Half Marathon Training Week 2

Started the week by flying across the province to land in Fort Frances for business.  I was lucky enough to have someone show around town a bit and show me where people tend to go for runs.  I am determined to keep running despite being on the road.

Monday, August 27, 2012 - this should have been a rest day, but I wanted to run.  Big mistake, I was exhausted and could tell within the first few minutes of starting my run.  I made it about 2 miles or 3.72 km to be exact.  The scenery was beautiful.

Tuesday, August 28, 2012 - Rest

Wednesday, August 29, 2012 - I had hoped to run but found it far too hot outside and was still feeling quite tired, I never sleep well in hotels.  I did some cross training instead, some core work and strength work.

Thursday, August 30, 2012 - I flew home today, and had a rather turbulent flight, got home nauseated and around the time it got dark.  Rest day.

Friday, August 31, 2012 - 5 mile (8.13 km) run.  I moved my weekend run to this day as we were heading out to a cottage and I knew I would not be finding the motivation to go out running when I could be relaxing.  This run went well and was done at a faster pace than my long run last week.  Duct tape solution is still working.

All in all I seemed to have salvaged the week with my long run, travelling for work really isn't great when trying to train, I will have to find better ways to fit my runs in when on the road.
