Road trip?

It's no secret that I want to travel. For work, for fun, any reason to go somewhere new. And it's been a hot minute since I've been anywhere. And now E is telling me she wants to take a trip. To Europe.

Now, obviously, I am interested. But maybe we should start smaller. I still haven't been to New Orleans. Or San Antonio. So maybe I will start off with a road trip. And try to convince her to go with me.



If I am going to take a road trip, there are some tips to keep in mind.
  • Start early or leave late - Besides avoiding major traffic, it can also be kind of exciting to get on the road before the sun rises or after it sets. 
  • Fill her up - Make sure the gas tank is full before you set out on the trip.
  • Pack snacks - Fill a cooler with veggie sticks, hard-boiled eggs, peanut butter, crackers, and other healthy snacks. Packing snacks is the best way to maintain your bikini body when there’s nothing but fast food for miles.
  •  Plan for spontaneous stops - Be sure to allow enough time for stopping at that cute little roadside diner or kitschy tourist attraction. Take the scenic route and embrace unexpected detours. Road trips are as much about the excursion as they are about the destination.
  •  Don't forget your SPF and sunnies - If you are road tripping in the sunny months, keep in mind that it is possible to get sunburnt through the car windows.

Weekend recap

I actually went out! Friday afternoon G text me did I want to go to dinner. Obviously the answer was yes. I have a great time with him and we can talk track for hours. I'm always early when I go to dinner with G bc I don't want to go home first, but we don't usually meet until 6:30pm. So I was early again Friday and sat in my car, with the heat on, reading. When he got there, I got out and we started to walk in only to see a sign that said closed for private party! You have got to be kidding me. I feel like their facebook should have mentioned that. So we walked across the street to some bbq place. BBQ in Texas is different. And, I think, not in a good way. I've been a few times and I don't think I need to go again. But it was a small place and we were taking up a needed table, so a while after we were done we headed down the road to Starbucks. And were there until they closed. Saturday morning I had an appointment at a local salon for a facial (sorry mom). For ...

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f...

Here's what: March 21

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... The Girls Night In that Deb and I are planning for when I'm home. We're slightly obsessed and have a whole private pinterest board to prove it. Now if only our family would actually respond to invite we sent out... I know I've included this race in the past, but now that it is this weekend I am starting to freak out. My "training" since running Austin has been close to nonexistent, much like K's, and E ended up with a minor stress fracture (!) but is going to run it anyway. Hopefully A will keep as all going. And the twins. Our birthday is in 13 days and I will be home for it! There are  plans to be made.
