This weekend my boyfriend and I took a much needed mini-vacation down to the coast. We've both been traveling a lot this year, with more coming up, and between the stress of spending that much time apart, and the hectic-ness of trying to catch up while we're in town, we both needed this sooo bad. I just wish it could have been a few days longer. So we took off for the weekend, down to the beach. We got a nice deal on a beachfront hotel. Friday was mostly spent driving down, but we went to the beach for a half hour swim or so, then went to dinner and feasted on fresh seafood.
Saturday, we rented bikes from the hotel after breakfast, and rode all over the island. It was so refreshing to just bike for recreation. Don't get me wrong, I like training. I take it seriously. But it's really nice to remember that this is something that is just FUN too. To just mosey around on a fixed gear beach cruiser, and stop and take in the sights. To not worry about cadence, and nutrition (we did bring along water since it was so hot- would have been miserable otherwise), and pace, and distance, etc.
All in all, it was a nice relaxing vacation. Which is the whole point right? We stayed active enough that I didn't come back feeling like a slug, but it was a nice break from the grind of training (not to mention work and stuff).
