For a final mini-vacation before summer we took the family to the Disneyland Hotel (great discounts for annual passholders). We pretty much spent all day in the Never-Never-land pool. Needless to say, I was wiped out when I woke at 6:30 AM today. My family thought I was pretty ridiculous to get up and run on a one day vacation.
That’s my name – call me ridiculous : )
But, but, but . . . I didn’t run the day before, and it was time to run. I only put in a few miles anyway. They were tranquil but so, so hard. That chlorine and sun and calories and sleeping in a strange place really wiped me out!
So, as the resort prepared for the Disney Half Marathon (setting up Start Line, Porta Potties, tents, etc), I ran through a downright empty Downtown Disney.
You Never See Downtown Disney this Empty! Never.
I have to say these 3.25 miles were about the hardest I’ve run in a long, long time. It was like I wasn’t a runner at all. Still I’m glad I went ahead and put in a little time.

And then we had breakfast at Goofy’s kitchen – the most expensive breakfast you can imagine, not unmatched by the most caloric breakfast you’ll ever eat! I’m afraid those 3.25 miles didn’t put a dent in breakfast : )
