I'm so excited about some upcoming trips and also about running season!!! The weather is BEAUTIFUL here in South Texas and I almost felt a chill in the air today!
I managed my way through the weekend 11 mile long run and today I only have slight knee pain that had me searching out the ramps at the mall. No stairs today. Stairs are bad. Evil, in fact. I want to squeeze in at least one more 10+ mile run before the Corpus Christi Half Marathon in TWO weeks! (Oh crap. That's soon.)
A short month after the Corpus Half , we're running the San Antonio Half Marathon, then the St. Jude Half Marathon. I have a couple of months to up my mileage for the New Orleans Mardi Gras Marathon so I should be prepared (unless I decide to eat Twix bars and ice cream instead of going to the gym... which is very possible.)
We also get to go to a good friend's wedding on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in a few more weeks and I get to see some of my Birmingham book club friends again! The mass exodus from Birmingham left us all scattered in different cities so it's wonderful that we get to see each other again. I can't wait! I miss these girls and I am so excited for our reunion! On our way to Mississippi, we're stopping in New Orleans for a couple of nights.
Does anyone have hotel recommendations for New Orleans? We're looking for something clean and reasonably priced near the French Quarter. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Happy fall to you!
