Monday - I woke up feeling good. I was bummed I missed my long run the day before so I decided to run it today on the treadmill. This new foot pod thing is really cool. It's amazing to see how different your paces can be even though you haven't changed the speed on the treadmill itself. As usual mine were all over the place.

Friday - I got up early to run outside. Apparently all my neighbors had the same idea. I've never seen so many of us out at the same time. This run was way too fast, but it was one of those days where it was physically awkward to run slow.

Eliana and I were headed to Yacht Club for two nights and planned to spend the morning in Stormalong Bay. Yacht Club is AWESOME. The lobby is gorgeous and the rooms after their refurb were incredible. So much thought went into comfort and convenience. We spent the morning in the pool, went to France in Epcot for lunch, more pool time in the afternoon followed by a nap. We went to Hollywood Studios that night. We had dinner at 50's Prime Time. It was gross. Sorry for anyone who likes it, but I won't ever go back. I forgot to take pics of the rest of the room.
Saturday - We slept in and I had a hard time dragging myself out of bed, but I eventually did. I forgot to pack breakfast so I grabbed a banana and cereal bar in the store and ate it on my way to the gym. It was pretty busy in there. The treadmills looked out over the pool area. I had a hard time adjusting the speed on the treadmill. There is a lever on the handrails and wasn't cooperating very well. I decided to skip strides and just run at a bit of a quicker pace. I did not adjust the speed of the treadmill, but look at how different my paces are!

I finished my run, showered, got ready for the pool and then we went to Ale & Compass for lunch. It was very good and a place I would definitely return to. We spent a few hours at the pool then napped before our night at MK. We had dinner reservations at Be Our Guest with their new Prix Fixe menu. For $55 you get an appetizer, entree & dessert (I paid $44 for having a Tables in Wonderland card). You can choose your app & entree, but everyone gets the same dessert. I think the menu change was for the better. Eliana and I both had the escargot & filet mignon. I literally cleaned my plate. It was that good. We had tickets to the Disney After Hours party from 10pm-1am). We only lasted until 12:30. Eliana fell asleep on the bus on the way back to YC!
Sunday - We were not in a rush to leave so we slept in. I decided to run once the sun started to go down. I should have just sucked it up and gone to the gym. I didn't finish this run. I got the chills again, dizzy and was nauseous. Something was also up with my watch. I adjusted my workout pace to be between 11:50-12:00 because of the weather. My watch said I was running in that range, but when my lap time was displayed it was completely off for every mile but one. And it was by A LOT. So I think that contributed to me getting woozy. If I was running faster than my watch was displaying that was not good. I did a hard reset of my watch yesterday so hopefully the issue is resolved.
