Hotel Breakfast

I recently met up with some aunts and a cousin to do the Seattle Rock 'n' Roll half marathon. While we had a phenomenal time, it meant overcoming some challenges that come with being out of town and away from your own kitchen. Luckily, our hotel was just down the street from a very well stocked grocery store. This was a lifesaver! I immediately bought a small jar of plain almond butter, some rice cakes, fruit, sunflower seeds, and some carrots. This would become my little hotel food supply to help prevent snacking on things I shouldn't while out touring the city.

My favorite breakfast...almond buttered rice cakes with dragon fruit. Mmmmmm!!!!

The day after the running event, one of my aunts and I decided to do some travel WODs in our hotel's gym. I had picked up a deck of cards that morning, so we did "Deck of Death", followed by 10 rounds of: 10 jump and touches, while the other partner does 4 (alternate each arm) 35lb dumbbell snatches. As soon as we finished, a really fit looking lady in her 40's came into the gym and must have seen how pooped we looked. She asked us what we had done, and after explaining it to her, she had this very interested look on her face. I told her that we would do it again with her, and she was totally game! So in the end, we did 2 Deck of Deaths, and 2 of the other WOD. It was so much fun and I loved how into it this total stranger was. She was asking lots of questions about CrossFit, which was great for me, because I love talking about it :) I'm quite confident that she'll be looking up a box to join when she gets home!
