Running: It's actually more expensive than therapy

In running and life in general, one must be adaptive. Going into this week, I had hopes of running around 45 miles while increasing my comfortable pace on the treadmill. I was also particularly excited for fall race season to kick off last weekend. Well, none of those things happened because Hurricane Irma had other plans.
With the gym closed for almost a week, I had to get creative in my workouts. I was lucky enough to be able to run every day both before and after the hurricane. One exercise included a two mile run around my neighborhood, and the rest were all at the park. I did some long runs and some moderate ones but lacked the speed work. I was finally able to go to the gym yesterday, and I'm not where I'd like to be for my upcoming race on Saturday, but I believe I could get there with a few good speed sessions. Overall I am fortunate only to have been affected in this small way by the hurricane. Life happens, and things get in the way of workout goals. It's important to remember to stay focused and adapt to change.
