All Packed and Ready to Go…Almost
When we get up at 2:30 in the morning, and I pack the rest of the little odds and ends, then we’ll be ready to go to Hungary for 9 weeks to visit my in-laws. Flight leaves at 8am, and we’ll stop in New York and then London before the final leg to Budapest. I went running this morning about 7 miles (didn’t take the Garmin), and just tried to keep it slow based on paying attention to my breathing. Luckily I was able to run strong, as the last couple runs have been difficult. I think I ate too soon before the last long run last weekend.
Not having run a full 11 miles by this point only two weeks before the trail half marathon on June 25 makes me a little nervous. I will run about 9 this coming weekend in Hungary. Don’t want to overdo it though, as I want to rest a lot before the race.
Phew. What a crazy last two weeks—heck, year—this has been. A much-needed unplug from our life here is going to be so fun. My mother-in-law is a wonderful cook, and I look forward to spending time in the kitchen with her, but not having to be in charge of planning out all my meals, for a change!
That’s about all my sleepy brain can manage right now. Hungary, here we come!
