Impromptu runs are fun for sure, and I’ve been fortunate to enjoy my share. However, one of Shannan’s lasting and most profound influences on me has been the heightened level of enjoyment of an event where I came well prepared. Today we head off to explore the tiny independent nation of Monaco. We’ll disembark for a short walk together before I spin off for a short run (I have completed my Insanity program for the day already). To make the best of this experience I used what I’ve learned over the years about proper preparation.
In the past I just took off running, only to find myself a sweaty mess later. I don’t mind that so much, but it’s not so cool if there’s a bus or tender boat ride back to the ship. Water, towel, and an extra shirt have become necessities. I add to that an mp3 player and a camera and pack it all in my rucksack. So I’m as prepared as a Boy Scout. Shannan is proud and I’m looking forward to a great run.
More to follow.
