Managed to do both WDW and DL within 60 days this year. I was at DL in October as well. I tell folks these are just two different experiences. It's hard to even compate WDW Toy Story Mania - vehicles feel in better shape (DCA vehicle was essentially not functioning) Tower of Terror - still...

Stayed over Easter. Arrived Saturday evening, driving up from San Diego. Just my wife and I, and room 544 overlooking the neighborhood next door. Spent two nights in a studio. Easter in the parks, leaving Monday for Joshua Tree. We LOVED the resort. Simply gorgeous and it felt like a resort...

People are suprised I am introvert. But I am one, and since I have be "on" at work I need my down/alone time. I use to feel bad about it but now know it what energizes me

I would stay at SSR again over BW. I have now done two stays at BW and each time I came across as underwhelmed besides the location.

Feb = Bike is 262 run=57 - that trip to WDW hit the run miles hard. But it was awesome and would not change it.

Went two weekends ago to celebrate our 30th anniversary with my kids and son-in-law. We had a blast and really amazing experiences. Sunday night we were leaving HS, and I realized I had lost the key to our rental car. Last time I could remember it I had put in the pocket on Rise. My kids and...

We have owned at SSR since 2015. It is one of best places to simply unplug. Love the quiet, relaxed vibe. As someone who suffers from parkitis at WDW, SSR helps me to slow down.

We cycle - and our kids are now adults and more menu adventurous. Kona was a family staple, we ate there twice 12 years ago. But the menu changed, and we have not eaten there in years. Sanaa - my youngest hated it as a young teen, and now he liked it more. Morimoto's is the one we have kept...

They do - I was maybe 70 yards from the elevator to the pool. Not open early and they closed when the guards had to clear the pool deck.

Long weekend trip with our grown children to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. First time all of had been to WDW together since 2018, which was quite surprising. We had been as parts, but never all together. Friday night we ate at Morimoto's, a family tradition. We had the ribs, which is an...

Just rolled back tonight from Paddock 2 bedroom 5327. Right by the elevator, and the pool. We loved sitting by the pool and enjoying the bar. And a short walk over the bridge if we needed to hit the lobby area. The room had been re-done and was in great shape. We had not stayed at our home...

The numbers are in Running 870 miles for the year; compared to 991 in 2022. Biking 2874 compared to 3400 in 2022. And I am excited. I set a goal in 2022 to reduce my mileage by 15% - I was like clockwork for years - 1000+running, plus 3500+ biking. And I failed in 2022. Given my longest race...

After a low mileage July - August was back at it. Granted in July we spent 10 nights in Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota doing the national parks, with an average of 13k steps a day and drove 2200 miles. Can't say enough great things about Tetons and Yellowstone but no running. We did bike...

June 76 miles of running - ahead of pace here Biking - 272 - a week of torrential rain and work really cut into riding.

My local December race offers a great discount today - 9.3 challenge (5k Friday evening, 10k Saturday morning) - 40 bucks.

May 2023 Running: 86 miles - 402 YTD Cycling: 236 - 1166 YTD Cycling seemed light and it was - the weather locally was unusually cool. Plus some travel things/sick things. I missed a bunch of cycling time. Ready to get outside on the bike more.

Race Report: Tar Heel Ten Miler Background: My daughter and son-in-law live locally and are running the race. My new rule was if they invite me , I will run. I "retired" from longer distances in 2020, with my longest run since 2019 being 6.5 miles. I did the race in 2015 when my daughter was a...

April stats - between vacation (Key largo was incredible), work trips, and a race it's the lowest monthly total in a long, long time. Spent 4 Fridays in April in 4 different places - which really contributed. Ran 63 miles (10 was race day) and biked 183. Biking in particular was low.

QOTDL I was never a runner growing up - think offensive lineman, heavyweight wrestler - built to go 10 yards not 10 miles. Lost 100lbs over 10 years ago, got into triathlon and running. Running is the place where I can zone out, and think. at 55, my years running are numbered but still enjoy it...

First race in the books. Tar Heel Ten miler in Chapel Hill, NC with my oldest daughter and son-in-law. I ran this race 8 years ago - I remember it being very hard and being in great shape, First time in 3 and half years breaking double digits on my runs. In March, I ran 8,9 and then 10 on 3...
