  • Breakdown

    See previous post for context.

    May - half marathon with sister for her birthday - friends birthday
    2 days = $374 flight
    3 days = $338 flight
    Difference: $36

    July - Oregon to visit both sisters
    6 days = $231 OAK / $257 SFO
    5 days = $231 OAK / $297 SFO

    Changes to vacation plan:
    2-3 days in May (3 days = $36 less for flight) for half marathon in Indiana with my sister, which coincides with her birthday along with my friend's, EJ's birthday.
    2 days in July to spend with friend, EJ, who will be visiting in SF - whoo hoo motorcycle riding!
    5 days in July (6 days = less $ for flight from SFO) for visiting sister in Oregon which I promised oregon sister that I'd do this year (Indiana sister will also be visiting oregon sister at the same time).

    Vacation allocation: 9.78 days (may be able to fudge or "go negative" the extra hours to make it a full 10 days)

    My boss is finding out if I can go 'negative' with vacation, and he also proposed working remotely one day, which I could do in oregon if needed.

    So it looks like I can go to run a half marathon with my sister in May!

    Now, should I run 11 miles and walk 2.1 miles of a half marathon on March 24th? =) or leave my 'first' half marathon to be the one I run with my sister?

  • Running vs walking is irrelevant. To travel, in a race, 13.1 miles, is to have completed a half-marathon. Runners who are forced to walk still did a half...!
