I've been playing hooky

Elizabeth Templin McCamic

I must confess that I have been playing hooky from running the past few days.

I did a good job of getting in my runs last week, but then I went out of town over the weekend and missed my long run.

I had thought I'd squeeze it in Monday evening, but I was tired from traveling and still trying to get back into the swing of things. I'm hoping just one more day off won't hurt my progress too much.

How do you plan for times when you're out of your normal routine?

It was nice to take a short break, but I'm glad to get back to it tonight.
