Yes Nick did it again! He ran the Disney Marathon and completed his third year in a row! What a great accomplishment. My friend Becky and I will be doing a 5K in March which doesn’t even compare to what Nick did. Nick says it is all a mental exercise and I agree with him. I am struggling just with the 5k.
While Nick was here for his race we also spent our time trying to new restaurants, going to the parks and just having a fun time with the great weather we were having. It was nice to be able to spend almost a whole week catching up and having fun. It was like a vacation for me as well minus the running. 
One thing we did was rent a 4 person surrey bike with Justin. We were able to drive it around the resort and enjoy just being outdoors. Neither of us had every been on one so it was a great first experience.
I was in the driver’s seat and was told how to use the simple brake. They told us we would come to a bridge where we would need to peddle a lot because it is very fast incline BUT once we got up we would need to use the brake because the decline is worse and there are sharp turns and people would be walking on the sidewalk.
We enjoyed our ride and made it up the incline. As we headed to the decline, I couldn’t get the brake to work and we hit it full force. All I could do is hold on and hope we did not tip, hit a tree or a person on the way down. We were lucky to not do any such thing.
When we completed the full circle, they told us we could go around again and we decided to give it a go. Justin drove this time and mastered the brake that I seemed not to be able to work the first time. When we hit the decline, Justin looked at me before he applied the brake and I just smiled. He let the brake go and we rode the bike downhill again full force laughing all the way.
I realize that sometimes I am so scared that something may go wrong. I spend so much of my time planning for it just in cause. Worried and avoiding anytyhing that may not work out. When I was on the bike, I never thought once the brake would not work for me but we survived. There was nothing to do but to let go and believe it would work out. And it did.
