    Throwback Thursday to our first trip to Disney. Rebecca was sick the whole time and I was fat the whole time, but we made the best of it!

      Great job taking all of the weight off!!! I started running about 18 months ago and took 55 pounds off in 5 months. Running completely changed my life for the better. You must feel so much better!!!

      Leaving our apartment afterwork on the 17th and driving to Jackson, MS where we will stay the night. Waking up earrrrrly on the 18th and driving to Haines City, FL to check-in (late) at Ironman 70.3 Florida and then at our hotel near Orlando. I race on Sunday and then we will spend the 20th until the 24th at the various Disney World theme parks. The only two that are 'scheduled' will be Magic Kingdom on the 21st because we have reservations at Cinderella's Castle and the 24th at Animal Kingdom.

      She knows about the trip and about Disney, doesn't know about Cinderella's Castle or the Astros game.

    Same idea...high intensity, low volume recovery run as I dripped dry from the swim. Good "transition run" I guess.

  19. Today's #dailymission - We all know that the quality of our sleep has an impact on our athletic performance. How much sleep do you normally get?

    I aim for 8, but typically average 7.
