Texaaaaaassss...

I made it safely to Texas! After another 800 miles of driving, and 11 hrs on the road I'm pooped! I would try to post something...but honestly I have nothing to post about. Car/traveling eats are boring but let me tell you, I can't wait to get my hands on some real food for meals (other than on-the-go stuff) instead of random eats like pretzels, chocolate chips and clementines for dinner. Yeah, it was that kind of dinner. :)

Anyhow, I did and am trying to get some exercising in while I'm on the road so much! My legs are loving me for it (though my face is hating me and car interior conditions like drying out my pores/making my face ubber oily) and so are my arms! I have brought my 5lb weights with me so I used them last night for a nice strength training session (about 1/2 hr) with an added 2.75 mile run beforehand in the cold of New Mexico! And don't worry...I was safe where I ran; nice and brightly lit!

Ok, I'm off to bed! I have another 8 hr drive tomorrow to Pensacola, FL. Any suggestions of where to eat for dinner?! I need something real and substantial!

Till tomorrow! And thanks for all the well wishes with the driving!

I went to college in Pensacola and my mom lives there! It's been over 6 years since I lived there, though, so I'm not sure any restaurant suggestions would be valid. Maybe try tripadvisor.

You're so close! I don't know if I would have the patience to drive for that long. I hope the driving goes smoothly today.
PS-I have my own blog now!

Glad your drive is going as well as it can! Maybe try subway for dinner! Orr maybe something like Fresh City (not sure if there are any in FL though)! :)
