post-vacation lull

I (am lucky enough that I am able to) try to live my life so that vacations are not the only bright spot, that the normal weeks put up a good fight in competition with international adventures. Here’s how I’m coping with life after France:

  • after roughly 2.7 years of talking about it, I bought a bike (it’s red and black and beautiful and though has only so far been in my “dining room” it already has a flat tire, so tire-changing education is on the menu too)
  • signed up for my first triathlon (entries were on sale so it is only costing me $42 to torture myself)
  • going to see The Wall at Yankee Stadium with my Mom, because that’s how we roll
  • sister and J$’s wedding (!!!!!!!) #Pippastatus
  • running a trail 15K that threatens to do me in
  • signed up for improv 401
  • training for the Marine Corps Marathon starting Monday
  • multiple Red Bulls games (missed you, parking garage)
