Oops!! <br /><br />I think it is great to have a work out break on vacation. People usually understand if I am training for a formal event. <br /><br />Good luck to hubby with the training!

I think it is great to have a work out break on vacation. People usually understand if I am training for a formal event.

Good luck to hubby with the training!

I have experienced this as well!<br /><br />Hope you are having a fantastic trip, Beth! Enjoy!

Sometimes it is hard to do, and sometimes well meaning friends will exert some pressure. But, it is okay for you to do this.<br /><br />I say this to you, because I'm trying to convince/remind myself that it okay to do this too. I'm supposed to go on a golf weekend with a bunch of friends (non runners) and I have to get a very long run in while I'm there. <br /><br />I'm glad you posted what you did to help remind me that it is okay to be out there running while others may be sleeping in, drinking mojitos or eating chips. you are absolutely right that it is okay to do stuff for yourself while on vacation with others… Sometimes it is hard to do, and sometimes well meaning friends will exert some pressure.

You're already taking time to visit these people. (The way I worded that makes it sound a lot more chore/burden-like that I actually mean, but you get the idea.) Usually when I feel bad training is when people are in town visiting me. Definitely don't feel bad about training while you're there. You're already taking time to visit these people.

Don't feel guilty, feel good about getting the workout in. I do the same thing, get out early in the morning so as not to disrupt the rest of the day.

I think you did a great job convincing yourself to have a workout. I know when I workout, it is better for those around me so I do it so they are happier...

I always have great intentions, but rarely get in more than a run or two (usually with the person I'm visiting).

And that's the big thing – being active and living a healthy lifestyle -even on vacation- is something we could all use to see more of.

Happy packing!
