I can’t believe I forgot to mention this, but I won my first Nike+ Challenge! Over the thirty days of the Metafilter 1.0 Challenge, I logged 88.37km (which is just shy of 55 miles). I can’t believe it either. Especially since I injured myself halfway through and thus had to walk all the rest of it. I feel a little guilty actually, seeing as how the other participants were all dealing with the Northern Hemisphere winter and I was cruising through summer. I’m also lucky to live such a pedestrian-friendly city where I can walk to work and back every day. I’m sure the MeFites will get me next time. Many thanks to Hoey for setting it up and especially to pyjammy and pjrivera for pushing me ever further. 🙂
Yay! I’ve finally got something on my virtual trophy shelf!

Any Disney/Orlando advice for us?
I’m finalizing the details of our stay in Orlando next month(!). We get in on the evening of Tuesday the 10th, and we fly out on Monday the 16th. I was looking at staying in a Disney Hotel, but JEEZ they’re expensive! Mousesavers.com recommended this place instead, and that’s what I’m leaning towards. (Especially since it’s right across the road from Celebration; I’ve always wanted to go there!) So I’m thinking we stay there throughout that week and do the touristy stuff. We do have the Astronaut thing on the 12th, which unfortunately means (I think) that the multi-day Disney tickets that save you money aren’t going to be any good for us, since we wouldn’t be going to the parks on consecutive days. The Snook’s not a huge thrill-ride guy, so I’m thinking we can give Universal a miss. (Though I went there in 2000 and LOVED it.) So I’m thinking maybe one day at the Magic Kingdom, and then another day at Epcot. Normally I’d give the MK a pass since I’ve been there before (and Rodd went to the one at EuroDisney), but then again he’s never ridden the Haunted Mansion and neither of us have been on Splash Mountain. Neither of us have been to Epcot, and I think we’d like that. Is Animal Kingdom worth going to? I like the sound of Expedition Everest, but the rest doesn’t sound too spectacular. I’ve done MGM before and – though I might be able to drag the Snook onto the Tower of Terror – I doubt he’d enjoy it much. Any thoughts or suggestions? (We’ll probably spend that Saturday/Sunday with my relatives.)
