Fitness Travel Weekend

SEA –> FLL

October 30, 2022

About to head home! We had a fun trip that felt like a total time warp whirlwind, and I’m glad we came. This trip was not really tourism-focused but it was fun to explore parts of Seattle nevertheless! We ate some great pho, went to the original Nordstrom, and yes — I did purchase a Patagonia jacket though I actually went with the “down sweater” because I wanted more warmth than the nano puff. Hopefully I won’t regret it!

plan to bring this on trips to cold places for the rest of my life

We had a lovely time at the bar mitzvah festivities and Josh got to spend a good amount of time with his friend which was great. We did a 2023 planning session (yay!) and Josh and I recorded a podcast episode together, so hopefully that will turn out well (will be out a week from tomorrow).

Weekly Workout Report

It’s Sunday, so time for another workout report. And here’s a hotel gym selfie that makes me think of similar pix from Coco.

the W gym was great

T: 30 min full body strength with Jess Sims + 2 mi walk (at work)

Back to Reality

Re-entry is going to be a bit rough because tomorrow is Halloween AND I have a full patient day. On the plus side I think I’m tired enough that the switch back to Eastern time won’t be too bad? Maybe?

The kids have no school November 1 which was quite strategic of the school.

Happy Sunday!

    Glad you had fun! Jacket looks and sounds great. I have a down vest I adore, have had it for a decade and it still looks new.
    Excited that Josh will be a guest on BLP! Looking forward to hearing his perspective.

      I really like the color! Unfortunately, Patagonia doesn’t seem to fit me well, so I’ll have to admire from afar.

    Glad you enjoyed Alaska Airlines. It’s also my favorite airline.
