I’ve taken a couple of days off and I don’t know about you, when my routine changes, it’s hard to get out there and exercise. And we’re not even going to talk about diet. When you are surrounded by new food in a new place — well, that’s a challenge in its own self.
Yesterday, my oldest two sons and I borrowed a kayak. For an hour we paddled around, exploring and seeing what we could find. I took one out for thirty minutes and the other one for the other half hour. While I love my boys, they aren’t very energetic when it comes to paddling a kayak. So I got a monster workout. We spent the rest of the morning in the pool (that’s some exercise) and then that evening, all five us went for a long bike ride (my five-year-old rode in a cart.)
This morning my oldest son and I went out for a three-mile run. We went a way that I had never gone before, so it was as much about exploring as it was about running. Tomorrow, I will run solo for a 10 mile run. (if the weather allows.)
I had a salad for dinner last night — hopefully it will make up for the shrimp po’ boy I had for lunch.
You have to live a little. Even when you take a day off.
I hear you. Running while out of town is a pain. Fortunately, I’m in New Orleans and running the Riverwalk and French Quarter rocks!
Enjoy and ok to splurge some not every meal but cut back on others when you know there is something you really want to enjoy.
