Training while out Sailing

Well, I'm back from a 10 sailing trip with my husband and dog...and yes, I did manage to get in all my training while away.
On a sad note...one of the girls have already dropped out. That had made me think that I would rather do a 1/2 instead. Why?....it would be easier, I've done it many times before, I just ran/walked a 1/2 on my latest training run and isn't it human nature to go the easy route without having to push yourself? No...I'm sticking to the
full...it's my goal this year.
Charlie and I did 2 runs around Stanley Park in Vancouver...each being 10 km's. The while in Naniamo Harbour we did 14 km around NewCastle Island Park-trail runs and in various lengths....then Charlie went back to the boat and I finished with a 8 km walk. The while on Gabriola Island we went 8 km's....4 kms up hill ( 3 km of them a 12% grade) and 4 km downhill back to the beach.
So, yes, even though it was hard to organize and had to get out early, I was able to maintain my training while on holidays.
Now back to reality and to my usual road routes.
