Balance

So as a non-professional athlete, we have many things to consider in our lives that can and do affect our training. Recently I have decided to return to school and work on a Masters Degree, as I guess I felt I didn't have enough degrees on the wall. I was looking to grab a summer class, and realized how challenging it would/will be to get to class and train.
I obviously work full time, and coach, but then also try and keep my weekly training up around 16+ hours a week, as I have a number of 70.3's on my radar. Sometimes things have to give. One of the classes I'd like to register for meets 3 evenings a week. I teach spin the other two nights? How would I get to the track for example? I say this as I don't have an answer yet. I hope that the changing of the clocks next week, helps, because we'll have more daylight.

My racing season was to begin yesterday at E. Murray Todd 1/2 marathon, due to the snow and impending blizzard in the northeast, they canceled. Smart thing, but still a let down. The winter is always a challenge to train, as the darkness and cold often lead to the "blues". I can only hope the 6+ inches melts quickly.

The too funny day in the life. I was doing pull up in my house and as I was I knocked down some papers. Out from it fell a 2009 Michael Phelps Calendar. Just sort of made me laugh.

Rutgers Tri Club is grooving. We had another great guest speaker, and are in the process of ordering Race jersey's!
