The countdown is on for our European ski trip, but first, some slope time in Vermont! It’s hard to believe that we’ll be in Switzerland in less than a week. These past week had a little bit of running (almost 18 miles), a trip to the gym and a lot of time on the road! Here’s what went down this week…
Mon – 2.5 miles treadmill run. This was going to be a longer run but when I noticed my knee was feeling a bit wonky I decided to not go any longer. No need to mess with that! I went to the gym and my knee was feeling OK. Go figure.
It was a productive day as I did some final travel planning for our upcoming trip to Switzerland. It’s always so great to tie up the loose ends and feel well prepared!
Tues – 3 miles treadmill run. A nice workout before work. Too dark and cold for me to go outside!
Weds – 4 miles treadmill run. I totally forgot I had been watching Emily in Paris before we went on the Utah/Colorado ski trip so it was fun to catch up on that show again. It ended up being a stressful day so tacos and margaritas were necessary!
Thurs – 4 miles running. A crisp sunny morning, and brrrrrr, so cold!
Fri – Driving to Stowe, Vermont. We hit the road with our daughter for her spring break. The trip was a little over 11 hours on the map, but with a few bathroom breaks along the way we ended up driving about 12.5 hours. Stowe is not really easy to get to! We had to drive on quite a few twisty small roads through New York. In retrospect we should have taken our passports with us and drove through Canada because it seems like more major roads. Oh well. Thankfully it was only dark for the last hour of our drive. It was nice to get settled into our hotel! It’s a really cute place.
Sat – Ski day at Stowe! It’s busy here because of spring break. The day started out a bit rough with long waits in lift lines and it even started to rain a bit.
But the afternoon was good when we found areas of the mountain with less crowds. It was a full day of skiing (my 18th day of the season!) and we had dinner in the town of Stowe. The nachos were delish!
Sun – Another ski day is on tap! As luck would have it the temperatures are supposed to drop for the next two days. At least we have a lot of snow and the right gear, so we’ll be fine.
Need some more inspiration? I’m linking up with Deborah at Confessions of a Mother Runner and Kim from Running on the Fly for their Weekly Run Down. Check out all of the fun blogs there!
Here’s a fun thing Alan made on the 3D printer… a cheese slice container. So fun!
Q: Do you have any travel plans coming up this year? Driving or flying, or staying local?
You and Coco both in Vermont skiing.
You both drive through my state!!!
Glad to hear it went well.
I plan to travel by train to NYC twice and by plane to Asheville. All in March.
