Great Conference Last Weekend
Well, I’ve been on the road WAY too much lately, but I attended another fantastic conference in Orlando this past weekend. As hard as it is to be away from Sarah and our kids, it was well-worth having attended. A lot of what I learned was an affirmation of what we’ve been doing for years, but I did pick up some great new ideas. Now, we just need to find the time to implement them!
Balancing professional, family, and training responsibilities are becoming increasingly difficult. To stay with my plan, I had to spend 3:30 on a hotel stationary bike this past Saturday. In order to get to my class on time, I had to get up at 4:30 AM to do it. THAT was really boring for 3 and a half hours!
Yesterday I left the house at 5:10 AM for my Master’s swim workout, went straight to the office from there, and didn’t get home until about 6:15 PM. I needed to do 45 minutes of strength training while the kids were with Sarah at Swim Club, and then it was time to put them to bed. I ate dinner at 8:30 and went to bed right afterward.
Today is similar to workouts “book-ending” a really long day at the office. 4:45 AM Computrainer bike session and 6:15 PM run….
