2014/01/12 Gayle 2

There is so much to share about today! Our day started at 3:00am. We scrambled some eggs, and headed out to Epcot. After a missed turn we arrived at our destination. There was so much to take in…. so much going on. We arrived at our corral in plenty if time. And waited for the race to begin. Then the race began. Was surprised how emotional I felt at the beginning. Our first mile went well. The second was fast (fast for us)… Then the wheels began to come off the bus. I realized I had forgotten my inhaler and had left it at the hotel. Breath became a HUGE issue. We were determined. And although was literally sucking wind and unable to catch my The rest of the story

The packet pickup and expo were a while lot of fun. We attended a talk on the Science of Sports Bras. It was interesting… who knew it was a science. I did acquire a new supportive undergarment as a result of what I learned (is this TMI?). http://youtu.be/hZ9bBi68ZRk. As I stated, it because abundantly clear we aren’t prepared for this race. But we’re going to have fun fun fun til they make us leave the course. Posted from WordPress for Android. Please excuse any typing miscues.

We found a dalmatian made of Lego Blocks at Lego Adventure in downtown Disney. Sounds like a perfect place for vlog update. We also found a stunt double for Mr Beau Vine….THE HULK…a Lego one, if course! Posted from WordPress for Android. Please excuse any typing miscues.

One of the parts of our trip we were most excited about was riding the train. The adventure of going on the train and riding to our destination felt romantic and unusual. It did not disappoint! I loved the sound of the train whistle all night as we crossed each intersection. I completely enjoyed the rocking of the train. The seats are large (as compared to airplane seats), they recline, and they even have a cool foot rest… we didn’t discover until our ride was almost over. We ate breakfast in the dining car. It was a bit of a splurge… but the food was decent and the experience was awesome. Things I would do different – bring one of those neck pillow (or some The rest of the story

We stopped in Cary for supper at Woody’s Sports Bar. The boneless wings were acceptable. The service was decent. The realization we had left Mr Beau Vine in my coat pocket at home…devastating! Of course, I shared this need on Facebook and Twitter. My buddy called and offered to overnight Beau. People on Facebook offered to help. But I think Beau will just sit out this race (I had concerns about losing him anyway). So now the arduous task of finding a ‘stunt double ‘ for Beau before race day begins. I’m writing from the train. So far the ride has been fun. Although, I may have greatly overestimated how well my (almost) 51 year old body would sleep sitting on the train.
