Putting the final touches to my upcoming trip in late April and early May. Figuring out logistics and what to do and see. Just a plan for the eating and sightseeing, but going to book flights, rental car, and a hotel room for a night before the Wisconsin race in Kenosha, WI.
Thanks to PEERTrainer brandva, whom I asked to crash at her home for the week in between KY Derby and Wisconsin marathon. Lately, I have been trying to just be more frugal than ever before. In my first 1/2 of my 50 states journey, it was low mid to low budget properties. But on the 2nd half, it's crashing at friends and MM friends' homes while traveling, as well as hotel room sharing with other MM whenever possible.
I missed running the Maui Ocean Front Marathon yesterday. I was a legacy runner, but not anymore. Need to save $$ for new states.
Something at home. Been feeling blah lately.
