Running in Hotels, Between Theme Parks

A friend of mine said the following ... 
"Here is what they don't put in the brochure.....
You have to want it. This is your thing, embrace it. Own it.
Dinner's not ready, tough titty, I have to train.
You need a ride to the movies with your friends, tough titty, I have to train.
Fill in the blank here bullshit, tough titty, I have to train.
Pick a time and that's it. When it is sh*!#y out, go train.
When you are really suffering envision yourself during the last K of your 5K feeling strong."
 As you can see, Rob doesn't mince words. Now I think I know what he means  -- you can't let DisneyWorld, vacation, Florida, snow, or whatever the excuse is -- get in your way. You've gotta run!

So, in Florida, I ran on the treadmill in two different hotels on two different days... yeah.. it wasn't beach running or street running (didn't think they'd appreciate me running through Disney's Main Street shouting "just 90 more seconds of running then a brisk walk!") but it was running and I am on schedule. (kinda...soprta)

I'm back in the game baby!

Week 3: 2 90 sec segments alternating running/walking + 2 4 min segments alternating.
