I did not sign up for the Holiday Half but I need to do very soon before the price increases. I completed all the workouts for Week #1 except the weekend workouts. Then I went to Chicago and it took me a whole extra day to get there due to major thunderstorms in the Midwest. I had to spend a night in Denver. Traveling is absolutely exhausting. Three of the four days I was gone I was flying. I had a great time visiting family, but I came up exhausted and jumped right back into work. By Thursday of last week I was physically and emotionally drained. I had to leave my classroom for a half hour and get my emotions in order. It was a little embarrassing, but my co-workers said I did what I supposed to do when I get overwhelmed.
This week was better, but my job is still very difficult. I still don't have an assistant. I still learning how to be a teacher. I am drowning in paperwork. Sometimes it is hard to shut my brain off and take a break from it. I don't feel nearly as overwhelmed as I did. Exercise is one thing keeping me balanced. Here is what I accomplished this week.
Sunday = Ran 6 miles with T in the early morning and we went up lots of hills.
Monday = Ran 3 miles by myself in the morning.
Tuesday = Rest
Wednesday = Swam with T and did about 1350 yards
Thursday = Group Ride with T
Friday = Ran 5 miles with T in the morning
Saturdays = Ran intervals at the track 2 x 800 and 2 x 400 with recovery laps in between. Also going to go the gym and lift weights in a little while.
