Track struggles

With the snow falling here in Edmonton, training has become a bit difficult on the home life.  The nature of my winter training is a lot of sprint style work.  Not the best to complete on icy sidewalks. 

I am currently working with a group at the University of Alberta Butterdome (200m indoor track) on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  We are meeting at 430pm to start warm-up and start the workout at 5.  The main sets usually end up being at least 60-90 minutes.  Add up the commuting time and I get home around 7pm. 

Not sure how long this is going to last before my wife goes crazy and demands a change.  On the other side of things, if I was still training for Ironman, I would be spending 1.5-2 hours in our basement training.  I guess the difference is that I would be home.  I think it is going to take some time to get used to training with a team again.  With my work schedule it only ends up being 4-5 track workouts a month so I guess it is not really that bad.  I am going to have to have a talk with Ron about things and see what we can do. 

On the positive side I have been having some great weight workouts at my office gym the past few weeks.  Just need to find a way to work on the speed that allows me to have a happy home life.
