Juggling

This week has been light on running time. Being away at a client site it is difficult to juggle time to allow sufficient opportunity to running. Long hours and a lack of local knowledge on places to go always deaden my motivation to a point where I’ll head out the door more because I ‘feel’ I should go, rather than a desire to run. I know that once back in familiar surroundings, I’ll quickly get back into a more active routine. The timing of this trip is unfortunate in the build up to Western States, but work is work and I don’t get much say in when contracts will be won. It has been interesting to have the chance to see a small part of Montana and I’d definately like to return and explore more, but I am looking forward to returning to CT and focus once more on a more regular routine.

    I’ll second that! After traveling weekly for about the past 10 years, I find it extremely important to immediately establish a routine. Typically, the hardest part is finding an appropriate place that is convenient to your work or hotel. I typically consult local running stores, as the hotel will often say: “there is a nice loop outside” which usually takes about 15 minutes to walk. I’ve also found http://www.runtheplanet.com very useful, and some mountain biking sites useful as well. Invariably, someone has been in your place (geographically) before, and has found a trail, and made record of it!

    It’s also especially rewarding to find a ‘gem’ and report back to your friends with pictures!
