Just like Jennifer, I spent the last 10 days on vacation and the training took a back seat. While walking the streets of London and Dublin does count as exercise, I didn't get one single run in. We were staying right across the street from Kensington Park but the weather was windy and rainy every day. Excuses or just wanting a vacation?! I did climb the almost 500 steps to the top of St. Paul's.
I got back in town Sunday evening and hit the treadmill on Monday for an easy 30 minute run. I was back in the pool today and got out after 600m. I gave it the 15 minute rule and decided it wasn't going to happen. Since swimming is my weakness when I have a bad one it lingers in my training. With that said, I decided to get out and try again a different day. Such is life.
While I am sorry to hear about Jennifer's husband going overseas for a year remote just like my husband, I am now sure there is a reason we are all becoming better friends and training buddies. We have a year to plan and train for races and be each others motivation and reason for plugging along. With the support of each other we can make it to the end of a long year or the end of a long race!
PS- Can't wait to get the bikes of the trainers and outside!
