A couple weeks ago, Jess and I drove down the Pacific Coast Highway from San Francisco to Los Angeles. I didn’t travel a lot before we got married, so this trip made me feel very fancy. Plus, we got a whole bunch of pictures that look great on Instagram.
As excited as I was to see the West (er, Best?) Coast, I was also worried that I wouldn’t be able to run while on vacation. And I expected to be very annoying about it after we got home. “The Pacific Ocean was, like, so inspiring,” I thought I’d say whenever someone asked about the trip. “But I didn’t do my long run, so basically all my goals for the spring are shot.”
As someone who still isn’t exactly well-traveled, I learned a few lessons about running while on vacation. Here are a few of the most important things I think I learned last week.
