Comin' Home!

Well, it's the last night of our cruise and we are in the home stretch - will arrive in NOLA at 7am tomorrow (Thursday). We almost missed the ship leaving on Saturday. After the run in Clinton, we dashed home to Madison, showered, changed clothes, finished packing, ran by the bank, grabbed a 'superfood' Wendi's burger (first since starting MM) and arrived in NOLA at 2 pm. There was a bad wreck on the Interstate near Causeway Blvd exit and we were stuck for an hour. Made it to the cruise terminal with 30 min. to spare!

I cracked the whip and had Jana on the Treadmill or Elliptical EVERY MORNING!! No kidding. We workied out, according to the MM schedule, before 8am every morning, including all the machines in the gym today. Jana also ran the elliptical 30 min this morning after the machines. It's a good thing, because with all the food around this place, all you 'teenage eaters' woud be in paradise!

We've had great weather, and a great time. Highly recommended for R&R. No phones, no email, no blogs (missed them) and no worries, except deciding WHERE to eat next!

Hey, isn't technology amazing. I can sit in the lobby of the crusie ship and be online (fairly good high speed). Also, now cell phones work pretty much anywhere in the Caribbean on the ship, as well as in Mexico. (Can't imagine the per minute cell charges, but at least it's available).

See everybody Saturday morning (except poor Mark) at the REZ.

Clark (and Jana)

Good for you guys staying on track and keeping up with the schedule. That's more than I could have said if it were me on vacation. Although, I don't know... never been on a cruise....sounds nice..... Anyway, can't wait to see you guys and everybody else Saturday. Are ya'll coming to the Firefly to help out? I'll be there helping. Since we're not allowed to run.....

Worked out every morning while on a cruise? Way to go! You all are in the right frame of mind for training and completing Chicago. I'd love to see Robin when she comes to visit you. It sure will make me feel old though.

How is your knee? I read in Jana's blog that it's been swollen and you were going to the doctor today. Is it ok? (I mean, considering...)
