Freedom Trail Run

      Recently, my wife, sister and I took a weekend trip to Massachusetts.  We headed up to Salem on Friday night, then we toured Boston on Saturday.   I was happy to  participate on Saturday morning in the Freedom Trail Run, a 5k that is designed to show you historic sites in Boston while getting your morning exercise in.  The run passes by approximately 16 historic sites and I really enjoyed it and highly recommend doing this.
     While I was running/touring, my wife and sister were having breakfast and visiting the New England Aquarium.  Then we all met up and took the Duck Tour around Boston.
      Vacations, just like anything in life, are all about balance.  I ran, we did a lot of walking, but we also ate well, visited breweries and had a great time. Make sure you are getting your exercise in.  Park a little further away from the things you would like to do so you have to walk more.  Get out in the sunshine and get in your Vitamin D.  Use sunscreen to protect your skin. Eat vegetables and fruit and drink plenty of liquids.  Most of all enjoy yourself.
