I got up to Rhode Island this afternoon, and we went to look for lunch. Some of the fam went to Walt’s Roast Beef, but I saw a Great Harvest and wanted to try it. I feel like it’s the Body Pump of breads. Awesome, popular in the blogging world, but not easy to come by in NYC.
If I weren’t going from here to Boston and from Boston to Baltimore, I might have picked up a whole lot more, but I just picked up a gift and a Kahuna bar for me.
I went for a California cobb sandwich–turkey, avocado, bacon and a little blue cheese spread (okay, not totally healthy. But totally yummy.) on nine-grain bread with lettuce, tomato and onion.
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 twocameras, 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?
