Motivation on Vacation


This week I'm on a much needed vacation but it falls in the middle of training for my next half-marathon. So how do you keep motivated?

Some basic things you can do to keep on track are:

-Make a schedule prior to going on vacation(keep it realistic)
-Map routes for running (you might want to drive it so you don't get stuck 1/2 way)
-Pick hotels with work out facilities
-Search for gyms or pools before the vacation
-Keep things simple (you don't want to over exert yourself, this is VACATION)
-Be flexible (I can't stress this enough)

Because you are on vacation the running route will be new and should be motivating in itself. Checking out the sites on my morning run is the best part of the run. You might even go a little farther because you are watching the waves (in my case)!
