Characters & Corral Shock! | runDisney Wine & Dine 10K & ACS Team Brunch

One in nine, 20, 23, booyah, baby. Morning, friends. Bit of a hectic start to our 10K morning. Fell asleep in James' room, which means that my phone was not charging, which also means my alarms were not set, my good alarm was not near me. Wonderfully, Sarah woke me up, which was crazy, because yesterday, she didn't wake up at all from the alarms, and I did. And then today, I didn't have the alarm set, but she got up, got up, got me up. So, having a little profuffle, running around, making sure I got out on time. Phone isn't as charged as I'd like it to be, but hey, we're happy, we're healthy, we're here, we're ready to run a 10K. Gonna make my way to security and find Ben and Carolyn, and then just enjoy this morning. It's a little cool, about five degrees cooler, or warmer than yesterday, but I have my Mylar from yesterday, if I need it. And I'm excited for more characters today, for a good race. All right, we got Maribel. And I found Carolyn, by the way. With the mixing beginning at 5 p.m. Woo! All right, we're nearing the start of the 10K. I'm in C Corral, because I did not put in proof of time. I feel good about today's race. Good temperature, good route. I'm ready to run. What a queue. What a long queue. What is this? That is a long queue. Where's the track? Oh, it's Gaston. Nice. What do we got here? Donald and Daisy. Chefs, love it. All right, marker mile two. I started in C Corral. You can see how long these queues get. We got Pinocchio and Timoney. Adorable, love it. Okay, we're nearing the last section of boring road. Look, it's a beast. All right, after we go up this on-ramp, we go east a little bit. I'm coming to the back side of the studios, and then it's home turf advantage. Studios, Crescent Lake, UPCOM. All right, mile three. Just under halfway. Let's go have some fun. All right, coming into studios. Who we got, who we got, who we got? Too long of a line for me. Ah, it's like baking chip and ale. Look at that. Love it. All right, do a little heartbeat reset. And then go see Fantastic. Here's a question, I think I already know. I don't think Christmas is set up yet. I was wrong. Christmas is set up. Christmas is here, woo-hoo! All right, mile four. Let's head to Crescent Lake and have some boardwalk fun. All right, still long lines, but I have to check out the main race themselves. Macon Mini. Looking cute. And now, come on. This is when the real fun begins. Boardwalk and the World Showcase. Woo-hoo! Look what we got here. Hey! Coming out a few months early, I suppose, but we love to see our main man go big. Look at that. Bigger, lines are getting shorter. Still passing, though. It's got a race to finish. Here we go. Mile six. Let's finish strong. Woo-hoo! Woo! Oh yeah, felt really good during the race. So I'm not gonna lie, I was shocked to be back in C, not because of C, but because of the beginning of the race experience I had. There was just so many clumps of people that I couldn't even run for the first quarter of a mile. I literally was basically walking to the point where I was like, I'm done with this, and I did the risky move of just hopping onto the grass, and I ran literally two whole miles in the grass. I definitely need to get a proof of time to get back to at least B corral. I ran that unofficial time of 101.28. I think 101 is a cutoff, so I'm gonna be pretty bummed if I'm 28 seconds away from proof of time, and I definitely know there was probably a solid, at least 70 seconds of wasted time and space in that race, just dodging crowd, dodging groups of people who were walking five abreast next to each other. So, hey, different strategies. I gotta get in the corrals earlier than I'm used to now that I'm back in C corral. So, it was still a phenomenal race. Lots of good characters. I liked that the sun from Anita Roberts was out. I didn't stop for anybody because the queues were just too big by the time I got through them, but really good weather, really good race, really good spectating. Just 10K is a good distance for Run Disney if you're ever thinking about doing it. There's more pump to it, there's more to see, and I got to see a Hollywood Studios Christmas. I'm gonna go spectate some finishers and cheer people on because that's also half the fun. All right, we are at the boardwalk. We're gonna go to the ACS team. Yeah, you can jump over. You want me to hold your hand? You're gonna walk around it? James doesn't want to go over the crate. He's scared of falling in it. Common intrusive thoughts of humans. It's a team brunch at Seabreeze Point. Sarah's a committee member. She's gonna help set up and hang out with the kids. We're gonna eat some food and then rest because apparently I'm gonna try to race tomorrow. Yes, we did. It's good to see you again. I am loving your costume. Thank you. You're welcome, sweetheart. Everyone in this room has a story and in that story, we have our best, which is cancer. Our last set of heroes are Rob and Jen from Team Eat My Big Meal. And number one, Duncan. Come on, Duncan. Wait a minute. It's the end of the 10K vlog. Why am I back in my running stuff? And why am I at Disney Resort? Because my buddy Steve from Tampa is here by himself and Sarah and I came up with a strategy where I'm just gonna come crash in his little mermaid room so Sarah can sleep in a little bit with the boys and meet us at the finish line because the route doesn't really allow for spectators anywhere else. So I just arrived. Say hello to Ursula. And I'm gonna go to Steve's room and drink my Morton's drink and get ready for bed. Early start. And yes, I'm not even wearing my shoes. Man, I should go swimming. I've never had this level of relaxation before. And what up, Brooklyn? Ready to run a half marathon? Yes. Thanks for saving up. Woo! Stretch over here. Look at the layout. He's got the fit out already. What kicks are we going with? I'm gonna run with these. Nice. This body is frozen. Nice, nice, nice. Got some extra stuff for you, man. Thanks, man. Some bagels, some honey stingers. Brought way too much. It's in the Yorker for you. That's right. Are you playing with Duplos? This has been all the rage in our house lately. If this is not what tired looks like, I don't know what is. I'm home with the boys. Peter said he gave a little bit of an update. And so James is asleep upstairs and I'm about to put Teddy to bed. I don't know what time we're leaving. Um, because we've been low on sleep, I kind of want to like give us grace in that sense, but also be like diligent in getting over to the race. So a little bit of both tonight or tomorrow rather. It's 8.45 though. And all the good, all the good sleep vibes would be appreciated. I know this is going to be tomorrow, but I can still, I'll still put it out there. It is good to be home. Love a race weekend. We know what our goals are. We know what we hope to accomplish. And believe me, it's the most exciting and challenging assignment we've ever tackled at Walt Disney Productions.
