Hello! I feel so responsible because I bought a foam roller and a yoga mat to keep in Florida. My knee has been achy and that is because my IT band is super tight so I really need to roll it out.
Unfortunately, I only got to use it once by the time I got here because I left last night.
I’m leaving this roller in FL but a few years back when I hurt my IT band I traveled with a foam roller and used it in the airport. What a weirdo! I know.
Time to drive to Tampa…
I totally scored an exit row that was bigger than my condo! Boom! And I made a little friend too. It was a nice lil part of the trip.
And I had a quick layover in Phoenix and found a salad bar at the airport <- Yeah!! Love it, I was really excited about that. They charge per ounce like Yogurtland. And I drowned it in Tapatio because that’s how I roll.
And I have some bad news…
You may have spent your life thinking you have great parents and they are probably really awesome…
but I officially have the BEST mom and dad in the world.
They picked me up from the airport and drove separately so they could bring my car and my cat and I wouldn’t have to drive to their place and all the way home. My peeps are the BEST!!!!!

Following two years of running I at last got a froth roller for Christmas this year following two years of running consistently and I don’t have the foggiest idea how I’ve endure the previous two years without it!

Looks like a really cheap and efficient way to have a really good work out result. I had no idea that such a simple aide existed. I am going to try to find out where to buy one. I have actually stopped my gym membership in favour of using simple devices like this, and am having a great outcome.
Have a great 2017

After two years of running I finally got a foam roller for Christmas this year after two years of running regularly and I don’t know how I’ve survived the past two years without it!

So lucky to be you to have the BEST parents in the world!

Yoga mats and rollers are two of my least favourite things about running. I think only ice baths beat them to my number one hate… Unfortunately they are all part of the process…

I love that you have jalapenos on your salad and you still added Tapatio. I’ve been told on more than one occasion that I’m crazy for doing that. I knew I couldn’t be the only one.

I wouldn’t foam roll at the airport, although it’s probably better than those uncomfortable chairs!
Pretty amazing parents…you should keep them.
Three cheers for more Florida trips! 🙂

So.glad.your.site.is.back.up!!! I was having major withdrawal symptoms!
No, I would not foam roll in the airport. I would not foam roll here or there, I would not foam roll anywhere. LOL!
I bet Vegas was super happy to see you!

I wish I was your brother because then I’d get your parents aaaaand I could change genders just to see what it’s like. But then I’d want to undo it because I like being a girl. Ummm… oh yeah…. yes I would foam roll in airports unless foam roll is really code for something else and then I wouldn’t. But maybe I would anyway and just use lots of hand sanitizer.

My foam roller is chilling under my kitchen table. I think it’s hiding from me instead of the other way around.

Mine is staring at me making me feel guilty…
Danielle says
i don’t mean to be nosey, but does that mean you’ll be making more florida trips in the future? i like seeing you two together, so sue me 🙂
Losing Lindy says
me too Danielle!
Shannon in Tustin says
Me three! 😀
runeatrepeat says
Yes, that’s the plan for now at least 🙂
Cheri @ Overactive Blogger says
I need to foam roll now. My knee is killing me!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
I don’t know about foam rolling, but I have definitely stretched and put compression socks on in the middle of the airport.
Kelly M says
For sure on the foam rolling. I’ve see a lot weirder stuff in airports 🙂
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I would totally foam roll in an airport!
My dad is cool. He would drop me off or pick me up just about anytime and anywhere.
