You Know You're Hooked When...

So I'm off to Canada until Monday night and I'm missing 1 long bike ride, 1 swim and 2 runs. Actually, that would be 2 swims because I'm supposed to do a 40 minute recovery swim on Sundays but I never do because of where I swim. Anyhooooo..... this morning I tacked another 30 minutes on to my ride (big whoop!) and I went to the pool and swam 1500 meters which is less than I should but I had decided just to let it go and enjoy my trip. I figured I could get in a run, anyhow. Maybe 2.

Then I started printing out the "stuff" for the trip - boarding pass and reservations for hotel and car. I took a look at the hotel ameneties and almost peed my pants with joy - FITNESS CENTER!!! LAP POOL!!! Seriously - my heart soared like an eagle. Now I'm going to check out 'Map my Run' and find a route in the area where I'm staying.

This is why when someone does their first triathlon I always think, and sometimes say - "Welcome to the crackhouse!".

Have fun in the great white north. I have missed the obsessiveness of getting in workouts. Thanks for the reminder.

That is awesome you have a pool and fitness center right at the hotel. My favorite part of business trips is picking out a new place to run. Have a great trip!

I love when traveling works out with my fitness goals. Have a great trip.

LOL
watch out for that word 'should', though.

That is so true and so funny!

i can't wait until you start sleeping with anyone for just one more entrance fee.

you need to publicize this hotel in the Triathlete Hotel Directory. It's a valuable resource.

There are worst things to be addicted to then health & vitality! :)

I'm 53 and among my many accomplishments I have raised 3 lovely young adults who like me and think I'm pretty hip. This blog chronicals my efforts to spend the second half of my life getting better instead of just getting older. Like Sister Madonna Buder, I am using triathlon as one of means to that end.
