We Did It!

Well, the Holidays have come and gone.

And the boys have returned to school.

But there was so much that happened!

Todd Jr required an application of superglue to his head... Don't ask!

Santa brought a PS3 for the boys, and life will never be the same again.

Meme and Foe Foe have left the Big Easy and returned to the Alabama Coast... they even came over for Christmas day!

And finally after another year of training... and a few bouts of pain, we returned to the Walt Disney World Resort to take on the Goofy Race and a Half Challenge.

First, we visited with Grammie and Dada in Tampa...
We even got to spend some special time with Great Grandad and Gigi...
Also, while in Tampa the boys had a great time with their cousins, Kati, Timmy, Sarah and Jessica!

When we arrived at WDW we made our way to the ESPN Wide World of Sports to pick up our race packets and check out the EXPO.


Then, first thing Friday morning, was Todd Jr's race.

He and his Uncle Cory ran the Family Fiesta 5K.
Unfortunately, the photo with Uncle Cory was seriously blurry, you wil have to check out facebook to see the others from that race! 
We were so proud of them both!
And yes, Todd "won"!


Grant waiting for Todd and Cory to Star their run.

Next, bright and early on Saturday morning was the 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles)!

And Woody and Jessie were on the scene...

Tutu's and all....

Todd was a HUGE HIT!!!


Here we are around the 1/2 way point of the race getting our photo in front of the Castle!

The Gang's all here!

There was only .1 left to go!

Until the next day when there was another 26.2 more.

Sadly, I had no pics on our camera of this day.
I have to say though, I am so proud of Todd... he did an amazing job... 4hrs 37min for the Full Marathon!
Mine was not nearly as impressive and I will be honest at mile 10 I considered throwing in the towel.
But, despite the stake that was being driven through my right foot, I made it in plenty of time and with lots of tears!  (Heel spurs and Plantar Faciitis SUCKS!!)
I will get some photos from Dada to upload on the next post.

Speaking of Dada and Grammie....
Thank you so much again for taking such good care of our boys while we were running.
You are AMAZING and take such good care of us.
BTW, Grant is still talking!
We love you!!!!!!!!

As always, the experience was fantastic, funny and full of memories!
Thanks Walt.
