This weekend I am heading north to Edmonton to see some family and attend a 1 year Halloween birthday party for some good friends of ours. I was speaking with another friend of mine today and of course we were talking about running. He said he found it very difficult to train when he traveled just because it was difficult to schedule it in. Things always seem to come up that derail the best laid plans.
Of course, this got me all worked up and the addictive compulsive in me has been mapping out exactly when I am going to get my runs in. I am slated to run on both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday will be a bit shorter at about 5-K and Sunday will be longer at 10-K. My plan is to run first thing each morning, before the kids wake up. Nothing is scheduled at this time and I should have no problem ’squeezing’ my runs in. We’ll see - I will let you know how it works out.

Have a great weekend and goodluck getting in those weekend runs. Travelling can sometimes put a damper on planned runs. But where there’s a will, you will find a way. I once had my hubby drop me off 10km before the hotel. He drove the rest of the way back and relaxed while I ran back to the room. I got some strange looks from the desk clerk…lol.
So, how did you do? I hope you were able to enjoy some new scenery.
While I’m here, how’s your 1/2 M clinic going? Would the training plan be friendly to doing a 10k race on Dec. 11? Dawn and I are going to race Catch the Elves and wonder if you’ll be there.
One thing I do is when i’m on the road for business I use www.mapmyrun.com to see what (if any) fun runs are mapped out in the area. That way you can get excited about a particular route and that helps motivate me!
hope this is helpful…
