Like many who are drawn to endurance sports, I tend to be just the slightest bit OCD about my workouts and other things like my meal and bed times. (Okay, Dave, you can stop laughing knowingly.) This can be a challenge in every-day-life and especially when traveling.
This weekend we are going to Plymouth, MA, for a Brannan/Branigan family reunion. Thus I have to figure out how I'm going to squeeze in 30+ miles of running while we visit with folks I haven't seen in ages. I am choosing to look at this as an opportunity to be creative and resourceful, especially since Plymouth has beautiful waterfront views but no trails.
Here is my plan: instead of doing a medium-long run on Saturday and a long long run on Sunday, I am going to do my long long run tomorrow morning before we leave and shuffle everything around that. I think it'll work out.
My next challenge is deciding whether to bring food, go to the grocery store while we're there, or rely on what's provided for me. Because, you know, I get pretty cranky if I don't have my pre-run PB&J, post-run cereal, and specific fruit and veg snacks throughout the day.
I'm going to stop because now I sound like a crazy person even to myself.

I'm having a hard time finding a chunk of the day here at home to run... being off on holiday is an unknown concept to me. Have fun :-)!!!
