I'm doing the Med/Venice on the Brilliance (I pondered the itinerary you did, but ultimately I could NOT pass up overnight in Venice!!) which is RT from Barcelona and hits some of the same ports. I loved the review, and it definitely gave me some ideas for the shared ports! So I wanted to say thanks! Looking forward to reading through this blog! :)bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16976336276088393312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100140666365898132.post-69575848049434518882015-07-16T19:11:01.993-05:002015-07-16T19:11:01.993-05:00Looks like a mean photobomber!Looks like a mean photobomber!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100140666365898132.post-8235432750995063482015-07-14T23:23:29.115-05:002015-07-14T23:23:29.115-05:00Yah!

My Dad always says I was "full of it", so I've always had the gift of gab and story telling…:) <br /><br />You should really do this race; it was a lot of fun. As I said, I loved the course change…those ramps were pretty awesome!!! <br /><br />As far as my PR, Hubby and I suspect the course was a bit short…but we can't confirm that. He blew his PR away, too, so that's why were a bit suspicious. It will be interesting to see what I do on my next 5k… and I'm doing the Hospital Hill 5k, but I'm not going for a PR on that one, as I'm doing the 10k the next morning, and I have to "save" some juice!!! :)<br />KCSherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197104891128238863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100140666365898132.post-87237750192276987442015-05-24T16:52:36.296-05:002015-05-24T16:52:36.296-05:00Haha your town cops have like mine trailed me and ...Haha your town cops have like mine trailed me and followed me on my runs as well on numerous occasions.

Every day I seem to do something that brings him back to me. Last weekend (Mother's Day) was my daughter's college graduation (Bachelors and Masters at once!), and I was filled with emotion, as he had intended to be there. He was supposed to be there. He had wanted to be there. I had made and paid for his hotel reservation. <br /><br />So I feel/share your pain.<br /><br />Excited to hear about your upcoming trip. We did Germany (with Dad - is he speaking to me through your post today?) in 2012 in a BIG way. I have lots of tips of the beautiful things you can see there. I never would have planned a vacation to Germany, but I am glad now that I went, and I want to go back. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is my absolute favorite place "in the whole wide world" (as Dad would say).<br /><br />And yes, I'd love to sit on your porch and sip wine and share stories of running, travel and dads with you one day. Maybe we will one day get that chance...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786949779217978593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100140666365898132.post-32516293005539348982015-05-19T07:25:32.809-05:002015-05-19T07:25:32.809-05:00I read this post and thought I'd commented on ...I read this post and thought I'd commented on it!

Running has also taught me to push myself....when I thought I couldn't. It's brought me through some pretty dark times . . .nothing shakes the blues, poor me's, worry, stress, etc. like a long run. And of course, it's given me opportunities to meet great new folks that I probably would not have known otherwise....like you! :)<br /><br />I've lost my fair share of loved ones....and, for me, it still hurts.....I'm guessing it always will because I loved them so much.<br /><br />How exciting that you get to take such a great trip...even Liechtenstein sounds pretty cool! :)<br /><br />It's sometimes hard to remember to enjoy every day.....especially when the days are not so great...but that's probably when we need to look for the good, even in those tough moments.<br /><br />I do not feel ready for the HH half. I hope the next three weeks bring some quality running opportunities....however, I know I will enjoy that race no matter how prepared I feel I am/am not. Hope to see you there (at the 10K). danaDana of The Stone Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12339577944467672802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100140666365898132.post-41511589643326168072015-05-16T20:01:31.989-05:002015-05-16T20:01:31.989-05:00Whoo hooo! congrats on a great race!
