A long recent history

Oh the days since I've last posted have been long and lacking in as much running as I would like. About a week and a half ago I had three friends come into town as we were leaving for Orlando the next day. Since, I had a 16 mile long run planned, I chose not to party it up with them that night, but I did go get Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at midnight... which kept me awake until about 4:30 am. I wanted to get the audio book so that the 3 hours spent for my long run could've been filled with the book, but alas Walmart carried no copies of the audio book that evening and I spent that morning running without the book to accompany me. After finishing my run I returned to my apartment and roused my friends to go eat lunch... I of course chose a buffet style pizza place for lunch and then we set off for the airport and Orlando.

While in Orlando I took in the sites and I swam and I spent most of my time at a convention for Service Organizations for college band programs (Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma). I only managed about a 2.5 mile run while I was there, but I probably got in about 10 miles walking. I got my long run in on Sunday after returning from about 10 hours of traveling.

The worst part about traveling for me is the difficulty involved in trying to work running into your vacation. In the future I think I will try to make my vacation work in to my running.
