Vacation recap, in brief

travel / 5 Comments

While this was a quick trip, mostly aimed at getting to run the Reggae Marathon, it ended up being a vacation that relaxed me almost as much and felt almost as fulfilling as a full week away. In an effort to keep this short and get this post up ASAP, I’m going to categorize the insights I gained this weekend. From books: I read Charlotte Hilton Andersen’s The Great Fitness Experiment, which I’d highly recommend. I’ve been reading her blog for years, but her book contained some new content and I found it really inspiring – expect a longer post …

Now that they’ve reminded me, I can’t help but crave their buttery oaky Chardonnay! I had it for the first time as a sample in the wine tasting course I took in college, but it’s long stuck with me as a favorite – if you haven’t tried it already, I’d …
