Oh my gosh! I almost forgot I am going to Arizona tonight!! I never take road trips too seriously (read: leave everything to the last minute). I guess that’s because Ben and I used to take off on a moments notice on random trips when we were in love (the term I use for when we were first dating) 
We went to Rosarito on whim (hello, Mexico). And our 3rd date was to the Grand Canyon. Look at how young Ben looks without the scruff!
Yosemite to climb Half Dome (it’s like 8 hours away and we left randomly after work one Friday afternoon).
And then there’s that time we drove across the country with everything we owned.
So yeah, a weekend in the next state seems like no biggie 
But since I’m supposed to run a half marathon it is a big deal that I pack everything I need to run. I made a list and hope I fit it all in my overnight suitcase.
I was hungry all morning – maybe those French Toast Cups need something for more staying power? Anyway, I ate a pear while packing…
I still made lunch early – and it was a big one! I made a fake chicken salad with peanut dressing and a turkey sandwich.
Plus half a Larabar for dessert. This was the Smores flavor – not a fan.
The Healthy Living Blogs website is having a contest to send 1 lucky blogger to Camp Blogaway. Before I leave I must give you the top 7 reasons why I should go to Camp Blogaway:
1. Because I’m asking nicely. Publicly.
2. Because I almost spelled “public” as “pubic” and considered leaving it to give you a laugh.
3. I love traveling and this would be another road trip for me!
4. I have been writing RER for close to 3 years now (!) and would love this opportunity.
5. I checked out the list of speakers and know I would learn a lot!
6. I’ll bring snacks for my fellow travelers!
7. If you see me at the conference and take a picture of me looking like I just woke up I’ll still let you post it on your blog (even though I may attempt to get even at some point).
See you in another state!
Best of luck in the 1/2!! and OMG Ben looks like a completely different person without the scruff. Are you sure you are still with the same man? 🙂
Have fun in the half mary! Perhaps some almond butter would give the french toast cups staying power, almond butter can fix anything! Or peanut butter for that matter…..
the AZ RnR sounds like such a fun race! good luck this weekend.
Have a blasty in AZ!
Are you doing the PF Chang Rock N Roll? I almost did that one!
Jessica’s right. Must be a Lunabar. There’s no way I wouldn’t know about a s’mores flavored Larabar. It there’s no way it would suck. 🙂
Good luck on your half!
thats not a larabar…thats a luna bar…(so sad i know that)
I love road trips! Going on one myself this weekend.
Did you actually climb Half Dome??
Im going to Arizona too for the rock and roll half marathon. Maybe we can meet up 🙂
I also havent packed yet! Were leaving tomorrow morning!
Good luck at the race and maybe I’ll see you there 🙂
So sad you didn’t like the Smores Luna Bar. It’s my absolute FAVORITE bar ever!
good luck on the half! You’ll rock it!
I didn’t even realize you were running a half in Az. How fun! I know a few other people running it too.
Hope you win!
I hope you win the contest. Have a nice trip to Arizona!
