I have posted before about the value of taking a break, yes even from exercise. Today I am returning from my respite visit to my roots in Iowa. My sister and I spent a few days at an old schoolhouse turned bed and breakfast a few miles out of the town where we were raised. We crashed a class reunion, visited with old friends and talked until we were hoarse. Then we promised each other that we would return next year for another round. It was wonderful to rejuvenate and reconnect with those who knew us through our adolescent years!

I have connecting flights in Minneapolis again at opposite terminals and less than an hour to cover a very long walk. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I make my connection. No doubt I will get my exercise in today after all.

Update: First flight delayed. Missed connection. Walked miles to gate. Next flight home 6 hours later. No free Wifi. My advice: avoid Minneapolis! Oh….but I got my exercise and a voucher for a free drink.
