Good morning all! Happy Tuesday. Hope your Monday wasn’t too unbearable. Mine was a-okay and probably more than okay because Hubby and I officially booked our trip to Ireland!! Yahooo! We are leaving on August 29th and returning on September 10th. So feel free to send any suggestions my way! So excited. Having a vacation to look forward to just makes everything a little bit better!
What is the best vacation you’ve been on? And where was the last place you went?
Our last vacation was our honeymoon to Hawaii and it was AWESOME!! We went to Maui and Kauai and had such a great time. But that was back in October 2008, so I think we’re due for a nice little trip. Plus, I have family in Ireland that I’d love to meet and Hubby is the quintessential Irishman, with red hair and all! It’s going to be great! Now I just have to get an updated Passport. Not fun.
Other than booking our trip, yesterday was a pretty same-old-same-old day. Breakfast was some boring Kashi Heart to Heart cereal.
Lunch was a salad with a few Rice Chips on the side.
Okay, so it might have been more than a few chips. And then later in the afternoon I had a Chobani yogurt with granola.
After work I did manage to squeeze in a quick recovery run on the treadmill at the gym. I just ran 3 miles in 27:44. A nice and easy pace. But running on the treadmill seems so much harder these days.
When I got home after my quick run I made a quick dinner – a chicken breast grilled on the Foreman with a side salad. Someone had ordered this salad for Hubby for lunch and it had beets in it, which Hubby does not like. So he saved it for me.
I ate about half of the salad and saved the rest (prob for tonight). It was really delicious. Field green lettuce with beets, sliced apple and goat cheese. I drizzled some Newman’s Sesame Ginger Dressing on top.
I’m still so excited about Ireland. It’s a ways away, so I need to chill out. Plus I have a marathon on May 16th that I should be excited (or nervous) about first! And this coming weekend we’re going to a wedding upstate – so much to look forward to!!
What are you looking forward to?
Have a great Tuesday all!
Eat, Read, Run 
Congrats on booking a vacation! I haven’t been on one in sooooo long! I think it was a family trip four years ago to Florida… We keep trying to get another one together, but with no luck!
Ireland!!! HOW AWESOME!!!
Good for you on Ireland. That is one place I really need to get to one day. Good luck on the upcoming marathon.
Happy running,
Rundad
omg ireland will be amazing!!! i studied abroad there my sophomore year. i love beets in salad- so yummy!
I hear Ireland is just fantastic for traveling. Yay for vacations! On my budget, sadly, the closest I get to vacays are long-term couch surfing sessions at my college friends’ apartments. Fun, but I can’t wait to stay in real hotels!
Wow! I’m sure Ireland will be everything you hoped for. Our last vacation….sadly….was our honeymoon to Puerto Vallarte, MX….in 2006. Yes, it’s been 4 years! We are in dire need to get away!
A trip to Ireland sounds wonderful! I’m jealous.
You’re going to have such an awesome time!!!
I’m so excited for you! My little brother went to Ireland for school last year and didn’t want to return home. He fell in love!
I am so overdue for a vacation right now. I haven’t had a day off in a year and I’m teetering on burn-out!
Yay for Ireland! You are going to have soo much fun. I just got back from Kauai with my husband and that was pretty amazing. 🙂
