in the world of firsts...

i woke up yesterday in a miserable state... going to blame it on the scallops and shrimp i had for dinner the night before..  it could just be week three of travel taking its toll...
i suck down some breakfast at the hotel - scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit, muffin, coffee, oj... 
still feeling a bit out of it as i head to the airport - a really nasty feeling i must say
get through all that is the airport and grab myself a mango smoothie - the concept sounds appealing at the time - mango, peaches, ginger, vanilla yogurt...  it tasted wonderful
as usual, i hit the seat on the plane and go to sleep for a few minutes - gonna guess 30 or so...
i feel better after the nap
and then out of all things - the flight pattern starts to take a toll on me...  this is not something that normally gets to me...  sure, i am not a fan of being below deck on boats and the occassional car ride can get to me but never on an airplane
the mountains below, the horizon in the distance, the hard left turn as if we have to go east now that we have spent so much time going south...  but i am ok
and then there is the approach - and at this time i just want to be on the ground... and from the looks of things we are circling some - oh there is carowinds below us - not far now..
and then we get it - additional turbulence --- and i am done
i forewarn the poor woman sitting next to me that i dont feel well... she says the turbulence is getting to her too - not sure if i needed to hear that
but whatever the case - that smoothie did not want to stay down
thank goodness it was just a smoothie...
i have never had anything like that happen to me before - i sure hope it is not a new found motion sickness - that would SUCK!
i think my stomach was just sour... as it is still pretty iffy at the moment
i ended up coming straight home instead of going to the office...  i worked on getting some food into my system and then i did some work
watched some Vampire Diaries and off to bed I went
today is the last weekend before the race - i am now trying to motivate to get some activity in.. not sure a run is going to go anywhere...
swimming at 930
