I have just spent what seems to have been forever on an airplane. I flew for the very first time to England. I booked this trip last year. Long before the blogging contest. It never occured to me that I couldn’t continue to blog while on holiday.
I spent some quality time with my copy of Run Fatboy Run. I wanted to make sure that I knew the places that were featured in the movie. I want to recreate the movie starring yours truly. Oh and the other exception is that there won’t be any video of me doing silly and possibly gross things.
One of things I don’t wish to recreate is the eventful trip over. I learned several valuable lessons today.
Despite how big the plane may be, it is never a good idea to go for a short run. The cabin attendants don’t like it when they have to get out of the way of a runner wearing an MP3 player. And you lose the zone that you get into when running when you are trying to dodge the trolley cart.
Another valuable lesson when travelling on a plane. Despite going for just a “short run” your jogging clothes might still smell from the previous run. If you are organized, you can wash them before going on your vacation. Otherwise wearing them on the plane and then after a run means you aren’t going to be ingratiating yourself with your fellow passengers.
And lastly, the Garmin just won ‘t catch on an airplane. No matter how close you put your arm to the window.
I’m going to be posting from various parts of England. And will include pictures from here too. In the meantime, I’m going to see if I can wash the running clothes in the bathtub before my next run
