Dig Deep - Like a Kid Looking For a Booger

pshaw_ravenWe survived the 10k!
I decided to run with Fox. For fun and moral support - I know how discouraging it feels when you're digging as deep as you can, and it feels like everyone is passing you. But we maintained a decent pace and even were able to sprint the finish. Well, I started running a little faster in the finish chute, then Fox caught up, and I think we both developed "horse race mentality" at that point. He iced his leg after and seems to be all right, just tired. We both slept pretty poorly.
I believe today's plans include Magic Kingdom to see the Christmas decorations that have gone up, potentially lunch at Pecos Bill's since they upgraded their menu. I'll be grilling up chicken thighs and making pasta with vodka sauce and shaved parm here tonight. I bought the vodka sauce bottled for ease of prep.
I was having a brainstorm last night, or maybe more like a brain fart. I've got a pizza stone meant for use over live fire. I could grill a pizza out here. I'm not sure how I'd handle the dough, so I'd probably want to do a trial run at home but it might be a yummy option during Marathon Weekend that doesn't involve needing to go to Disney Springs or anything.
Tomorrow's half marathon should go well. I'm not sure how Fox wants to run it but I assume if we just go the same as we did today we'll be fine. I'm not out here to PR or anything, and it's more fun if we get our photos together. He'll always be more photogenic than me but sometimes that makes for some pretty damn funny race photos. I know in one this morning I was probably making "angry cat no banana" face because the flood lights bother me.
