Vacation was awesome and much needed. Husband and I needed to get away and recharge. Erie is one of our favorite retreats and we had a blast. Visited our favorite wineries and discovered some more. Lots and lots of activity on Presque Isle–we ran, walked, biked, swam, jogged on the beach. Seriously, I rode a bike for the first time since I was a teenager, and while running is still my favorite thing, now I want a bike to tool around on some for active recovery. It was a great trip. Didn’t quite maintain, ended up going up a pound this week, which ultimately I think is largely dehydration–lots of wine, coffee, and Diet Coke, not nearly enough water. But no matter, it is what it is, time to get back to work.
Giving my body a bit of a respite, but looking forward to getting out there again to run this weekend and seeing what happens in the next week. Trying to ramp up the mileage for my races, ahead of schedule no less. I have races on the schedule (which has been updated) but I’m trying to decide about a few more and re-work my training some–what I had originally planned is too tame for where I’m at and what I’m striving for.
Couple more days of fun and relaxation before I head back to work–family all birthday dinner on Sunday and we’re going to see Megan Mullaly and Nick Offerman (swoon) on Sunday night as well. I’ll be super tired on Monday morning, but c’mon…NICK OFFERMAN. Totally worth it.
Happy weekend!
