Keeping up with it.

   


This is a random little rant. I am actually going to break up today's post into two parts just in case ya want to skip over this part and get to today's festivities.

    With fitness and health becoming such a passion of mine, i've had to remind myself that this isn't vacation. yes! I do want to enjoy myself, but letting myself become sedentary in such a beautiful place; well that would be a waste wouldn't it? With that being said, i'm doing less running here due to the whole "crossing the street ordeal" (learning the lane direction), and not to mention the business of the streets leaves little room for comfortable running. I am however beginning to enjoy yoga. It helps start the day off on the right note. Here in Ireland, they do not ask " have you had breakfast?". They ask "are you set for the day?". They taking their morning routine pretty seriously here so I feel inclined to do the day. Today's workout was cut short due to lack hearing the alarm. To make up for it, a date with Shaun T of Insanity. Max interval training at it's finest. That's it really. But I figured an online commitment in front of all of you readers will help keep me accountable!




   Next, food! Today's highlights were tea at Jameston Castle and the lovely dinner I made myself :)




     Ashton and I have made it our mission to experience every tea room we encounter on historical sites such as these. Tea for two and a split pastry makes the cost efficient and the indulgence light. (Tea , 1.80)







    Dinner, okay to be honest. I kicked butt at this one. Pan fried turkey breast with mushrooms + salad with light honey dressing/hazelnuts + rye bread with sunflower butter and rhubarb preserves.

My life is an path that seems to bloom with every step I take. Here I am in the midst of a new season of travel beyond my wildest imagination. Seeing the world in a fresh pair of eyes. Perhaps things might seem a little greener.
