Week in Review 3/16 -3/22

(please try to sing California Dreaming-by the Mamas and Papas not Tupac's version ---as you read this)


With a morning flight to Southern California on Tuesday, and much to do on Monday, I was able to squeeze out a 4 mile run amidst the confusion.

Now the plan was to try and get at least a 4 mile run or an hour in the hotel fitness center. Tuesday did not disappoint. After arriving to some great weather, checking in and catching up, I made my way to the fitness center. And what a place it was!!

• Cold ice water
• fresh fruit
• great machines
• TVs at all stations
• fresh towels
• ventilated and cool temps

I could have not asked for anything better and I jumped into giving thanks to the Hotel Fitness Gods!

I went for a 5.75 mile run on the treadmill, then jumped on the stationary bike for another 10 miles (about 40 minutes) and then finished off with 10 minutes on the stair climber. I wanted to go about 15-20 minutes on the elliptical, but that was being used. The Gods will always try and keep you humble. So after my 1st Annual Marriott Fitness Center Duathalon, I feel I will have to do this event at least once a year. LOL

Wednesday, was 4 miles on the treadmill, which was followed by 4.25 on both Thursday and Friday.

After the red eye back on Saturday morning,I decided to just chill and get a nap, so I would leave my running till Sunday.

After catching up with my good old friend Sleep, I decided to leave my run for the afternoon.

By Sunday afternoon the wind had picked up, and I knew adding wind and hills would not be good, so I decided on the "Jersey Devil 8". A simple 8 mile out and back along Rt 9 between Little Egg and Bass River. I decided I didn't care how fast a pace, I wanted to keep my heart rate down and so I did. The run felt great, I had Pheddipidations to listen to and Steve (Runner) kept me company. He is a great running partner, he does all the talking. How does he never get tired???
