Fun Facts Friday - Traveling

Image
By
Since I'm currently traveling, I thought a travel theme was appropriate for Fun Facts Friday. Brilliant idea right ;-)

I do enjoy traveling, but don't get to do so nearly as much as I'd really like. Somehow money and lack of time off seem to get in the way. Don't you just hate that?


  • I hate to fly, but I'll suck it up and even flew in a 4-seater piloted by a friend
Me on a 4-seater
  • I almost always over-pack, exception is the beach
  • I must hit the beach at least once a year
Perdido Key, FL

  • I hope to go to Italy one day
  • This is my first time to California
  • I've been on 2 cruises and I do get seasick by the way
  • Wine country is also on my list of places to visit
  • I have learned to try to go with the flow rather than over-plan
  • I do still try to stay active when I travel 
  • We always try to go to local restaurants vs chains
Karyn's Cooked in Chicago
  •  I love Seattle and Chicago, and Philly was pretty enjoyable as well I must add
Seattle
  • I've not been to many big cities other than those listed above (and Dallas, Atlanta, Houston)
  • I have a list of cities I want to see for fun and to meet blogger friends like Austin and Atlanta 

What are some of your favorite cities to visit or maybe some on your travel bucket list? Do you try to plan out your vacation activities or do you just wing it when you get there?

I Run to Feel Alive

By
Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th

Vacation Day 2 - Running, Reading, Relaxing

By
Running This morning I woke up a bit before 7 am. Of course, we had gone to sleep by 9....on vacation no less. I had thought I might try for an outdoor run, but the temps were already a humid 83 degrees by 8 am. So, I took my run to the treadmill. I had the Food Network to keep me occupied for a pretty decent 5 mile run. Running and watching tv isn't so bad ;-) I did 3 miles, then 4 1:00 athletic intervals then finished up another mile to round it out to and even 5. After stretching and rolling (yep, brought my TriggerPoint kit ), we packed up the cooler with lunch and headed down to the beach. Not a bad way to start the day if you ask me. Beach Time & Stair Cardio We set up our little umbrella camp and proceeded to just relax. I was excited to start one of the books I brought along with me: Alice Sebold's The Almost Moon . I've read her memoir, Lucky , and her first work of fiction, The Lovely Bones . . We were out for a few hours before taking a break.
