1) I either need to find more hours in the day or tone down my somewhat ambitious to do list. Perhaps it’s the shortened week after the boys being home on Monday, but really feel like I’m struggling to keep all the balls in the air.
2) Is anyone else getting bombarded with summer camp brochures/email reminders? I mean seriously people it’s January 19 – what’s the rush?! I like to be as organized as the next girl, but sometimes it feels like there’s so much focus on the next thing/season/activity, etc. that there’s no time to just be in the moment and enjoy now. Of course, this is coming from someone who recently posted a full year’s race schedule…ironic, I know.
3) My training schedule’s going to need some tweeking. In an effort to increase my weekly mileage, I’m running 5 days, but with my weekly hour of pilates butt-kicking…I mean class on Wednesday nights this means I’m running twice and doing the class all within a 24 hr period. While I’ve been able to do it, I’m freakin’ tired by the time Thursday afternoon rolls around. And even with Friday as a rest or yoga day, I’m finding I’m still a little low energy when I head out for my long run on Saturday. I’m going to play around with the plan over the next couple of weeks and see if I can come up with something that’s a little kinder to my 45-year-old legs 😉
More hours in the day … amen to that. I’m having similar struggles with a training plan now that I’m committed to include swimming and cycling. I can fit it all in with some two-a-day workouts, but I’m dragging by the time the weekend rolls around and the long runs are scheduled. Back to the drawing board I suppose.
I’ve been struggling with the same thing. Naturally, my new trainer is available on Thursdays, which is the same day that I’ve already signed up for another class. So between those two classes and my Friday run, I’m looking at three things in a 24-hour period, a stretch that needs about six extra hours in it already.
You could try taking a two hour nap in the afternoons…but you probably already thought of that. 😉
I like the nap idea…but the darn kids and work would get in the way of that 😉
I know what you mean about getting bombarded with the “next” activity. It gets to where you hardly feel you can keep up! I second the motion for more hours in a day…however, we’d probably fill all of those up, too, and just want more. 🙂
