I'd offer an excuse for my absence here, but it really doesn't matter - I just didn't feel like I had anything to write about.
I've spent the last couple of weeks running, working, seeing movies (both the Kid-Bitten-by-a-Spider variety and the Talking-Teddy Bear-with-a-Bong variety.) and for the last week, have been doing the Family Vacation thing - we've kept it fairly low-key, and didn't bother venturing off Vancouver Island at all.
For the post title to make any sense, I had to explain about being on Holidays. For those of you who remeber my trip to Vegas in May, you'll recall my Wife has a rule when we are on Vacation: it's a vacation from running as well.
I know - crazy, right?
Since she knows I'm not going to take the whole week off running, we just settle for me not running when we are out of town. That meant our 3 day visit to Victoria put a serious cramp in my weekly mileage. To get back on track I decided to drop my shorter runs this week and just focus on the long runs and steady pace runs.
In a juggling match of epic proportions, I ran my Tuesday 7 mile run on Wednesday, my missed 9 mile Sunday Long Run on Thursday, and my Friday 7 miler was actually run on..well, Friday.
That's 23 miles in 3 days.
Did I mention there was a day at the lake and a minigolf-bumper boats-beach day in there was well? I've spent more time on my feet on my holidays than if I was at work.
And I actually feel pretty good.
I have a light 4 mile run tomorrow, (completely optional) and then an 18 mile Long Run on Sunday.
After that, my holidays are over and I'm back to my sweet routine of running, work, and life.
...oh yeah, I'm going to try to include blogging in there too.
Later.
*Did I mention it's only 73 days until my marathon? Any guesses as to how bad I'm freaking out?
I feel like we're leading slightly parallel lives. I've had so much to say, and no time to say it lately. We did a short vacation last week and are looking forward to another (slightly) longer one next week. But so much work before and after the vacation!
ReplyDelete73 days out? and you're hitting 18? YOu're fine. Just. Fine!
