He got another taste of 12 hours door to door

He got another taste of 12 hours door to door yesterday as we left our Orlando home at 7am and unlocked our Disney’s Grand Californian Resort room door at 7pm (EST).

Casually, as we rode the Disneyland Express motor coach, i painted the picture of how it is for professional speakers and the glamour of traveling for a living:

After a 12-hour travel day, you still need to get dinner and do an AV check before going to bed.

So where does exercise fall into the agenda?

Plan your rest (inactive) days to coincide with travel days. Or, simply take an extra rest day that week.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Depends what your goal is. It also depends on your brand. Depends on the situation. This post is about exercising while traveling Internationally to cold climates.

An hour-long five-miler, 46 degrees, 7am, windchill at places. Will take 12-minute miles over no run. Will take five miles (normally nothing less than eight) over none.

Have been thinking about how to pull this off this morning, knowing that i need to be out the door at 7:45am for Orlando International airport.

Bags packed last night? Check.

All other logistics taken care of last night? Check.

Ok. Time for a run. Check.

Six freezing miles

Six freezing miles.

Four upper (chest) body layers.

Two lower (shorts) body layers.

Gloves and a hat.

Keep the vital (heart, lungs) organs warm and sensitive extremities (head, hands) covered, and you don’t need sweat pants.

What’s crazier, running in freezing weather in shorts, or not exercising as we age?

Missed yesterday’s run and gym visit. Up at 4am to catch an early flight to Allentown.

Will i run this morning, a Saturday, in 30-degree weather or opt for the comfort of the warm and cozy 92-year old’s apartment?
