At the moment I work full time, but I also am working part time on top of that for three months. It's been an eye opener - what on earth was I doing with all that spare time before, zip, and not in the looking after myself in any way. I need balance, just the right sort!

I have had a really hard time getting back into my running groove as well. It's been hard to have focus for me as I don't have any races coming up, but I really don't want to "lose it" if you know what I mean. I still don't know how you've done what you've done with the hours of work and commute that you do... That said, as Tara mentioned, you just gotta stand up and do what you gotta do, for you. And I think everyone knows that you can and often do, do that...you just need to get back in the habit. Love the new blog look, btw.

I also need to once again figure out a plan to propose at work so that I can officially work at home one day a week (minimum) which will buy me a bit more time. During my "normal" life I have in the recent past made sure I stuck to my commitments to myself and have said "no" to many a social engagement. It's scarily easy to fall back into the couch potato pattern and now I have a new excuse that I'm a bit ill (it's a head cold moving into my chest). It ends tomorrow. My company has hired a personal trainer for the running club (and anyone who wants to join!) and tomorrow a group of us at lunch are going for our first session. Now to just figure out when to go to the gym... Normally I would take my running gear with me on any vacation or weekend away, but honestly, with my friend from Seattle never being anywhere, I really don't know if the possibility will be created to go this weekend for a run. thanks Tara. watch this space darling!!

Don't worry too much about it since everything you are doing now is fun (well except for working overtime :) ) You will do fine on your races in November. By the way I cancelled the Bergrace on the 5th, my friend can't come with me and this was supposed to be a fun race for us and I won't go alone. We'll try again next year. Take it easy and enjoy the fun things in life. Sometimes life is just busy.

I know its hard with work and friends coming. Work of course is less flexible but make the time with friends to do what you want to do as well. I know when I go out of town or have friends visit I'm really up front with them about my needing to break a sweat. If that means I get up while everyone is sleeping to run then its what I do. Its during the times when we feel really bogged down that we need to stand up for ourselves. When my husband and I are working a lot we both know we need at least an hour of alone time to get our work outs in. Its the time to go inside our minds and body and make sure we are still present in our hectic lives. Xoxo Tara Boobear if you want to back to your regular schedule then get back to it.
