Pretty much our Saturdays were shot while I was training.
Also, I trained in the summer and there were a few Saturday mornings when our schedule kept me from getting in my long run early. Since there was no way I was going to run 15 or more out in the hot, humid Memphis sun, I went to the gym. One afternoon I ran 17 miles on the indoor track--that's 170 laps! I get dizzy just thinking about it.

When Mrs. Red Death was pregnant I trained for my first marathon. On saturday mornings at 6 in the morning I would have her drive me 18 miles away from our house and I would run home. the whole saturday wasnt wasted and it was cool enough that I didn't want to kill someone
