I have not really had the time to breathe in the last 2 weeks. My role in a German startup company has taken a lot of my energy and left me with hardly enough time to do my workouts. On top of that I had to fight the sniffles again, but got lucky for once. After a couple of days in cold, snowy Munich I was able to shake it and do a few easy zone 1&2 runs as "prescribed". The Olympic pool in Munich is a fantastic swimming venue with 50 meter lanes, mostly filled with serious swimmers. Because days are very long in the office, my buddy in crime Michal and I typically start swimming at 9.30PM which is great - hardly any people left in the pool.
Although I was not able to do all the workouts and not exactly on the days planned, I am quite happy with what I have been able to accomplish on this very stressful business trip.
I did a solid workout with 6x1K repeats at 5K race pace on icy snow! I am very happy with the session although I felt a little sluggish due to too much greasy, heavy Bavarian food over the last days. The next 2 days will have to be rest days because of meetings on Thursday outside of Munich.... somewhere in the countryside. Friday is a travel day but I am determined to get high quality workouts in while at my parents' place. With a little over one week to go for my first race of the season - Vancouver First Half Marathon - I feel solid given my current work schedule and time constraints. I won't be running a PB but I will lay down a solid foundation for a great season!
