So, it's Saturday and we all know what that means – LONG RUN Day! Yes, it is my favorite day of the week; well, sometimes it is. Due to my work travel schedule this week, my training took a bit of a detour. Yesterday I was scheduled for a 45 minute run but I spent the majority of the day in airports and airplanes, heading home from Southern California. I wonder if airlines will ever offer fitness center options on cross country jaunts - wouldn't that be sweet?
My actual objective for today's run was to log 2 hours. Before I retired to bed last night, I committed to running outside, despite the warm and humid weather conditions. I was running on the treadmill in hotel fitness centers during the week and I really needed to experience the outdoors. And, instead of hitting the Route 202 trail that I've been frequenting, I decided to take to the roads. And, I managed 12.25 miles despite the conditions and the hills in the area where I live. I love the feeling of starting my run right at the end of my driveway, without having to drive to my running course or gym. And, I know that at the end of the run – I will be home!
I still need to run 45 minutes to meet my training schedule objectives this week so my plan right now is to do an easy run at the fitness center tomorrow. Sunday is supposed to be one of my REST Days so I will keep that in mind so I don't overdo it.
Happy and Safe Running Folks!
John
