Why should Ali, Becky and Lauren have all the on-the-run fun?
Tomorrow and Thursday, I’ll be in Rhode Island for family stuff. (Good family stuff! I’m not sure yet if I can say why, but I’ll find out tomorrow.)
Thursday evening/Friday morning in Boston for Tina’s book signing!
Friday – Sunday for Fitbloggin’:
I’m just packing for three different cities with a difference of 35 degrees. No big deal.
Lie. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO PACK. (That’s why I’m blogging! I apparently have quite a little history of blogging when I should be packing.)
I know I need to bring Tina’s book for her to sign (!), sneakers, running clothes, Garmin, my laptop and two cameras, but I have no idea what else to pack just yet.
I also had no idea what to eat for lunch. I didn’t even attempt to go grocery shopping on Sunday, since I knew I’d only be around for two days this week. Dori works across the street from me, so I gchatted her to ask where she thought I should go near our offices that wasn’t Pump. She suggested a bunch of places in the concourse under our buildings, and I finally went with Cafe Metro. I had half a turkey hummus sandwich on multigrain bread and a small soup with Italian sausage.
I forgot a snack at work today, so I was ravenous when I got home. I made a little plate of pizza nachos–multi-grain flaxseed tortilla chips with marinara sauce and feta cheese.
I warmed up Sunday’s pizza for dinner–in the oven! I’ve never had the patience to do that before tonight, and I really have no idea where the patience came from tonight.
I didn’t work out today because I’m still under the weather and didn’t want to push myself. This also means I skipped the NYRR Wall Street 3M, one of my fave races 🙁 But Ashley ran it and got an awesome PR! Go read her recap! I’m going to try to be easy on myself mentally about working out this week because I’m a little sick and traveling, but my rough plan for the rest of the week:
- Wednesday: either nothing, a walk, some elliptical in the hotel gym, or a DVD. Giving myself lots of choices here.
- Thursday: 3-4 mile run
- Friday: some sort of exercise at the conference
- Saturday: 8-mile run
I guess I should go pack now…
Do you exercise when you’re away or is it a welcome break from working out?
See you soon!!! xoxoxo
@Lizzy: Yay! Can’t wait to see you!
Aww thanks for the shoutout! I normally use one if my rest days during vacation but workout the rest of the days. Remember from Vegas, working out can be lifting drinks, dancing, and walking. 😉
I feel your pain at having to pack for three different forecasts.
As far as working out while on vacation, it depends how long I am going for. If its a short trip (less than 3 days) then I totally take some time off. Longer than that and I start getting antsy…
Mmm that pizza looks good! You do have a variety of weather for your trip. Hope you have fun on the run thought!
Welcome to on-the-run! The more, the merrier. I hope New England shapes up and gives you more than just rain during your stay. See you on Thursday at Tina’s signing!
@Becky: Yay! Excited to see you!
Can’t wait to see you Friiiiiiiiday. I’m struggling with what to pack and its the same weather as I’m in now and only 45 minutes away, so I can imagine your pain! ha!
