Too Much To Do
For whatever reason, I feel like there is just too much going on lately and I find myself just wanting to take a step back from everything and just… go away for a week or something. Work has been kind of crazy these past couple of weeks for reasons that I don’t even want to get into right now. And training obviously sucks up a lot of my free time. Between both of those, I’m generally pretty tired and am just wanting to eat and sleep so I have energy for the day after. As a “single” guy without any further obligations, I feel swamped enough. I don’t know how you folks who train for Ironman AND have kids do it!
Then there is the added stress on the horizon. There is a potential strike here by the union folks if they can’t come to agreements with our company which could mean 12 hour shifts 7 days a week here for me real quick. That’s going to put a serious damper on my training. My fianceé’s sister is getting married in a couple weeks and with my own wedding early next Summer, there is already work and planning that is starting for that. And none of this is that bad (well, the strike, should it happen, is going to be bad), but it’s still stressing me out nonetheless.
Training wise, I think I’m going to take this week as a recovery week. I don’t really feel that my body needs one right now, but it’s either this week or next week and I think I’d rather do a larger “block” closer to Wisconsin than right now. I still have a bunch of vacation to burn this year too. Maybe I’ll just take the rest of the week off to recharge? Sorry if this post really doesn’t make any sense. I know it’s kind of random and not very coherent. But I just wanted to let you know that I’m still here and still alive. Just very, very tired is all.
