It's no big secret around here that I've had some crazy health issues over the past few years.

I've been loving making my rounds to various beaches this year! First the Bahamas, then Laguna Beach, CA, then Sunset Beach, NC, and most recently (last week) the Outer Banks.

Short post alert. I'm currently on vacation in the Outer Banks, and last week was crazy with work projects and trying to get ready, as well as trying to recover from my health issues from the past few weeks.

I'm still hitting some bumps on this training reboot, although I'm still getting in most runs and miles. 

My training reboot continues, but it wouldn't be my running story if it didn't have multiple setbacks every time I try to do something, right?

Summer is here! And shockingly, I'm actually pretty glad about that.

After two crazy weeks (one including travel to California), I managed to get myself back on the training track. I got in all of my workouts, including 4 runs, 2 strength, and a swim (yay, summer!).

So. I didn't exactly hit all of my April goals, but I knew some of them (okay, all of them) would be a stretch given my travel and work schedule.

It's been two months since we were in the Bahamas and I'm just now getting around to posting pictures.

Other than the route right out my doorstep, which is actually pretty damn awesome and includes running by the sound and through some beautiful neighborhoods (including two options with golf courses if I run long enough), I have a few other running routes around the city that I really like and also have some pretty spectacular views.
