Personal:

I've been running since high school (mid-1990s) and do pretty well when I'm focused on a goal. My main problem  is running consistently when I'm NOT training for something specific. I'm an attorney, and I've been married to my husband, also a runner, for 5 1/2 years. We live in Phoenix, Arizona.  We had a beautiful baby girl, Caroline, in August 2009.

We arrived  at Groton Long Point, Connecticut yesterday afternoon, and this place is beautiful!  Our flight was delayed (bad luck with flying lately!), and we hardly slept on the plane at all, so we are still recovering from jet lag.

I basically didn't sleep at all Friday  night, slept 9 hours last night, and just woke up from an hour and a half nap!  My husband is still asleep.

My mom's new house here is right on the beach, and there is a boardwalk that stretches around the sound.  I'm looking forward to running there.  There is also a state park nearby with a lot of trails.  The town in general is runner-friendly.  There are not a lot of cars, and there are people on bikes everywhere.  We plan to run tomorrow when we are fully recovered from jet lag.  We also have kayaks, so we plan on exploring the area that way as well.

In the meantime, we're eating very well!  Last night, my mom's husband cooked clams, shrimp, and lobster.  We each had our own personal lobster, which I've never had before, so it was quite the experience!

We had fully planned on running today, but we still have no energy!  I guess it takes a while to catch up when you basically miss an entire night's sleep!
