exercising on vacation

I'm currently down in New Jersey visiting my best friend for a few days. I booked cheap flights a few months back and have been looking forward to our mini vacation for WEEKS. One thing I don't look forward to on vacation, however, is the limited opportunities to exercise. I knew I wanted to get a few runs in while I was down here, so I packed everything that I would need so there would be no excuses!

Pre-run fuel. I don't normally drink coffee everyday, but we've been staying up late and Dustin has a Keurig. Plus my all time favorite running fuel of peanut butter jelly toast.

Kick ass running outfit from Gap Fit. I didn't check a bag, so packing lots of tech material was the easiest way to get everything that I needed in a small space.

Proof! Loved the route I took - wound through my friend's neighborhood, checked out some nice houses and had a great sidewalk the whole way.

Of course, there is more to vacation than just my morning run...Dustin and I took on NYC yesterday for some fun! We saw Mary Poppins on Broadway (my second time, I bawled just as much this time as last!), went to Shake Shack and browsed Madame Tussaud's. it was a great day!

Best friends forever....literally, love this guy.
