Morning!  In Court all morning.  4-5 miles tonight.

Morning!  I got so lost on my run yesterday!  I planned a nice easy loop or two around Epcot, but there was a ton of construction and no sidewalks or shoulder, so I ended up running towards Downtown Disney.  I ran past that to Saratoga Springs, and it was finally getting nice when I hit my turnaround point.  So I decided to keep going for another mile, which put me in the Treetop Villages past the golf course.

So anyway, I must have gotten turned around on the golf course, because looking at the map later, when I 'turned around", I headed exactly the opposite direction from where I needed to go!  I couldn't see any landmarks any more, and I ended up in some uninhabited area with a motor pool and some warehouses.  Finally I ended up on a road, but without sidewalks.  And by then, it was getting dark.

I found a warehouse that looked more inhabited, and waited for somebody to come out, and asked him if he could call me a cab (I had money, but idiotically hadn't brought my phone).  Eventually, more people came out.  The consensus was don't call a cab, it will never come.  But they could give directions.   The consensus was also "WTF, you ran here?"

There were two routes.  One was longer, and had no sidewalks, but was populated.  It would take me back to Downtown Disney, which would be 2 miles from my hotel.  The other was direct back to my hotel, and had sidewalks, but was very dark and desolate- no businesses or houses.

I took the dark route and headed out.  Actually, the directions were great.  I was about 2.3 miles from my hotel at that point.  And it was completely desolate and the trees were so tall that I couldn't see anything at all until I was like 3 blocks away.  But I made it back just in time to meet me coworkers for dinner.

Zel, there was lots of construction around Disney when we were there in October.  I did all of my running in the Old Key West and Saratoga Springs resorts, just running around all their roads, walkways, and the paved path that connects the two.  Stay away from Downtown Disney during non-business hours.  It is a construction work site during off hours and they will tell you to leave.  They are completely redoing the area.

Phil, I think Saratoga Springs was where I got lost. Gotta pay better attention to what building is what.

HA!  Yeah, I just tried to be mindful of where the main building was in relation to where I was running, sorting of using that as an internal compass point.  FYI, behind the main building by the golf course is the walkway that connect to Old Key West.  It's about a half mile long.  Go over the little bride, bear right, and that'll take you to OKW.  OKW is smaller and not as confusing to run around as Saratoga Springs.

URD - I had hoped for a redo on yesterday's failed 15 miles, but we did end up getting an appointment for this morning with DS's psychiatrist, so that is taking precedence over running.

Zel, here is a route I ran in September around Old Key West, Dwtwn Disney and Saratoga. 

Thanks. Maybr I will try again today, or bring my phone. I think my Garmin 610 might have a "return to start" feature, but I haven't used it before.

Hopefully makes sense

Gym before work this morning, 1200m swim + 2.5 miles on the treadmill.

Tomorrow I plan my first outdoor run in 6 weeks.
