Oof

I got up this morning for vacation run #2. Oof. Apparently 3 martinis the night before isn't the best pre-run nutrition. Add that to some outrageous humidity and the vapors from the hotel repaving the parking lot -- not pleasant. I did it though. 4.81 miles. Up hills, down hills, leaping over roadkill, I think I covered it all this morning. I wasn't very happy when I was doing it but I'm glad I got it done. Official training called for 3 today and the thought occurred to me to just stop at 3 and be done with it but I thought that would be going too easy on myself. I'm glad I pushed a little harder. I'm eating like I'm on vacation so for that fact alone I should go the extra mile. But that's what vacations are for.

Tomorrow would normally be a strength day but that was my deal with myself, I'd take off a few days this week on vacation as long as I got my runs in. The fitness center is tiny anyway. No free weights and I did a set of all the upper body exercises on their universal machine the first day and I didn't like it. I enjoy free weights so much better.

Today we're going to the candle factory and a few other places. I'm reading "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and I must be the only person in the world who doesn't think it's the greatest book. I'm not that far into it but it's just not grabbing me. I hope it picks up because at this point I'm just reading it because everyone else is.
