There's no Vacation from working out!!

For the long Memorial Weekend, I headed to my favorite place....

THE BEACH!!!!

Every summer some of my fellow ADPi's and I grab a house in the OBX (Outer Banks, NC) and spend a weekend/week/few days/etc. just catching up, relaxing, and most importantly BEACHING!!!!

This year we decided to go for the super crowded Memorial Day weekend. I ended up taking off work for 4 days, so I got a SIX DAY WEEKEND!!! WOO-HOOO. I was ONE HAPPY APES.

But the vacation posed a question...can I still sit on the beach with a drink in my hand for days on end and STILL keep up my work out??

I sure CAN!!

Saturday morning I slept in a little while the house went to breakfast, and then I got up for a run. As I ran, the house drove past on their way home. I ran starting at our place (I judged my distance by the mile post signs) and did a loop of about 3 miles (probably closer to 3.1). I didn't run on the beach itself, as it just doesn't work for me. So instead I ran in the shoulder on the main road off of the beach.

Sunday I was a little hungover (thanks to our fav bar - the Brewing Station) and didn't think I could handle a run. So instead I took cupcake (my bike, for you new readers) for a ride to see some friends. The Gonzalez (Guillermo, Oscar) family was staying a few miles down the road and I wanted to stop by and visit them all. So I rode down to see them, visited for a few, then biked back. It was a little shy of 10 miles, but it was still a nice little ride. Plus I got to see some of my favorite guys from college!!!

That was my only working out during the vacation....unless you count dancing the night away.

So just because you're on vacation doesn't mean you have to give up working out!!! (wow - could that sound ANY more lame?!?!).

- apes -
