Back to School – Now the REAL struggle begins
I just realized that training in the summer months was easy.
I had my own time, I could schedule runs in the morning before work and evenings after work and anytime at weekends as long the kids didn’t have a basketball game.
But now school is back in session and I have to schedule my runs around school, meetings, afterschool programs and homework.
I am just realizing how hard that is. 😦
The other night, I stayed up till midnight baking and decorating a birthday cake, got up at 5am to get the kids to school and still got in a 7 mile run before work.
Um….yes…this was me…
Nonetheless, I did a successful 14 miles on Sunday morning from Flatbush, Brooklyn, over the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge, up the West Side along the Hudson River Park running path (so pretty!!) to 72nd Street Subway Station, Manhattan. (and yes, I got on the train and rode home)
OMG, that is only half of the whole distance!!!
Almost there….53 days to go!
THANK YOU!!!
