First on the road training complete. This week I traveled from Portland to NYC for business. My training schedule called for a rest day Tuesday, run on Wednesday and Thursday swim. As luck would have it, this fit quite nicely into my travel schedule!

Tuesday was an all day flight day - no work out rest day.

Wednesday was the challenge. The 3 hour time change is a kicker. We didn't land at Newark Intl until 6:30pm est. By the time we got to the city, checked in and had dinner it was 10pm. My body still thought it was 7pm so I proceeded to stay up an hour checking emails. I faithfully set my alarm for 2:30am pst (5:30am est) for my morning run... and did it! The attached picture is proof. I also ran a personal best that morning - 4 miles, 45 minutes, 11.25 minute mile pace.

I was/am dead tired right now on my flight from JFK home, but well worth it! Tonight is group swim. I land at 5pm and should have 2 hours to get to the PSU pool.

Go Team!
