How do I run while I’m on the road? This is a thought that has been bothering me for days now. I have been keeping up a schedule of running every other day (more or less), and I hate, hate, hate the thought of giving it up for a week just because I’ve been separated from Mr. G.
Option #1 is to hope and pray each hotel has it’s own G wheel for me to spin on. That would be bonus because lifting and all that other stuff will be much easier, too.
Option #2 is to get to know the neighbors while I hit their streets. I know Kisa’s not thrilled about that. How many wives have gone missing while just “out for a run”??? Okay, okay – all those wives were in their own neighborhoods, happened to be pregnant and ended up getting killed by their own husbands. I don’t fit into that scenario except for the fact anything can happen to anyone.
Option 3# is to find a running group and team up with them. Nope. I’m stubborn. I am a slow runner, plus I like the idea of doing everything by myself. No one helped me begin this journey so why change the plan now? Besides, we won’t be in one area long enough for me to “hook up” per se.
Option #4 is to scope out parks relatively close to every place we stay and opt for a quiet, no sweat 30 minute “thing.” This seems appealing because I have to admit, as I told Serious, I heard my knee talking to me after 3.8 miles last night. Not a good sign.
So what to do? What to do?
Maybe…and this isn’t an option I have considered for too long…I need a week off. My suitcase would be lighter and my schedule more open. Je ne sais pas.

Another option … often the local highschools and colleges will have an outdoor track. Kisa can sit and read or listen to an iPod while you go run in circles for a bit. Just a thought …
If all else fails you can take nice walks with Kisa and explore new places! We used to do this often wherever we stayed. In La Jolla the University grounds were amazing! Balboa Park in S.D. is rated top in safety.In Vegas you would probably blend right in with others running for slot machines 😉
In Vegas things are so huge and the casinos are so enormous that you end up doing a lot of walking to get around and see everything. If you skip the “people movers” and walk up as many stairs as you can find then you will probably be fine.
Thanks you guys! I had a flashback to an episode of that weight loss show…they had an escalator challenge that looked awesome. Maybe I should try that! 😉
have fun and be safe whatever you decide to do!
S~ awww thanks! When I get back let’s get you trained for that marathon!
take it slow-build plenty of walking into your schedule. you’ll get exercise still, and you’ll be active, but you won’t have to worry about where/how/how much to run.
YEAH!!
Manda! I have a few dates for Rebecca shows in mind. I’ll email you!
