Disney Marathon Weekend 2012

World Drive is the main street in our hometown, which hosts big time running events.

The Central Florida sun is just about to peek over the tree line in my neighborhood. This is the fifth and final blog I’ll write this morning. Outside temp is 49. Not a cloud in the sky. And as soon as this post is done, I’m out the door for a 5-miler.

So in a brief story (Walt Disney’s teaching tool of choice) I explained to our son I wished I had been taught earlier in life how to use my own words – to not doubt that my explanation would be as good as anyone else’s.
