What ever it takes!

Jetlag is kickin' my butt this trip, I attribute it to the fact that I haven't been able to get on a good workout schedule due to the un-runnability of this city and the late hours the hotel gyms open so I was very much looking forward to a treadmill run this morning more than ever before.  16.1 KM progressive run in 1:11:42.  Nothing real impressive but it felt good to finally get moving normal again.  

Yesterday was a very busy work day, now the conference is going it should be easy the rest of the week then I can come home and enjoy the Christmas season.  I do like Prague this time of year but I forgot how homesick I got last year. 

4:30 average pace today, hey who am I to argue with what the treadmill said.

16.1 KM in 1:11:30, 10 seconds faster than yesterday, it seemed much harder.  I am very ready to go home, just about the time I get on the correct time zone I'll fly home and be all messed up again. 

Something is up with these treadmills, I have a difficult time doing the kilo - mile conversion in my head, but I have run on enough treadmills to know that was much harder than 7:00 average pace.  I'm putting down 3.5 marathon paced miles cause it felt like I was about to die.

13.5 km in 1:00:00 

It's good I'm leaving soon cause I can no longer continue my relationship with this hotel treadmill.  I insist it lies to me, and it refuses to speak to me in English.

16.1 kilometers (10 miles) in 1:09:30, according to the lieing treadmill.  There is no way that was 6:56 min/mile pace.

I've been sitting next to my English counterpart from Liverpool all week, The language barrier is far to great.  I can sit and listen to him talk all day and realize I don't understand 1/2 of what he just said.  Cisco Rooters, Zed instead of Z, Biskets and Pudding.

It's time for me to go home.

Ran 2 miles back from dinner to the hotel late last night,  I decided it would be much quicker to run than wait for a cab.  I was right.

I was out late at a celebratory dinner so this morning I just didn't feel motivated to run.  So I ellipticaled for 30 minutes, lifted weights for 30 minutes and came to work for all day.

I wont run for 3 days now since I'll be sitting on Airplanes for a lot of that time.
