My 2nd trip overseas is next week for two weeks. I will be going to Norway, Scotland and France. I am not looking forward to facing the winter temperature in Norway. Is April spring or winter in Norway? It must still be winter as the cities I am going is still receiving snow. The temperature in Trondheim ranges from -5 deg C to 2 deg C. Olso is warmer if you can call temperatures ranging from -2 to 5 deg C "warmer". I certainly won't be running outdoor because there is snow and ice on the road.
After Norway, I move to Scotland where it is "warmer". The temperature ranges from 5 to 10 deg C. Again it's too cold for me to run outdoor and it is such a hassle to bring along my winter running gear.
My last stop is France. I will be going to Paris and Lyon (Southern France). Wow, the temperature is quite good ranging from 3 to 20 deg C. But I am not sure I would be able to run when the temperature is higher as I have to attend meetings in the daytime.
Overall, my prospects to continue training over the next two weeks are not very good. I am hoping the hotels where I will be staying at will have a gym with a treadmill. In Europe, most of the smaller 5 star local hotels do not have a gym or fitness centre. Often you have to pay to use the gym facilities even if you staying there. Tomorrow I will spend some time surfing the hotels website to check if they have a gym.
Update : From the hotel websites, most of them have a gym or fitness centre. I am not to sure if they have a treadmill.
Larian Mesra Polis (Did Not Start = DNS) : Although I collected the bibs on Saturday and pinned them to the running vest, I didn't go to the race. When I woke up at 5.30 am, I discovered I still had a cold and sore throat.
