More Travels
I've been home for just shy of 2 weeks (though it seems to have gone much faster than that), and now I'm about to travel again. Tomorrow I'm headed for Minnesota, where I come from and where my family is, for Christmas. I'm not excited about driving across much of the United States, but I'm excited to visit my family and friends.
I'm packed and ready to go tomorrow morning, after I get off the midnight shift. It seems like I'll be trying to outrun a nasty storm that's slated to hit Yellowstone right about now. Predictions of over 12 inches for the high country! I'm hoping to get an early start and that we drive out of the storm before too long.
In terms of exercise, I didn't run again today. When I was packing my bags for 7 days this afternoon, I packed running clothes with the hope that my foot will be mo' betta' soon. In fact, it is better today. I taped it for a while when I was walking around, and that seemed to support it. I don't think I'll be able to run tomorrow, either, because of the foot. So, in light of not running, I did pull off my 2 hours (actually 1 hr 50 minutes) of spinning on the trainer last night. I did the time trial DVD and then 50 minutes of easy spinning afterwards, as promised. I can't complain, I get some work time to work out if there are no emergencies, and I can fit all my breaks together to work out even longer if it's quiet, as well. That is one of the perks of my job. Tonight I plan to spin on the bike trainer, again, but just for an hour or so easy. I'm debating whether or not to take my bike and trainer to Minnesota with me. Will I be able to run there? Do I need another form of cardio for a week? We'll see. I'm thinking my parents might kill me if I show up with my bike and trainer. Oh well.
I may post here and there in the next week, but I suspect that my parents will keep me busy to the point of fun exhaustion. So, in case I don't post again for a bit, Happy Holidays to all of you! And, thanks for the foot advice, I spent some time Googling your suggestions.
