Bring on the vacations...

I love to travel. As much as I am a homebody here in Austin, I love a good trip. There's something about arranging the details and going somewhere else. Including this weekend, we're only in town three of the next seven weeks! That's my kind of schedule.

Here's what we have in store...

• This week - 2 1/2 more days of work, long run Sat, then begin to taper (peak phase!). My mantra? Make it to noon Saturday, make it to noon Saturday, make it to noon Saturday...
• April 6-12 - 4 day work week, fly on Friday to Augusta...we're going to the Masters on Saturday!!! Look for us on TV. If we wear a weird color shirt or an easily identifiable hat, we'll let you know, but there aren't any cameras or phones allowed on the course, so there won't be any live blogging.
• April 13-19 - 5 day work week, 10 mile run on Saturday, easy peasy. Enjoy weekend in Austin, hoping for beautiful weather.
• April 20-26 - 4 day work week - leave for Nashville Thursday afternoon, Marathon on Saturday, don't return until Monday night. Yay Nashville! We've got tickets to the late show at the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday night, a Nashville must. After the marathon Saturday morning, we've got the rest of Saturday, all day Sunday, and most of the day Monday to be tourists.
• April 27-May 3 - 4 day work week, sleep in every day! So freaking excited to sleep!!Weekend after marathon - enjoy weekend at home!
• May 4-10 - 5 day work week, sleep in every day! Leave for Maui on Saturday!
• May 11-17 - Maui vacation! Sleep, sun, books, walks on the beach! Yay, yay, yay!

We're very lucky to get to do all of this. Not bragging, just really excited that all of the vacations are so close together this beautiful time of year.
