This last week was a working vacation in more ways than one. I worked from our condo in Victoria B.C. And I ran every day as I’m training for the Boulder Marathon on Sept 29th.
The first photo above is me running along the Dallas Road Waterfront, and this pic immediately above is my view of it, and the Straight of Juan de Fuca, as I descend down Beacon Hill onto the coastal path.
I’ve been running further down Dallas Street than on previous visits to Victoria, giving myself a good 5 mile run. I’ve kept my pace at or under 10 minutes per mile, but the important thing is I’ve been running every day after work. This trip hasn’t interrupted my training regimen. I’ve even gotten in some strength training in my condo hotel’s gym. I’ll see if I can keep this travel fitness routine going next week as I’ll leave here Sunday for one night in Seattle, then off to STL Monday for a work trip. Hoping I can keep at it.
