TFTRT .... goes to Disney together!

Well, this has been a down week for the both of us because we had a little last minute trip to ... you guessed it! WDW!

The incessant rain was really getting old and we had plans to go to Canobie Lake Park with the kids Thursday (assuming Josh didn't get picked for Jury duty which he did not - he was done at 11) However, as the rain came pouring down and we were discussing our alternative activities for the day we jokingly laughed about "lets go to Disney!". Well, of course we weren't going to pick up and go right THEN - but to cheer us up Josh called Southwest to look into some free flights he had to see if we could use them for our January WDW marathon trip ... but alas! The flights were expiring in a few weeks so....... could we ACTUALLY go right now? Was that CRAZY? Well yes, it was crazy but thats what we are!

And from there everything just fell into place:

It WAS a holiday weekend and Josh was VERY SLOW at work Monday, (Thanks Kap for picking up the two clinics!)

and there WERE 3 rapid reward flights available the next day (Friday) returning Monday so......

We called our AllEars teammate and Disney travel agent, Amanda at http://www.mommymouseplans.com and asked her to look into passholder discounts and sure enough ...

35% off at Port Orleans Riverside.

How could we NOT pass up such an opportunity???

So planning and packing took the place of running on Thursday and Friday we headed to the airport to spend the next three days in sunny, hot, NOT RAINY, Florida!

Josh attempted to track our milage walked on the Garmin but we do not have the details yet.
Regardless of the results, we know we walked a lot. Our legs were sore at the end of each day. Although the only time our heart rates were elevated was when we were running through the airport to catch our return flight!

So now we are on day 6 of not running. The training log is looking blank. But tomorrow is a new day and we will be back out there!
