42F.  16 @ 7:23 AP.  Another cool run from Aunt Laura's house.  Made it to San Felasco Park for some trail running, though most of the run was transiting to the park.  Maybe 6 miles of trails total.

Driving to Orlando today.  Good visit in Gainesville, I always love visiting here.  Got to see my 93-year-old grandmother every day.  She's quite a lady - raised 7 children, and lived all over the world as my grandpa was a career Air Force officer for 30 years (fought in WWII, Korea and Vietnam), so she had to handle all the kids by herself a lot.  Must have been some interesting times...  14 grandkids and 7 great-grandkids now!  

We're all sleeping like princesses tonight!

55F.  10 brisk miles around the resort.  Pedestrians are the resort's implicit prisoners -- the streets on the outside have no shoulders or sidewalks and the traffic moves pretty fast...no thanks.  They make up for it with a "new balance running trail" which is about a 1-mile loop.  So I did that a couple time then rebelled as much as I could without going on Suicide Road.  Good aerobic run.

47F.  8 @ 7:01 AP.  Resort miles, included a 2 x 1 (6:03, 5:55) to get the legs going.  I don't think I'd gone faster than MP in over a month so this was needed.  Actually, more than 2 miles was needed but I'm on vacation here...out of my element.  Epcot wasn't as fun for the kids yesterday so we were only there for 11 hours.  I remember when I thought an 8-hour day at sea world was long.

43F.  15 @ 7:03 AP.  Last 8 @ 6:30/mile.

Hollywood Studios yesterday - is there any movie that Disney doesn't own the rights to these days?  My daughter now has a stuffed Mickey with a Star Wars flight suit on.

40F.  8 @ 7:38 AP.  Last few Disney miles, now we're waiting in the airport.  Great vacation, I must say.  By forcing the kids to miss school we really skipped out on the big crowds (and big prices) that DW usually has.  Yea truancy!

I did ok trying to run while in FL - 74 miles in the 8 mornings we had here, including 1 run that I could count as a workout.  The time on feet from visiting the parks all week also has to count for something, right?  Probably not.
