Happy Monday!
Did you get back to school or work today? Darn real world, cramping our vacation.
Okay. That’s not true for me – I am going on vacation tonight!
I bought a Groupon to go to China months and months ago and it’s finally time! It was so long ago I kinda forgot about the trip so it’s weird that it’s suddenly happening. I think I mentioned it when I bought the tickets, but it’s been so long I don’t even remember where or why or how I decided to do it. Ha!
Since I knew I’d be gone for a while I made sure not to go overboard with grocery shopping this week and just bought enough to last until today. So, lunch was the usual salad beast…
But, dinner might be a box of triscuits and some vodka. Hey, I’ve done it before and I’m still alive.
Phoenix Marathon Discount Code
I don’t have my whole race calendar planned out yet – but I have added one race to the list = Phoenix Marathon March 1st. I’m super excited about this race because I love running in Arizona but I’ve never run this race so it’ll be kinda new to me too!
The race organizers for the Phoenix Marathon are hooking you up with a coupon too! Use code: runeat10 for $10.00 of registration!

I am really going to try and post while I’m in China because I LOVE reading travel blog posts with pics of new places and interesting food! But, I’m not sure what the whole internet / social media situation is going to be like there. So, I have calendared posts ready for each day in case you’re super bored and want to hang out with me here 
Question: Should I dip the triscuits in PB if I only have vodka water to wash it down?
Reg just opened for 2015, will this code work for that, didn’t see a spot for promo code.
Sorry – this code was for 2014.
I live in Phoenix. The races in AZ are the best!!!
I’m sure you already know this but they have a marathon ON the GREAT WALL! I lived in Taiwan for a while back in the day and I had a few friends that did it. Not sure when it is, but if it’s happening when you are there you should totally do it!! Have fun.
I have totally looked into it, but it’s super expensive. Boo. Maybe one day.
So jealous! Enjoy your trip and be safe 🙂
I vote for dipping them in Nutella – can’t wait to read about you China adventures!
I’m doing the half marathon in Phoenix! It’s my second one, and I’m super excited to run there!
I can’t believe your going to China! have fun and safe travels to you. I can’t wait to hear about it.
i’d be interested to hear how well the whole groupon travel discount worked out for you. I always see great deals, but I’m always worried about them falling through or being too complicated (blackout dates, must travel this week.. ) that I end up not buying them. have funn!!!
So many people have told me that. I’m kinda like the test case so I can give you the ‘it works!’ all clear 🙂
That’s exciting. I can’t wait to hear about it because we’re going in April! You can fill me in on everything I need to know! 🙂
If peanut butter is involved, the answer is always yes.
Have so much fun!!
USE NUTELLA. Have so much fun!
Hey I’m running the Phoenix Half! I did it last year and it’s a very flat, even slightly downhill race. I was impressed with the crowd support too. Have a great time in China, I’m going to Hong Kong in the fall, which I’m pretty pumped about. Also, I used a Groupon for my honeymoon and it worked out great!
Yeah! See you there 🙂
Stay safe and most of all, have lots of fun and eat yummy food! 🙂
China! That’s so exciting! And no I didn’t go back to work… We got 12 inches of snow!
Have an awesome and flight trip/flight!! I have had a friend who recently went to China and had the time of his life! So have fun! I would dip them in PB, get some protein into that meal 🙂
Don’t think you’ll be running outside much in China.. the smog is GROSS. I was there this summer and only had one outdoor run. If you can get to the Great Wall it’s AMAZING… I cannot recommed Sonya as a guide enough on the wall or within Beijing (if that is where you will be…) http://www.chinatravellers.com/Index.asp
HAVE A BLAST! China is fun 🙂
I’m so jealous! I’m always looking at the “getaway groupons” but never have the money to get one. Just a couple days ago I saw a cruise to Greece, how cool would that be!?! That’s where my dream marathon is. I’ll run 26.2 miles, then relax on a boat and drink cocktails for a week. Perfect recovery:-)
Whoa have so much fun! My cousin went to China about 10 years ago for a 6 month work trip… and liked it so much that he never came back. Haha so I guess it’s pretty awesome over there!
What a crazy Groupon! All I ever get is a half of massage or dinner for two. Have fun!!!!
That is an awesome groupon to purchase! Have fun and definately check in and share some pictures while your there!!
I never was in China, and I represent this country as other planet… Though at my university there are Chinese students. It will be interesting to see your messages from this country!
Are you going alone? I could never take that big of a trip alone!!! If so, kudos to you and if you are bringing Ben well, have even more fun! 😉
Love living vicariously thru u…just don’t eat the donkey at Walmart. But please post lotsa food pics!
Which city(ies) are you visiting? You should try the Great Wall Marathon in May! Have friends who have done it and enjoyed the event. Or if you’re in Shanghai, run along the Bund.
Have so much fun! Ive always wanted to buy a huge groupon vacation (preferably ireland) but Ive never pulled the trigger.
When I was in China in 2012, some places like Starbucks (of course) had free wifi, but they require you to enter your phone number to access. Luckily we had bought SIM cards, otherwise we wouldn’t have access to email, Instagram and Facebook. 😉
oh my gosh!! have an amazing time! I’ve never been to China but I know people who have and loved it!
Dip the triscuits in Vodka if it’s infused, like raspberry or something. Then it will be like a drunk PB & J 🙂 Have fun in China! I bet it will be awesome!
Dunk N’ Drunk PB&J!
Wow – China sounds amazing! Enjoy you trip hope you can post a few times because I can’t wait to follow along on your journey!
Ahh!! So exciting. A coworker bought a crazy discounted china trip last year and loved it. He leaves next Sunday for his second trip this time with his girlfriend. He highly recommends whatever site he used (I don’t remember it) but it was flight + hotel + some tours for like $1k.
I’m so excited for the coupon code! Will it work for the half as well?
Have a great time in China!!
Yes, I’m pretty sure! Let me know if it doesn’t and I’ll ask for an alternate.
WOW – China – I have seen your posts on IG about this – crazy!!!!
a groupon to China? Incredible!
I still can’t believe you’re going to effing China. Please walk on the Great Wall and play with cute fluffy panda bears for me!
I am on a mission to hug a panda.
My boyfriend was just in China in April…apparently the internet can be pretty reliable but they block a lot of websites. The government also has access to your search history! Wheee!
As for tomorrow’s dinner? Just a spoonful of vodka helps the peanut butter go down. In the most delightful way.
Enjoy your trip!
Good to know! I bet they’ll block RER… we’ll see.
