Training in Missouri

This week I have been on vacation with my family in Missouri. We have been staying with my Aunt Donna and Uncle Bob and having a wonderful time. I wish training included riding a Sea-Doo for most of the day.

Anyway, I wish I could say I was more disciplined while I was away. But I did go out and ran/walked. I had to come up with a different strategy in Missouri though. I know you might think that Texas has hills... or not. However, Missouri has real hills, steep and rolling! So my strategy there became to walk up the hills and run down. It was actually pretty effective and I was even able to get halfway up a few with the momentum I created.

The other main difference was the heat. I think the highest it got in Missouri was 94 degrees. And when I was out there training, it was only about 80 degrees. Still humid, but so much cooler. I will be back in Texas on Saturday and ready for that 6 AM run in the 92 degree heat and humidity. Home Sweat Home! - I mean Sweet.
