Seattle Vacation

Wow the end of July and beginning of August just seem to fly by. I got in far fewer runs than I would have liked in July due to the heat. I traded off and did extra work in the pool hoping that it might off set some of the lost road work.

We had a blast in Seattle with Hubby's brother and family. We did all the touristy stuff your suppose to do when in a new city.

I fell in love with the weather and the atmosphere in my first trip to the Pacific Northwest. I could see us living there after Hubby graduates.

The only downfall of our trip was the flight from Cincinnati, Ohio to Seattle. One row back and across the aisle was a extremely chatty woman whom for the entire 4 hour flight did not stop talking ONCE. She was so loud that I and the person in the row in front of her could hear her over our music playing with the sound turned almost all the way up. Never in my time flying have I ever experienced someone doing this on an overnight flight. Most travelers sleep, read, listen to music, they do not expound to the entire plane the benefits of eating kale, and not drinking out of plastic bottles for 4 hours at a volume that can be heard all over the plane.

Aside from loud talking, kale lady most of our flights went well.

Once back in Nashville Hubby and I have resumed running, early mornings at 5am. My next half marathon is just over 30 days away and my cardio seems to be good, my stamina could use a boost. That means conquering the hills around my home for the next 25 days as much as I can seeing as how the first half of the race is up hill.

Till the next time

PS. To the passenger that sat across the aisle and endured the kale lady, my many thanks for helping share in our mutual irritation.
