and there are times he just needs to be hospitalized.

Well back to the trip...
On Saturday we got up late since we were in the kingdom til 2a.That was just a lot of fun.We did a lot of park hopping on Saturday.We went to Epcot,Animal kingdom we rode Mt.Everest again and bought the picture this time we look so funny.Then we went to MK just to get ice cream on Main Street.That's when we noticed the Plaza.It's right next door.It has a great menu and has a lot of veggie options to choose from.we are going to try it when we go back.

Then went back to the hotel and got ready to go to Typhoon Lagoon.They had extra magic hours so we got to stay there til 9p.Let me say if you can drive yourself to that water park do so,the ride is long to get to it and it makes stops in downtown Disney before you arrive there.40 minutes. The crusher gusher is awesome!!!!Just hold your bum up or it will drag on the bottom and make it sore.Lots of stairs to climb.My knees just didn't like all the darn things so I had to take my time climbing them.

Went back to the room and went to bed early since we were leaving in the morning to drive to the east coast to see my family.Over all it was a great trip!!!

Meals:
B:none
l: cereal,milk
S:kashi crackers
D: chicken,salad,loaded fries,fries cheese,turkey chili,

Well here we are in a new month.I have not done any time in running yet for the Junathon. We have been making the final plans on our trip to Disney this coming week.We are going to be leaving out on Thursday to go and meet up with Eric's parents in Boca Grande on the west coast.Then leave there Friday early morning and meet his sister and some more in laws for the day at Disney MK. WE are making breakfast reservations for 9!! I saw on Kate's blog about the gatherings breakfast and I thought to call about that before we made it final.We are wearing all matching outfits from the Disney store.I will post pictures later. Then on Saturday after breakfast with the in Laws we will be going to go to Star Wars weekend.I missed 06.This one will be Eric's first. Can't wait!!!

Friday was my off day from training.
Today we are going shortly to the gym since it has been pouring here for 2 days straight!!!



For TOT in October We plan on arriving on 10/26 in the evening,and do the NSSHP that evening I believe and then the run on Saturday evening,and pick a park on Sunday.And we are waiting to set reservations for the on site room cause we are going to be looking in to one of the suites.The weekend of 6/30-7/1, we are going back to the kingdom for my daughter's birthday,and she doesn't know that her grandparents are meeting us there.And her Grandpa{my dad} has never been in the MK!!!!!!NEVER!!!!! I haven't been able to get him to go,but when she asks,he just steps up and wants to surprise her.That's going to be fun!!!!!
We are having shirts made and all. :)

Oh yeah, in Dec. during Mouse fest,if you want to meet let me know what the dates are .I have to in for the dates starting in July.The holidays are busy in the hospital and everyone wants off.In Jan.we will be running the family fun run in the AK in 08.
