While I've left Michigan twice for home-away-from-homes back East, I had the wonderful pleasure of flying home to New York for the holiday weekend. I was extremely proud that I was able to limit myself to a carry-on suitcase, which is a big deal for me. Even bigger, I packed with the reality that I would be shlepping that carry-on through the airports, onto the train/subway, and over multiple NYC blocks. That being said, my running clothes still made up a significant percentage of my baggage (luckily I foresaw this issue and left a pair of sneakers at home - phew!).
I've been really happy with the schedule I've set the past few weeks and the routine I've established. That's also something I struggle with, but I feel really good about it, and it came in handy this weekend when I easily could have taken a few extra naps on the couch instead of heading out to run (midnight shopping makes me sleepy!). I had two awesome runs: one at hometown favorite for running (clearly a borrowed picture, although it was basically summer weather on Friday's run!), and the other through the neighborhoods that house some of my favorite houses...a route which afforded me a CELEBRITY RUN-IN! Mike Kitt sped past me on his bike, which made me laugh. The distance he covered in about 30 seconds took me several minutes to tackle. I thought maybe I should consider switching my sport, until I was informed he was still at it two hours later. Oh running, how I always come back to you<3.
