It is amazing the difference a full time job makes. I can barely get home in the evenings before I have to be in bed. Running is hard to fit in, especially with 95 degree weather. Last week I ran only Sunday before and after I was hired. Saturday was a 12 mile run and actually I think my legs enjoyed the rest. I ran another 9 miles in a race on Monday. My average pace was 9.33 ALMOST my 9.30 I have to run to qualify for Boston.
But Chicago is less than 40 days away and right now I'm working 12 hour days. I get up at 5 a.m. and am in bed by 10. How have all my friends been doing this for years? Tonight my husband cooked dinner for me and I suddenly understand why he rarely offered to do the dishes after he had worked all day and I had not.
My perspective is so different. I have such admiration for people who work full time and do anything else. I also have admiration for me 13 years ago when I started a new profession - full time, moved and had two children in elementary school. How did I do it?
All I know is that I'm too tired to even finish this post.
Catching some ZZZZZZZZ's
