I continued my training while on vacation. I got up at 7am - before the rest of my family - to run 50 minutes before we headed to Sea World for the day. At about 5.5 miles, it was a pretty nice route - watching the early morning traffic build, most cars destined for an Orlando theme park - however, one portion of the run (on International Drive) did not have a sidewalk. I ran on the road, where most drivers were nice and moved over, and they weren't going that fast in the first place. I would have run in the grass, but it was soaking wet and not the greatest terrain - I was slightly concerned that I'd lose my balance and fall into the road.
On Saturday, we were back at my apartment, lounged by the pool and I worked out on the elliptical at my apartment gym for 30 minutes, and cooled off in the pool afterward. However, our whirlwind week caught up to me, as did my Mom's cold...I felt pretty terrible Saturday night, and after saying "Goodbye" and dropping them off at the airport Sunday morning, I went back to bed. I slept for about 18 hours that day, and almost the same on Monday. It was apparently time to recharge the batteries. I wasn't very happy missing the 8 mile run, but my body was telling me pretty severely that I needed sleep.
