The Magic Feather!

Wow - two days of blog updates in a row - and two full days of exercise in a row! Can it be he's finally finding the traction he's sorely missed for MONTHS?!?!?

So - this is Dumbo. You all know him. And he's my inspiration today. Why? Because he did something nobody thought was possible. You remember?

"I dun seen bout everythang....when I've seen an elephant fly."

Well we've all done that too! I mean - those of us who've finished a half marathon - committed to getting in shape and being healthier? How many of us are people who believed, or had others tell them that it would never happen? That their life was predetermined by "genetics" or by "the past"?

Yeah - me too.

But every day I choose to workout and eat healthy foods, my heart rate declines overall. My muscle tone improves. My waistline shrinks. My weight decreases. And I start to live LONGER, and FULLER.

It occurs to me today that this isn't about "races" per se. I mean we're all racing with ourselves, right? But I mean - the RnR, for instance - isn't some lofty goal. It's training. This is about HEALTH, FITNESS, and DISNEY. And running, walking, crawling, wogging, or whatever we do - IN DISNEY PARKS. Everything else is training to look better in the Disney pictures. :)

Or more importantly - training to feel better with our families in the parks - at home - and for life.

And just like life - we have stumbles - ups and downs - but as long as we keep moving in a forward direction - we can't possibly fail.

Oh yeah - and the ultrasound is TOMORROW. :) You'll see a picture here FRIDAY morning! Who's excited?!?!?

MAIN STREET AWAITS!
