This weekend we’ll be off to HK for a dual celebration –
Charlie’s 4th birthday and mother’s day; actually it’s also my wife’s
company outing all into one. We’re all
packed and ready to go as of last night.
My luggage consist the 3-day wardrobe that I’ll be using. Hidden somewhere is a set of running gear as
well. Its our first time in HK, and I
have really no idea if I can be able to do a run there. While the weekend trip is focused on Disney Land
Its really hard to train for a longer distance race. While the drive to run is there, it’s the schedule
that gets in the way. Don’t get me
wrong, my priority is really family time. Its just that I want to strike while
the iron is hot. This is gonna be the
first weekend (that I’m not injured) that I won’t be able to run – and its when
its in the crucial period.
Maybe I can find a good location to squeeze in a few
kilometers in HK. Heck I'll even take on a threadmill inside a gym! As always I’ll do it
in the morning when everyone’s asleep and I won’t skip anything (bottled water costs too much in HK as I heard, hopefully Gatorade won’t be).
The good thing in running is that I can always do it the
next time. I’m sure with the drive to do it and a few
short weekday runs when I get back and good hydration I can be able to wing the
next long run. After all the 18k I did
last weekend was supposed to be a 10-miler. I just had it in me that day to run a couple more.
If I was able to run in HK, I’ll definitely write about it. I’m still hoping that I could.
