We were on a Disney Cruise this week hence the lack of exercise even though we tended to walk the stairs versus using the elevators majority of the time. Overall the 5 night family vacation cruise was great a great success. On Disney Cruises they always have a 5k when you visit their private island in the morning to start the day off. Even though during this cruise I started to feel the affects of staying home with Nathan 2 days the previous week while he was sick. When I woke up I could hardly talk and my throat was on fire from all of the drainage from my sinuses. So this little event met in one part of the ship then you walked three quarters of a mile to the start the run and then had the rest of the day on the island to enjoy everything. I sized up the competition and thought I still had a chance to win even though I felt terrible!! So I set a comfortable pace at the start and one guy tried to push the pace which still was not to hard. He started to fall as another guy came up from behind at the halfway point. I let him set the pace for a little bit then put to little surges down to see what he had and he wasn't going to let me just go. So I let him set the pace and thought I'll just put down a surge at the last turn which is approximately .25 mi from the finishline. We hit that turn and I laid down the hammer and there really wasn't any response so I finished with the boys and Jamie watching me win the race. Ya it wasn't a big race or anything but the boys saw me start and finish with a win. They enjoyed it and told everyone the rest of the day that their Dad won the 5K which was fun and the overal goal of partaking even though I was in rough condition.
