Began the run with wool hat and gloves. Over the course of three hours, it turned into a Chamber of Commerce kind of day. Perfect for yesterday, December 10, 2014.

Eight mile jog plus three mile walk.

A day like yesterday is the result of six years of planning as a small business owner and 30 years as a Walt Disney World Cast Member.

And it all began when a young couple living on the Washington-Idaho boarder decided to risk everything and move to Orlando with no jobs.

They both began making entry-level wages, got lucky in a low-income mortgage finance lottery, bought a starter home 30 miles from Disney, and managed with one car and one bicycle.
