Day 7: Bye Bye Buenos

Bad news: Day 7 was our last one in Buenos Aires. Good news: We weren’t heading home, we were off to Uruguay!   Phew.  I definitely wasn’t ready to ditch my relaxing morning routine (and by that I mean lack of routine). For lunch Kyle and I wanted to go back to Palermo SoHo.  It was such a cute part of town, we figured it would be the best way to end our time in BsAs.  Also, we had been dreaming of this salad since we first had it earlier in the trip.  Randomly, Mark’s… Read more >

Missing motivation

I seem to be unable to motivate myself to run.  I think I have the reverse problem from the rest of society…as soon as I sign up for a race I lose all inspiration to train.  I’m OCD enough to eke out some willpower, but forced running is not fun running.  I know myself, so I know the difference between being bored with my running route and being bored with running in any form.  Boredom is not my problem.  Motivation is.  I’m missing my running mojo. The difference between the old Elise and the person… Read more >
