Well I know I’ve been gone for awhile. After finals, the Christmas holiday, and a lot of time to catch up on sleep, I’m back–just in time to tell you where I’m off to!
Any guesses?
Need a hint? OK, here you go…

No, I’m not going to a some castle in Europe (although that would be cool too). I’m off to Orlando, FL! The boyfriend and I decided it was time to get some R&R, and of course, the Harry Potter nerd in me has to see The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios!
Right now, I’m blogging from the air (thanks Google Chrome and Delta for the free Wi-Fi!). After a rather stressful morning (the airport was a total madhouse, and we rushed to make our flight even though we arrived at the airport a good hour and a half before our departure time), I’m finally able to breathe a little bit and enjoy the idea that I’M GOING ON VACATION!! It’s my first vacation with the boyfriend (after over 6 years), and it will be good to get out of the cold, icky weather that MN currently has.
Running upDate
Since this is a healthy living blog, you’ve probably been wondering whether I’ve been keeping up with my workouts. To be completely honest, there were a couple weeks there where I only got one workout in, if any. Though now, I finally feel like my hamstrings and knees are ready for me to pick up running again (which is really my favorite way to sweat), so I’ve devised a “get back on track” workout plan to help me regain my endurance and speed.
I used Runner’s World SmartCoach to come up with the running portion of the plan, and then added the strength training (ST) and cross-training (XT) workouts to help me be more of a well-rounded runner. Last year, I really slacked off on my ST and XT workouts, which, I think, made me more prone to injury. Hopefully, this plan will get me back on my way to completing a few races this year!
So far, I’ve completed all of my planned workouts, which means that I’ve earned a well-deserved rest day today. That just means I have some extra time to lay by the hotel pool and work on soaking up some Vitamin D 
Almost forgot–Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!! Be sure to make the last day of 2010 memorable
What do you have planned for your New Year’s Eve? Will you be out celebrating? In the past, I’ve been the type to cozy up on the couch and watch the ball drop on TV. But who knows what we’ll be up to tonight–maybe we’ll hit the town! Anyone have any suggestions of spots to go in Orlando??
