What happens to your training when life gets in the way? In my case, it wasn't life, but rather an escape from life - a week-long vacation - that got in the way. Spending a week on the beach with your family is a great time, but it's not a good way to get your workouts in unless you're really disciplined. I went from commuting to work by bike (20 hilly miles each way) and lunchtime runs to lunchtime cookies and late-night Doritos.
In years past I have brought my bike, but I left it at home this year. I did bring my running shoes and goggles, expecting to get in a daily open-ocean swim and a decent run. I did none of that.
Training totals for last week:
- 4 miles walking on the beach carrying a 30 pound kid on my back
- 1 hour of tennis
- 1 hour of bodyboarding
Too much food and way too much junk food + no real workouts = 7 pounds gained in 7 days. Sweet.
Can you blame me?
