Trip Report - Part I - and Update

We are just about three weeks from race day.

I'm hoping on Monday to post a good number from this week - and I'll be hitting the elliptical hard tomorrow and Sunday - and staying away from the sweets at our holiday party on Sunday. :)

As for the comments from Tuesday - they were ALL great! You guys are an awesome support group!! And Amanda has it right on her blog - the JOURNEY - is huge. So here's a great way for me to gauge my success! January and February - SAME EXACT COURSE. So I should improve, right? :)

Okay - back to the trip. This picture was taken on the morning of Day 2. Day 1 was travel day.

Day 1 was also when we had to call emergency services.

Elizabeth took a header into a chair leg. And had a lump growing out of her forehead the size of a small orange. We FREAKED OUT. But if you call emergency services from your room - a manager and security come wait while RCDD 911 comes.

They were with us within 5 minutes. They evaluated Elizabeth (no cost) - and gave us their honest opinion - which was no x-ray was necessary.

They really did a lot to counter our panic and put us at ease. Thankfully!

On that first day, we woke up LATE - we were exhausted from the night before's drama. So we headed to the MK. Got our APs renewed, and saw Princess Fiona at lunch!

We just spent the day kinda ambling around the parks and doing so in a leisurely fashion. It was a very relaxing trip. No "go go going". Which was nice for a change.

Okay - more soon!

EPCOT AWAITS!

  1. I'm glad everything is okay with your daughter. She is at that age everyone hates when kids are always bumping their heads on stuff.

  2. Ah, the joys of little ones falling and conking themselves on the head...Glad everything was okay!

    Keep moving those legs and getting time on your feet. No rest on the race course, you've got a medal to collect at the finish line!!!

  3. Holy Cats!!! I would have freak too!!

    Look...you're gonna have to do me a huge favor. I am unable to to this race.I don't think I will be able to come up either.
    So I am asking you to walk this race like you own it!! I have been your biggest supporter outside of your family..
    Please walk each mile with a purpose..walk it for Me. Rae what's up??? Look I can hardly walk right now. My lower lumbar spine ,sacrum is keeping me from doing anything.{Not responding to PT}
    So if you need a reason to keep going and you feel you can not keep pace. Think of Rae. Think of your Team Mate who can't do this.. Who followed you around...Waited for you at the finish line even when I wasn't suppose too. So I am asking you to do this for me.
    Please send me your bib number...
    Epcot Awaits!!!

  4. So what happened to, "So that's what I'm going to do! Use the gym at the Contemporary!"? How many times in 11 days did this happen?

  5. Merry Christmas to you and your family. :-)

    As for the training/race stuff...just make sure you are not putting yourself in a position to get hurt or risk any kind of health issues. I know you have a huge heart and desire to do great, but the numbers have to guide how you are going to attack this thing. Big picture, right?
