Last Day of Vacation

Last Workout
Last days of vacation can be so depressing to me. We did make the best of it though. I ran 25 minutes then did Cathe's Travel Fit. When you don't have access to weights, this workout is pretty good. It uses resistance bands with cardio blasts thrown in. It's made for those traveling so you don't need much space at all. While it's not one I'd do all the time, it's perfect for vacations or work travel (hence the name of course). I must say that I absolutely cannot wait to get home and get in a weight workout!

Last Day as Beach Bums
After the workouts, we hit the beach for our final day of beach bumming it. We had our toes in the sand for the majority of the day. There was still one place we had not been to yet. It's a place we try to always visit when here. It's just across the street from our condo - The Jelly Fish Bar. They serve sushi and have an extensive martini list. I'm not typically a martini drinker mind you, but some of these concoctions are pretty good. And, I am on vacation after all ;-)

We started with wakame and edamame. I had a Comb Jelly Martini and Jason had a Hendrik's Gin. I ordered some vegetable rolls and Jason got volcano rolls and something else that I can't attempt to spell and am too lazy to look up. Again...on vacation :-) We ordered one more round of drinks: Blue Jelly Martini and Perdido Paradise then called it quits. We wanted to spend the rest of the evening on our balcony. Here are a few pictures from the Jelly Fish Bar including the view.

Last Day is Pizza Friday (of course)
Since it is Pizza Friday, we will manage to make pizzas, make-shift pizzas anyway. I have some Flatout wraps left along with a smidge of spaghetti sauce, some veggies (zucchini, squash, eggplant, spinach), and cheese. So, we had Flatout Pizzas. Not quite the same as homemade wheat crust, but it'll do in a pinch on Pizza Friday. Sorry for the lack of pictures of the pizza, but I am posting early and enjoying the rest of the time left on the balcony. I know you all will completely understand.

Tomorrow I will be MA. We will head out early and it'll be a long day. I promise to be back on Sunday though and will start trying my best to catch up with all of your blog posts (you guys post a lot by the way LOL). Love everyone!

    Agree with Jo - super-impressed that you kept up your blogging while away AND that you didn't take a single rest day - you are definitely crazier than me, that's for sure. ;)

I Run to Feel Alive

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

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.
