I haven’t been running long enough to figure this out.  I think I got the vacation and running thing figured out.  But work is different.

It’s not flexible.  You can’t control the time that you have to work and the time that you can run.

You can’t control the place.  Does the hotel have a gym?  Is there a place to run outdoors or is it dangerous to run in the streets downtown.

The last time I went on a work conference was 2 years ago.  I looked back on my blog and read that I didn’t run AT ALL!!  I was in Boulder, CO and I remember it being so scenic but then again 2 years I was a different runner.  I would skip my runs and then run a 5K anyway.

So today I am leaving  for Milwaukee.

I mentioned that there is a 5k at 7 pm tonight.  It looks doubtful because I don’t arrive early enough and it is not close to the hotel.  And then there is my heel problem!  And the weather doesn’t look promising either:

Conference schedule:

Wed  3-7 pm (pizza & drinks)

Thurs

• 8- 9 am – breakfast (get up early & use treadmill?)
• 9-11:30 am – sessions
• 11:30 -1 – lunch (bring sneakers to go for a walk?)
• 1-5 pm – sessions
• 5-8 pm – dinner (bring sneakers to go for a walk)

Fri

• 8- 9 am – breakfast (get up early & use treadmill?)
• 9-11:30 am – sessions
• 11:30 -1 – lunch (bring sneakers to go for a walk?)
• 1-5 pm – sessions
• after 5pm – dinner on one’s own or baseball game or beer tour (treadmill or run????)

Sat

• 8-9 am – breakfast (get up early & use treadmill?)
• 9-10 am – session
• leave to catch my flight home

Well, if I don’t run at all, maybe the time off will heal my heel!

Happy Running!
