Time to Travel Again?

Happy Tuesday! This morning was another early one as I had to be at JFK bright and early for a flight to Miami! I can’t believe it’s already time for me to travel again! This month I’ll fly Delta at least 6 times!

  • New York to Miami
  • Miami to New York
  • New York to Savannah
  • Savannah to Atlanta
  • Atlanta to Cozumel
  • Cozumel to New York

Having enjoyed a travel hiatus during late October and early November, it felt very weird to be back in the airport only 48 hours after our Sunday flight back from Savannah!

There was very little traffic this morning which meant I arrived and made it through security in time to grab a delicious breakfast from my favorite JFK Starbucks right in the middle of the Delta terminal.

I grabbed a large banana, venti unsweetened Iced Green Tea, perfect oatmeal, and a Chobani yogurt to enjoy later. You can tell from my overflowing bag that I’m heading down on a work trip. I always debate which folders to bring but worry about not having something I need so end up packing everything! Needless to say, I think I’ll be leaving half of these in my hotel room so my shoulder doesn’t die during our store visits!

I enjoyed breakfast as soon as I sat down in my seat with a side of US Weekly.

My flight feels like a fraternity party as there is a group of 75 students heading down to the Art Basel show in Miami and they are hopping from one row to another catching up with their friends.

I doubt that my next post will be any earlier than this evening as we have a jam packed schedule starting as soon as we land in Miami.

Until then, feel free to enjoy my previous Miami adventures, which took place this Summer!

Greeting the Work Week

Welcome back from the Thanksgiving holidays! Hopefully you had a smooth transition into the work week today.

After a productive afternoon yesterday, I had this happy greeting as I left the apartment to greet the work week.

020 (640x478) While Bo worked yesterday I made some pretty amazing headway on my to do list by unpacking Christmas decorations, writing thank you notes, and folding laundry.

016 (640x478)017 (640x478)We ordered a simple sushi dinner in and fell asleep at 9pm!

This morning, I kicked off the week with a short 4 mile run on the treadmill which included a mile of pickups. My goal this week is to stick with my training plan even though I’ll be in Miami Tuesday through Friday night for business! After three straight days of running, my calves were screaming when I finished my run. I spent 10 minutes foam rolling and doing my hip stretches, as prescribed by my PT.

Breakfast was simple and delicious, enjoyed from the comfort of home while I worked.  004 (640x478) (2) The combination of a small banana, bagel thin, and eggs kept me full until 1pm when I finally ate lunch in the office. After working from home this morning, I had to head uptown to the office to finish preparing for our Miami trip.

I’m still craving lots of fruits and vegetables after a few to many meat filled meals. Lunch did a great job answering that craving via an extra large salad complete with lettuce, tomato, feta, capers, green beans, onions, and Marzetti Simply Dressed dressing.

005 (640x478) (2) I capped off my day with an out of the ordinary second workout! My personal trainer, Lauren, was able to fit me into her Monday schedule which was perfect since I’m traveling Tuesday and Thursday, our normal days together. This week my workout plan/schedule is as follows:

Monday: Four mile run with pickups + strength training with personal trainer

Tuesday: rest day

Wednesday: four miles at goal pace

Thursday: cross train

Friday: cross train

Saturday: 6 mile run + strength training with personal trainer

Sunday: 3 mile recovery run

I may end up changing my schedule around a bit but I’m going to start with this and evaluate the schedule after I see the hotel’s location in Miami and the state of the hotel gym.

I hope you all have a great week and are recovering from the glory of a long weekend of lots of food, family, and laughter!
