I was less than lady like as I sat at my desk rapidly shoveling my chicken salad into my mouth. With back-to-back meetings scheduled through my lunch hour, I barely got to the cafeteria on time to get something to eat. To add to the Monday stressors, I had less than 30 minutes before the next meeting and plenty to do to prepare for it.
*sigh*
It’s going to be a tough week. I have full day training on Tuesday and Wednesday. Somehow, I have to figure out who will pick up BoBo from baseball practice (should he survive today’s final cut). It’s a problem that I am happy to have because I’d love to see him play on the high school team.
In addition to the child pickup issue, I have to figure out when I will do my runs. If coach is okay with me doing them on the treadmill, I can fight for a treadmill in the evenings at the local YMCA. I’ll have to figure out how I can escape the “30 minute time limit if others are waiting” rule. Running in circles on a well-lit track may be a better option for Wednesday’s slightly longer run.
Today is a day of rest where exercise is involved. My feet remain happy after yesterday’s “experiment.” I am back to giving both feet equal treatment. When I put one foot in the ice water, the other goes in too. They stick together so that there is no argument later that I am giving preferential treatment to one and not the other. It’s hard to keep everyone happy these days. I’ll just do my best.
Sounds like a tough week ahead . Juggling a job, kids and a family is challenging. When you add training in, it requires an amazing person. You can do it!
As a soccer dad, I have a special appreciation for you delima! My sons started practicing at different parks this season. Jeez!!
Hang in there! I’d pick up Conor for you if I could. Just think…a few more months and they can DRIVE. God…I feel faint…
wow. see, i can’t imagine having a family to take care of and train at the same time. major kudos.
I hate fighting for the treadmill at a gym. When the weather’s really bad here I do head indoors. The staff at my local club suggest booking the treadmill under three different names so you can get an hour-and-a-half. Late Sunday afternoon is a quiet time as well.
