This Week’s Topic: Racing & Vacations
This Week’s Question: Do you make vacations out of your races when they are far from home?
I have only participated in one race far from home. That was my first Half Marathon in Naples, Florida. I definitely made a vacation out of it. The race was on Sunday. I flew out after work on Friday and stayed until Tuesday evening. My hubby met me there and we did a lot of sightseeing, relaxing on the beach… It was fun!
If I do another, I would do the same.
Goals for this week:
Last week update:
My goal was 18 miles and I ran 19 miles.
This was Week #3 of my 2nd Half Marathon training. 9 weeks to go! (Although I haven’t registered yet.)
This week’s schedule:
Mon – work at Bar Exam
Tues – work at Bar Exam, tennis after
Wed – yoga
Thurs – see The Lion King musical
Fri – mah jongg
Sat – hair appt
This week’s running:
Mon – 3.5 miles after work
Wed– 3.5 miles before work
Thurs or Fri – 3 miles before work
Sat or Sun – 9 miles
Weekly Running Goal = 19 miles
February Monthly Running Goal = 60 miles, a race, hm training
Yearly Running Goal = 1011 miles


I love the idea of planning a vacation around the race. I never have, but I think it would be really fun to go to Disney for the Disney Princess Half Marathon one year. I hope I get a chance to do it some day!

When you live in the NE in the winter, you can’t beat Florida for a race.
