That is the first time I've used the word conundrum.
So I work weekends and what I mean by that is I work every waking hour of every weekend. Enough time to sleep between my 16hr shifts, but pretty much nothing but work. I actually really like it, however it presents an issue in regards to races. I can't sign up for all the races I would like to do because as of right now I can't change the schedule around that much...
I'm looking for races that aren't on weekends (they pretty much don't exist). I could also pull off a local race where I could drive to it, race, then head back and only have to get coverage for half of my day. Gonna be a struggle but I'll find a way.
Although I said I wouldn't do it again, I may sign up for the Snake River Canyon Half Marathon in March because it would be a race where I could just scoot back to Tri-Cities and finish my shift with little waves made in the schedule.
Cheers to a good week of training!

I'm not sure if there are many races on weekdays outside of holiday races and week-long adventure races. With that said, maybe you could set some training goals to meet during your weekdays off until you are able to start moving around shifts here and there to squeak in a race. One other option would be to start a once a month 10k along the river with a group of friends. I used to have something similar in Golden and absolutely loved it.
