Hello from the air! I am currently 30,000 feet up in the air on my way to Philadelphia for the Healthy Living Summit.
I had to be at the airport at 5:45am so the sane thing to do was skip my run.
But, this wouldn’t be “Run Eat Repeat” if I didn’t run too much and eat too much as well 
I woke up at 4am for 3.5 easy miles. But, it was so dark I went a lot faster than I intended! I’m scared of the dark.
Last night I packed up my bag of food so all I had to do is grab it this morning. I have a wrap, PB&J, apple and bell pepper strips for later.
And I ate my Overnight Oats in a Jar on the way to the airport. Is it me or is the drive to the airport tense? I’m always on edge that I’m late or going to miss my flight.
Today my worries weren’t completely unfounded since the security line at the Orange County Airport (John Wayne) were crazy long! Normally it’s the best, easiest place to fly from. I don’t know what was the deal today.
But, I’m on my first flight! I had a layover before I make it all the way.
And I just got the newest Runner’s World in the mail for my reading pleasure.
Hallmark sent me this picture I took at Blogher. You were supposed to fill in the blank “X is a special occasion”.
I said “Running” because I thought “Eating” would be too weird. But it’s a tie.
Now it’s your turn to fill in the blank…
_________________ is a special occasion.
I agree with another commenter Sleeping!
I wake up early [sometimes at 4AM] but I never have enough energy to go for a run- I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do! Motivation at its finest 😉
“The first day of school” is a special occasion! School starts in 3 weeks and I’m no longer the student, I’m the teacher [gah, nervous]!
Haha, I’m pretty sure I would sprint a run in the dark too. No lie, when I’m coming out of our dark basement, I gun it up those stares like crazy and take a quick look back when I’m up. Yes, I’m a wimpy 5-year-old girl on the inside.
Running pain-free is a special occasion.
Sleeping thru the night. With a toddler and baby on way I’m either peeing or putting someone back to sleep 4-5 times a night.
I fly out of John Wayne airport a lot and I don’t know what has been going on lately, but the lines have been super long! Have fun on your trip! Love your blog!!
I agree with Kathryn! Friday night is a special occasion!
Side note:
I know I told you before I love your blog, but really, I LOVE IT. Haha! I was running about 4 times a week, and then had to have knee surgery. I am on month 3 and I hope in about another month my knee is strong enough to run again! Your blog just inspires me so much! I tell my boyfriend all the time, “oh I read this on her blog.” Yup, total blog stalker! lol 🙂 Have a fun weekend!
“Happy Hour” is a special occasion… even though it happens pretty frequently these days!
I run a lot, lot faster in the dark, too. Feeling like somebody’s behind you puts wings on your shoes!
WHEN ARE YOU GETTING HERE?!
Friday night is a special occasion! No work on Saturday 😀
I’m very impressed that you got up at 4am to run!
TV is a special occasion! Who has time these days with all the eating, running, blogging, and reading 😉
Vacation is a special occassion. Unfortunately, mine is over 🙁
You’re so fast…3.5 miles in 30 minutes!
Also I would go through OC than LAX any day…I have taken wayyy too many flights through there and everytime something went wrong 🙁
sugar is a special occasion.
Friday night is a special occasion… Weekend time, whoop whoop! Hope you have a blast at HLS.
Friday is a special occasion!
I’ve been running in the dark for the last few months and it scares me too. I make sure I look hot though by wearing a headlamp and reflective running vest. I think it makes me run faster too.
Yoga! I treat every session as a moment to start anew. Every 90 minute session is a blessing to my karma. (Yes, that all sounds hokey, but I mean it all hardcore.)
shopping 🙂 my husband would beg to differ and say sex
“Watching an entire episode of MY choosing from the DVR without a sarcastic comment from Dear Hubby” is an occasion. Might be a little long for the t-shirt.
I agree with Katelyn– HLS IS a special occasion. However, I’m not there 🙁
SO I’m going to go ahead and say “the weekend” is a special occasion 😉
“Sleeping” is a special occasion. Never enough sleep around here.
Giiiiirllll HLS is a special occasion!!! Ahahah seee you soon! I’m like 9 miles away according to Mr. Australian GPS, so I am jittery excited to see errbody! I woke up early today to workout too — the drive was so scary in the dark with no one around! Have a safe flight girliepants <3
