Juggling it all

Printer friendly version Posted on: Wednesday July 29 08:34:48 AM
What a fitting week for the clinic to be focused on the topic of "Juggling it all".

Never have I felt so much like there is not enough hours in the day. As far as running goes, I have regretfully dropped off as far as mileage goes in comparison to what I ran last year. And the intensity of each run has dropped as I have spent far too many nights trying to get one more job done and more cleanup done. This has adversely affected both my ability to get out for as many runs as well as the overall enjoyment factor. I mean, I still love getting out for a run but it is definitely not as enjoyable when each run feels like the end of a long run right off the bat.

I wish we were in the position with the move and renovations that we could relax a bit and tackle one small job at a time with no urgency to get it completed as fast as possible. Actually, we are at a cosmetic stage for the main floor at least but the basement is a whole new ball game and with Josh returning from India next week we will have to get cracking on his lair!

Might I be implying that a PB Fall Marathon is out of the plans?

We'll just have to see.

Nice to hear the honest assessment of how things are going, and that even you--the running machine--can hit the non-running-life wall.

Well Matt, this week was a bit better and have not missed a run we are ok with getting whatever we can get done at the house in the moment free. I guess also I am adjusting to the reduced sleep and feeling more energetic again. That said, I will have to be careful as less sleep results in more injuries!
