Florida Foam Roller for this Runner

My Life· Travel

FacebookTweetPin
29 Apr

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!!!!!

you are the best

Question: Do you wish you were my sister or brother so you could have the best parents too?

Would you foam roll in the airport?

    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!

    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.

    I don’t know about foam rolling, but I have definitely stretched and put compression socks on in the middle of the airport.

    For sure on the foam rolling. I’ve see a lot weirder stuff in airports 🙂

    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.
