Vacation and running coexist

After multiple hours in the car, two straight days of walking every inch of Hershey Park and eating “park food,” to say I am in need of a run is an understatement!

I had planned on trying to run at least one morning while we were in Hershey, but sharing a room with Thing 1 and Thing 2 hyped up on all things chocolate made early morning runs on the treadmill not a happening thing!

So on to plan B…..

We’re now in the beautiful finger lakes of Upstate NY. I got up and out nice and early this morning and ran the rolling hills along the lake. There may not be a prettier sight than watching the sun come up over the water! There was a nice breeze coming off the water and aside from the occasional woodland creature, I had the road all to myself! A nice contrast to the last couple of days! And a nice way to say hello to September!

  1. I am a newbie to your blog Michelle and I really enjoy it! I just had to comment that I just returned on Monday from a 2 week vacation visiting my family in another state. I had every intention of running. When it came down to it though, I did not run once. Not once. Instead my mom and I went for daily walks together and it was wonderful. We talked, laughed, walked as the sun was rising – sometimes in silence. I wouldn’t have traded one walk for 100 great runs. Sometimes it’s okay to put running aside for awhile. I came back from vacation refreshed and ready to run again!

    Sounds like you had a wonderful experience with your mom walking – I wouldn’t trade that either!
