Had a great holiday for almost one month ! Visited most of Italy, and places in Morocco, Spain, Portugal, and Canary Island.
Running wise, I think I did enough to minimize significant fitness erosion.Only ran once in the first week, but then managed to run a bit more in the second and third week when we were on a cruise ship. Ran on treadmills whilst at sea, and ran on land when the ship docked. Since we went on sightseeing during the docking, I mostly ran around the port and waterfront area before the ship sailed again. To keep some fitness going, I did a couple of long runs (20k, 26k) in those 4 weeks and ran a speedier session once every week.
After 27 days of holiday, I began to get sick of eating pastas and drinking wine and chiantis. Going back to Singapore this Friday !
