Just came back from the best vacation ever! Tyler’s family is much more relaxed on vacation than my family was, so it was an adjustment… and I had to FORCE myself to slow down! We didn’t even have Internet. Even though it was more relaxed than what my family does, we still did a lot of stuff, and kayaking was one of them! We went twice last week, and I got stuck a couple times because the water was so low- AND I almost died getting stuck over a water fall with rocks jutting out at the bottom! Don’t worry; we only had class 1 rapids on the first two miles, and the rest was pretty calm.
Since we were nestled in the mountains in the middle of nowhere, there were plenty of hills to train on. Not that I’m actually training for anything right now, but I can pretend.
I was seriously sore every day that I ran. I did a couple four-mile runs, but on those mountain trails, it felt like twice that! It was so awesome to run on such gorgeous trails.
I did terrible on not eating sugar during our trip, and I’m going to have to pay for it for a couple days. So back to the strict diet from here on in!
How are your summer fitness goals coming along? What do you find the hardest to maintain during the warmer months?

Running is always so much more enjoyable when you’re running through beautiful scenery! My motivation is always highest during the warmer months because the weather is so beautiful and it makes me want to get up early and get my run finished! The winter months are another story though
I completely agree! I love that the sun is up early enough for me to get an early morning run in before work, and I can get it out of the way! The spring pollen is finally gone, and I can breathe again
Ps. I hate fitting in outdoor runs in the winter- it gets dark at 4:30pm!
I hate to admit, but I have slipped from my “new eating habits” ( I refuse to say I’m on a diet!). I’ve been lazy the past few weeks, bu t I intend to get back on track. Glad to hear you had a great vacation.
Well, I’m back to make sure you don’t slip again this week! prepare to be harassed!
