everyone says that it is best to get a training or a workout buddy... i have never been one for that because i am typically not as athletic as the next person and dont really rise to the challenge of someone doing better than me (at least in athletics) so i typically fall back... i do much better when i push myself - and maybe i dont push myself as much as i could - but i do an OK job with it...
however i have consistently done a number of these races with one of my friends
we do OK training together but it is never as intense or as frequent as we anticipate when we first sign up for a race... sadly i do have a bit more flexibility with my training when i am home - no other family members to cart around to sporting events etc... but also i do travel alot so that flexibility isnt as great when sitting in a hotel room night after night...
so i am pretty intent on getting in lots of training this weekend and next...
the following week i will have access to a hotel gym treadmill and a pool - so that may not be sooo bad...
later in the month - i will have access to a rental car and hopefully satellite radio as i spend my free time on long drives through a state from one location to another... there will be little training on that jaunt!
right now i am waiting for the sun to come up a wee bit more to determine if it will be a road ride today or a gym ride.. it was raining when i first let the dog out but thinking it could have been the last of the rain drops..
