Running away
This morning was my first long morning run in a long, long time. Marathon training has begun and it starts with time, not mileage. Specifically 1 hour, 3 times a week. That's the magic numbers. I think we do this for a month, then we start to crank up the Sunday runs and slowly bring up the weekday runs.
I hit the snooze one too many times this morning and didn't get up in time to get the full hour in. I decided I'd go out, see how I felt and run as long as I felt like. The first 1/2 hour was agony, not sure why, it's usually not this bad, but once I passed the 1/2 hour mark I could have run forever. The legs felt awesome, the breathing was good, HR was fantastic it was an awesome run. But at 50 minutes I realized I had to go home, it was getting late. I did find a nice 10 minute loop right around my neighborhood and that's nice.

Hubby and I need a vacation. There is no doubt at all about that. We were going to take a big vacation to Alaska for probably 2-3 weeks, but now that Hubby is changing jobs that's not going to work out. So we are looking for a shorter vacation to take. We are considering Vegas. It's super cheap to travel to Vegas from here and there are lots of things I want to see in Arizona and Utah. But just looking at the this it is turning into a huge vacation too. What started out as a longish weekend, 5-6 days, is now up to 10 days and growing. Also, we don't gamble so we would be going to Vegas because it's cheap to fly into and maybe to see a show or two. So I'm not sure that's going to work out.
Then last night I was looking at Branson. I know, it sounds crazy but really, have you looked at the place?? There are a ton of shows, all kinds of entertainers and cool things to see. They even have a pet show - how cool??
There's also a bunch of museums, and attractions like golf, caves, some really interesting sounding stuff. Package vacations are really cheap, you can get 4 days/3 nights plus a bunch of tickets for $454 per couple. That plus plane fare plus some spending cash is not a very expensive vacation at all. It really seems like it might be the way to go. The only time I was ever in Missouri was during basic training. Maybe I should visit Branson to wipe out the horrible Army memories from my mind. Has anyone ever been to Branson?? If so please share.

Never heard of Branson, sorry!
But many people around here go to Laughlin, so check that out too!
