Healthy Travels

Sometimes I find it difficult to stay healthy while traveling. There are some many temptations on the road; the smell of grease, soda to make it through the long drive, or campfire treats. I also can not fit my bike or skis in my carry-on so I have learned to rely on my trusty running shoes.

While in Juneau I have found myself snacking on cereal and bananas while in class and looking for local restaurants in the evening. Last night after a run around Auk Lake and sea kayaking in Auk Bay we finished our day off at an outstanding Thai restaurant.

The menu made us want to stay for a month longer in order to try everything but I settled on Red Curry. Life is good!

Just the Beginning

Apparently it is time to join the blogging craze. Let's see how this goes. Let's focus on what everyone enjoys the most in life - family, friends, food, and playing 'till your heart is content. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about how to best spend my free time; biking, skiing, running, kiting. Oh so many options. And always waiting at home a healthy home cooked meal with the people I love. Yes life is good.
