It’s quite possible that tomorrow’s scheduled Monday morning run will not happen because of the early call time at the Winter Garden Theater.

And last night i did a blinding flash of the obvious, i tightened the three velcro straps on both of my night resting foot splints. There’s a decent chance this will eliminate the left foot pain i occasionally feel.

PS. i’m currently planning on not running tomorrow morning, but i’m also open to the notion that a shorter run is a remote possibility.

We are proud of the fact that pushing the limits energizes us

There is a great temptation to do more, more often. i get it. Working inside Disney for 30 years, it’s crystal clear, we are never satisfied.

This could be a burden. But it’s not. Here’s why.

The whole organization isn’t satisfied. In fact, we are proud of the fact that pushing the limits energizes us.

As Walt Disney (who’s birthday is tomorrow December 5) said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”

Yesterday was a non-run day and i carved out time to visit a former Disney Institute colleague at Disney University (where he’s been for the past decade) for lunch.

Running to Disney’s Magic Kingdom this morning

Yesterday at a red light: i love Disney…me too, so much so that i live next to it.

 

Running to Disney’s Magic Kingdom this morning. Why? Simply because i can. And because i love Disney.

Surprisingly joyful, out of nowhere

Bob was there on opening day, October 1, 1971, which means he was hired before WDW opened.

Surprisingly joyful, out of nowhere. That’s what happens sometimes. In miles five and six above, you’ll notice the pace slowed to a crawl while i talked with not only three Cast Members i worked with in the 1980’s, but also three Disney Institute Cast Members i worked with last year.

My three Contemporary colleagues have 44, 42, and 35 years respective service at Walt Disney World. Then there’s me, a pup, with only 30.
