Fun Facts Friday - Traveling

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

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...

Taco Thursday

Rest for the Weary  Today I have some DOMS going on from yesterday's biceps/triceps/shoulder workout. I only briefly thought about getting up for an early run, but our lows were going to be 79/80 degrees, and the humidity is extreme - makes the heat so much worse. So I didn't even bother with a run or pretending to think about a run. I had really wanted to do back and chest today, but my arms are too sore and the workout would have suffered as a result. Believe it or not, I do know my limits. So today was a rest day. I really wish that I could have mustered the energy for a cardio only day though because this means I'll have to force my rear out of bed tomorrow morning in order to get the workout done. The dogs are getting groomed (very much overdue) in the morning so Jason will take them in, but I will have to pick them up after work. Sometimes I think morning workouts are worse when I know they are a must. Hmmm, need to refocus how I think about them. Tomorrow I wil...
