This week, I am in Indianapolis on business. The frigid arctic air that we had a week ago in Colorado is still lingering here in the Midwest. When I left Denver this morning, it was about +5c (40F), and three hours later, wheels-down in Indy we emerged from the plane to snow and about -10c (25F). That means that my training will be pretty much confined to the gym in the hotel. Luckily for me, the hotel we are staying at in Carmel, IN has a lot of equipment to choose from (treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, weights, etc). The biggest problem during business travel is the eating. It is very easy fall into bad habits, particularly when lunch is brought in, which is typically high carb high calorie fare (deli sandwiches, pizza, etc). Couple that with eating dinner out every night, and it is easy to gain a few pounds during a week on the road. Not good! So my challenge this week will not be to find time to workout but to keep the eating under some semblance of control.
Training update: After sitting on my arse for most of the day at the airport and on the flight over here, I did a solid 5 Mile run on the hotel treadmill. Approx. 44:30. 900 Calories burned. Playlist: Best of David Bowie.
Tomorrow is my "off" day, but since I will be pretty sedentary for most of the week (with no opportunity for a power walk at lunch), I will see if I can do at least a 30 minute workout on the elliptical cross-trainer.
