planes. light rail cars. taxi cabs.

last week began with an hour and a half flight and ended with a 40 minute taxi ride.

you guessed it, last week was my first of two yearly trips to Utah for the Outdoor Retailer tradeshow.

it was a whirlwind trip. busy days jam-packed with 6am workouts. back-to-back appointments. on-the-go lunches. more outdoor and running product than you can shake a stick at (never really understood that saying haha). being wined and dined by colleagues and vendors. it was hectic, crazy, fun. :)

here's a few memorable moments i'd like to share:

silly, but i am so, so amazed at how much technology has advanced. streaming movies on an airplane? i would have never thought it possible as a kid! truth be told, the wifi was spotty, so i ended up watching a movie that was already on my iPad mini. the point it, it's possible haha.

a little #fromWhereIstand moment at the show. i wore my Columbia snowboots the first day, but ended up with such a bad blister on my heel that i had to rely on my trusty-dusty toms for the rest of the show.

another #fromWhereIstand moment. snow. something i've missed ever since moving away from a place where there are still real winters.

highlight of my trip! i got to catch Capital Cities in a small, private party! they are definitely still a little rough around the edges. newbies. loved it though!

the city in all its morning glory.

i'm a sucker for on-the-plane pics haha. i must have a hundred or so similar to this. all different places. different times. different terrains.

so, what's this week have in store for this girl? well, i haven't really left my bedroom since i've been back. not sure if it was in the plane, the convention hall, the hotel, the gym, or in one of the restaurants, but somewhere along the way i caught a nasty bug. came back friday. it's tuesday and i am still in bed. blahh.

that's three times since the beginning of the year that i've been sick! holy heck! not sure where my immune system has gone to, but boy oh boy do i plan on doing all i can to boost it once i finally K.O. this flu.

but anyways. i hope you're all having a splendid week so far. :)

stay healthy. stay active. smile.
