This is My Island in the Sun

After a week in the Azores, we're back stateside just in time to start marathon training and just in time for a massive heat wave. Or I heard it's called a heat dome, maybe? Who knows, but I feel like this is The Sign for me that it's time to step-up. There is no way I can run after work in the weather that is coming. Heck, there's a chance I won't be able to run in the morning either, but it's a much better shot. So, here we go...

It is also worth noting that the return from vacation is always rough. For me, some of it is the loss of no more work, but more of it is the recovery from the travel and knowing what waits at work for the catch-up. I do love to take vacations, but sometimes I feel like the whack it causes to your routine can be trying. But what a first world problem. I am lucky enough to have the time and money to be able to take these trips.
