Arms Inside The Vehicle

  This pic popped up on my Facebook memories a few days ago. In many ways, it doesn't seem like 16 years has passed by. In other ways, it has been a lifetime ago! In October of 2010, I worked for a company that had a joint venture partner in China that I went to visit. We still lived in Kansas and our daughters were at the prime age for Disney parks and we had been to Disney World in Orlando a few times, but none of the other locations. My trip to China was about 10 days and I loved seeing such a different culture, eating many of the local foods and seeing so many different sights! On the flip side, 10 days was the longest that I had ever been away from my wife and kids (and probably still is). When I wasn't working, there weren't a lot of people who spoke my language. Free and/or inexpensive communication methods were not as plentiful as they are today. The last couple of days of my China trip also coincided with a family vacation to Disney World. Since I was flyin...

  I didn't want to run today.  There are two things that worry me more than my current training level. All this and more in today's  Accountability Video #4

  All right, this is something new for me. I’ve never really recorded myself or put this kind of stuff out there, but I'm doing things a bit differently this time around. If you've been following along with the ArmsInsideTheVehicle family, you probably know a couple of things about me. First, I absolutely love runDisney events. Second, for the past few years, I’ve been notorious for not training nearly enough. Usually, I don't have a very good excuse for winging it—I just do. But this year? I actually have a reason. I’ve been sidelined with a stress fracture since July 17th. That’s months of zero running, a lot of resting, a little bit of Peloton (It's just not my jam) and plenty of itching to get back out on the pavement. I only just started running again—just little, short runs—about a week and a half ago . I'm trying to get my feel back and praying that everything is officially healed up. Here is the problem: I have exactly two months before the Walt Disney Worl...

  Sunsets and Seafood: A Night at Salt Water Cowboys in St. Augustine If you are looking for the ultimate hidden gem that captures the old-school, rustic spirit of Northeast Florida, look no further than Salt Water Cowboys . Tucked away along the salt marshes of the Anastasia Island backwater, this iconic St. Augustine staple offers a dining experience centered around incredible coastal views and classic Southern comfort. The Atmosphere Perched directly over the marsh on stilts, the restaurant feels like a step back in time. With its weathered wood, open decks, and a canopy of ancient live oaks framing the water, it is the perfect spot to unwind. A View You Can't Forget The real magic happens right as the sun goes down. Watching the vibrant orange and pink sunset bleed across the expansive marsh grass while the tidal creeks reflect the fading light is worth the trip alone. Grab a seat on the deck, feel the coastal breeze, and watch the local wildlife wake up as the day ends. On the...
