Vacation wrap-up
Whelp for it being a vacation week I think I did pretty good running-wise. I covered 24 miles and the temps were always 79*+. Even at 6:30am. And often I felt my sweat was alcohol-infused from the margaritas I had enjoyed poolside the night before. But I ran them. And it was fun.
I also did several workouts from PumpsAndIron.com. I had packed my running gear, my jump rope & my 20-lb kettle. And that’s really all I needed to keep fit despite all the vacation calories I was happily consuming.
Had some first-time experiences, like running in two states in one run.
For the record, the Maryland side is much better for running. As soon as you hit Delaware the sidewalk disappears! Welcome to Delaware my butt!
Also my husband found a new love of running outside. He probably did it 4 times, used my garmin watch and had a great time seeing the sights from a runners perspective. Best of all he wants to continue outdoor running once we return home. Juggling his new love with my long-time love won’t be easy since we can’t go together (thanks, small children) but we will figure it out 🙂
We also did some other cool things on vacation – rode a bike built for 5, collected seashells, took old-timey photos and flew kites to name a few. The kids had a blast. My husband and I got to relax. That in itself is priceless.
When we get home I’m excited to throw myself back into Tough Mudder training. I feel refreshed (& slightly plump from all the great food & drink here!) and ready to start kicking butt again.
