Brooke had to use the tiger tail to roll out her legs after her intense treadmill run yesterday. I had to lay on the ground for a really long time because that is always my reward after I run.
She makes me very proud.
A 14 lb chicken pot pie for dinner last night with the whole family. Nothing like a random Thursday night get together.
Brooke went to bed and I picked up Paige for the world’s quickest road trip. The 4 hour drive felt like 30 minutes.
Caffeine was necessary.
We drove down to St. George (about 4 hours away) because I am going to speak at the She Runs Retreat today and then head back home afterwards.
I don’t know why I love staying in hotels so much but I just do.
We may have stopped to get froyo before checking into our hotel room so that we could eat it in bed while watching cable. I don’t have cable at home so I am forced to take advantage of it at hotels.
Happy Friday and get in a good run today!!!

Emmeline @RunForThePizza
Pizza!! Obviously… And cake :)
I don’t even remember my last road trip, maybe when we first moved like a year and a half ago? I used to do them all the time back in VA up to Philly or NYC or out to WVA for snowboarding. I miss it!
Gabrielle @ Marathons and Macarons
Will run for cupcakes!!!
But I prefer French Toast as a post-run reward. :)
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More
Will Run For Sweets! I’m not picky. ;)
The last road trip I took was Oregon to the Midwest. It was a doozy!
Good luck with your speech.
Kristina @ Fast and Foodiest
Will run for: Cheese. Wine. Mac and Cheese. Eggs. Pancakes. (depends on the time of day, lol. Long run= lots of time to think about what I want to eat!)
Last road trip was down to Virginia for my brother’s wedding. I officiated. 13 hour drive from the Boston area!
Reward depends on the day. Last night we had steak for dinner. I happened to have gone running about 40 minutes before dinner. Steak = reward. Sometime the reward is any of what I mentioned before :)
Karien @ Running the Race
Good luck for your speech!
Kari @ Running Ricig
We don’t have cable at home, either, so it’s always exciting to go to hotels.
The last road trip I took was to Philly to work at the Philly Marathon Expo.
My reward after a long run? A super hot shower so I don’t freeze in my freezing cold house.
Monica
Will Run for Wine. Or Coffee. Although I haven’t had either in over a year and a half, since I got pregnant with my now-10 month old. So I guess I’ll say Cheese. Will Run for Cheese.
Last road trip was with the baby, up to my parent’s house to visit. Only 2 hours each way for the weekend, but with a little one, it seems like so much more of an adventure than it used to!
Running itself is a reward these days since I rarely find the time to do it!
Good luck on your talk!!
The Running Schlub
Cant beat a good road trip and hotels are always a fantastic getaway. Hope the speech goes well.
Will run for BEER!!!
Last road trip – can I say this weekend??? We are heading out of town tomorrow morning.
Reward after a run – please see second comment….oh ok…..beer!

Kristina @ Blog About Running
My reward after a long run is sitting my butt down for hours afterwards without feeling guilty :) Usually I watch something silly like old episodes of Gossip Girl or The Mindy Project, haha
Happy Friday, knock ’em dead at your speech!
Sarah @pickyrunner
Will run for pizza. And cupcakes. And ice cream. Or anything sugary, really. I just like to eat and I like to run. Good luck with your speech- I can’t imagine a better person for it :)
Linda @running4two
Ice cream and pizza! I hope it goes great today!
Wendy @ New Moms Talk
Will run for the feeling of being able to do it and the beauty that surrounds me.
Our last road trip was to the Quinault Rainforest. It’s worth the trip. We’re hoping to visit Kalaloch next.
Shari
The last road trip I took was to Washington DC for last year’s Cherry Blossom Festival … but my favorite was a two-week road trip down south. A friend and I went a few years ago and had such a great time! :)
crista
Will run for COFFEE! and swedish fish. and jelly beans….
Emma @ Culturecopia
The last road trip I took was Toronto to Montreal last August. I was alone though (meeting a friend there), so it wasn’t as fun! Happy Friday!
Lara
Will run for candy!!!
The last road trip I took was to DC, one of my favorite places! It was about 4 hours each way.
My reward after I run in the mornings is coffee and breakfast. Sometimes, when it’s really cold, I start to daydream about a hot cup of coffee mid-run.
Lauren
I also love staying in hotel rooms. Not sure what it is, but something about sleeping in a hotel bed makes me fall right to sleep.
Hope you had a fun trip!
Elle
Will run for a nap!
My last roadtrip was to my little brothers college graduation. So proud!
Christine
Will run for dessert! Last night after a long run I hobbled over to the fridge and made myself a gigantic brownie sundae. It was great haha. Last road trip I took was to Williamsburg for the weekend. Good luck on your speech!
Nicole @ Fluffygirlrunningthoughts
Will run for chocolate milk, cheese, or beer! (Can you tell I’m originally from WI? LOL)
Last road trip I took was the weekend after Christmas. We drove from Virginia to Kentucky to meet up with my parents since we couldn’t make it all the way home for the holidays. We had a great time exploring horse/bourbon country!
My reward after I run is chocolate milk.
Have a great time today at the retreat!
Nicole @Pink Elephant on Parade
will run for cable.
reward for running: cable.
CABLE.
Chelsea @ A Fit LittleOne
I’ve never taken a road trip before!! They always sound like so much fun to me! Reward for running: sitting on the floor, I would lay, but animal hair will stick to me….”will run for: Whole Foods Salad!” If I could get one of those after every run, I would probably start running every day haha
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats
How fun! Good luck speaking, I’m sure you’ll be great!
Meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles
Will run for the endorphins which put me in a good mood which helps everyone who must interact with me..That and chocolate fudge cake.
Kelly in Canada
I’m going on a road trip tomorrow! Taking my boyfriend to Whistler.
I’ve had a rough couple of months running-wise and am trying to find my motivation again. It’s hard when it’s freeeeeeeezing outside though!
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries
Will run for ice cream is definitely one of my tops, next to chocolate, and donuts, or pretty much any dessert for that matter.
How fun you get to speak! What are you specifically speaking about? Good luck! xo
Jackie
Enjoy the quick trip!!!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
Definitely something awesome about staying in hotels… and I think part of it has to do with the fact that you don’t have to worry about cleaning up lol. The last road trip I went on was when I went to BC (from Alberta) in the fall of last year. It was basically non-stop driving for 5 days, but I loved it. I actually prefer driving to flying… mostly because there’s too much waiting and sitting in the same place with flying, whereas things are always changing on a road trip.
Melissa
Staying in hotels is totally the best. Good luck at your speaking engagement! I would love to hear you talk :)
So, I have to tell you about my new favoritest thing since you were Tiger Tailing yesterday–it’s called the Roll Recovery and it is the world’s greatest torture device for rolling out tight muscles. It really “gets in there” for the parts where it’s hard to get enough pressure with the foam roller or the tiger tail/stick. Highly recommend it–it has magical powers!!! http://www.rollrecovery.com/ (and no, I don’t work for them ;)
Victoria
Road trips are fun! I always feel so cool staying in hotels. Like I don’t have to make my bed or wash the towels I am using. I hope speaking goes well for you!
I drove from Phoenix, AZ to Durango, CO not too long ago. That was a really long drive :p
Mary@RunWalkLift
I thought they should give out “will run for pie” shirts at the turkey trot.
Our last road trip was a drive to SLC in the middle of the night. We hit tire in the road on the way down. Stayed in a yucky hotel, but I got to see my niece and my husband got to go fake skydiving. The pit stops were the best.
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun
FROZEN YOGURT!!
Oh, btw I’m sure you knew this but yesterday was National Frozen Yogurt Day – the best day of the year! We went to Menchie’s too and got our first 6 oz FREE! :) You can’t get much better than that!
Marissa @ Run Riss Run
Will Run For froyo/beer!!!!
Last road trip was to the beach 2 weekends ago with the fam.
Best reward after a run = hot tub bath!!
Good luck today!
Beth @ Running with the Sunrise
Naps are one of my favorite things to do after a run, especially after a long run. Your fro yo looks delicious and makes me want to rush over to my favorite fro yo place and get some. (Too bad they’re not open at 8 AM.) The last road trip I took was to go home to visit my family for Thanksgiving. Have a fantastic Friday!
Flower
Will run for Chocolate, any and all chocolate please.
Natalie @ Free Range Human
ICE CREAM! I’ve got a bit of addiction :)
Amber C
Will run for Chocolate Milk! Best post run treat. The fact that it’s actually good for you is a bonus!
I always reward myself after a race with a cheeseburger and fries. It was my first post 5k meal and has become an unspoken tradition for me ever since:)
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff
Apple pie a la mode! Fresh baked chocolate chip cookies! French fries! That’s what I run for and reward myself with :)
I took a 6 hour road trip with my dog up to the adirondacks to spend a few days with my friend and her family last summer. Hoping my jeep holds up this year to do another trip. I love road trips. Especially with my pup as my copilot.
Betsy
Good luck on your speech! Is it sad that one of the things I look most forward to at hotels is the cable? It’s the little things in life..

Will run for SANITY!
Good luck on your speech today…praying for you! What will you be speaking on???

Liz @ Carpe Diem and Run
Will run for … Starbucks (or froyo!)
Megan D
Did you print off a coupon for a free 6oz of fro you when you went to menchies yesterday? I was totally planning on taking my kids….and then I didn’t. So I gave them cookies instead and they were just as happy ;)
Good luck speaking today. I know you will do awesome. And drive safely back. I am so glad I will be down there soon. I am aching to run in warm-ish weather and then immediately eat at Bear Paw right after. It is my favorite St George tradition.
I run for…food. All food. Desserts. Fruits and veggies. Mexican. Indian. BBQ. Fatty fat carbzzzzz. I am not prejudice against any of it. I love it all!
My last road trip was to Disneyland and Sea World with the family. It was such a fun trip.
Laura

It’s been awhile since we had a road trip, but we’re planning one this summer to disneyland!!
Favorite thing to do after a run is take a nice hot shower.
Can’t wait to hear about your talk.
Marilyn
Good luck with your talk today!
Kristen
Our last road trip was to Santa’s Village the weekend before Christmas. We go every year. It’s an amusement park in the White Mountains that stays open during the holiday season. Riding a roller coaster in the snow = crazy cold fun!

My reward after a long run is usually banana nesquik – and some laying on the floor. :)
Ben @morerunlesseat
My reward after a run is normally pizza. Especially at the weekends!
Enjoy the weekend!
Tracie
The problem with the “will run for _____” is that it reinforces the idea that running is punishment for eating delicious foods, not that a) running is good because it healthy bodies are important and it makes you feel good or b) eating foods you like because you like them is normal and emotionally healthy and you don’t have to exercise off every “bad” calorie. Just something to think about when around young and/or impressionable people (especially girls!).
Erica
Will run for the best version of myself it makes me. That endorphin thing is something else. I love love love it.
Lindsey
Can I say “Will run for massage and pedicure”? I really really need to be pampered. If not i’ll run for wine and nachos. Love road trips but as long as they’re not longer than 3 hours, I get ansty.
Have a great weekend Janae.
Lisa @ Running out of Wine
I’ll run for ice cream, peanut butter, and wine! My last road trip was to New York over the holidays to see some family. My favorite reward after running is a burger with fries!

Cyanne (RunStretchGo)
Will run for carbs. Carbs in many forms, although usually a vegan cupcake.

Man, my last ‘road trip’ was just me driving home from the airport. It was supposed to be a 3.5 hr drive but it was raining so much and dark out that it took me 5 hours. Not fun.
This week I told myself if I do all my scheduled workouts I get ice cream on friday
Loribeth
My last road trip was to Nashville! And I love lemon bars watching Psych as a great post run treat!
Heather@girlgoesrunning
I totally get it. My husband and I love to stay at hotels, and I think it’s because we don’t have cable either. I definitely make up for it on our stay by watching as much of it while laying in bed as I can! :D
A ginormous coffee is my post-run reward!
Losing Lindy
V needs that shirt! Where did you get it??
I don’t have cable either, we love our Netflix though.
