Busy life

Life has finally caught up to me big time. School is almost over but that means dance recitals, t-ball, fathers day, anniversaries, b-days, vacation, you name it... Oh and Allergies. I put in my best week of running in 2009 last week. I think I was a mile short of 50. Considering I'm going to run the full Buckeye 50k in around 8 weeks this is a good thing. I actually think I'm ahead of where I planned on being (if you can ever be ahead of training for a 50k).

Well this week has been rough though. The allergies have lead to eyes that won't open in the morning and a full head. I was going to run this morning but the Benadryl ruined that idea. The 9+ hours of sleep were probably more necessary then I would like to admit but it is killing my week. I've only got in 11 miles. Hoping to hit the towpath at lunch to stat fixing this. Then I've got a 15 mile run planned on the trails Saturday. With the long weekend maybe I can get in some extra.

Well just taking a moment for a sanity check. Back to life. The good and bad news is that I've only taken on business trip in the last 8-9 weeks. The good is I've been spending time at home with the kids, the bad is that it will surely catch up with me and cause the summer to be busy.

Hey...be glad for busy. You could be sitting alone in a hot apartment drinking cheap boxed wine when everyone else is enjoying their family weekend. See? There's always some poor slob has it worse off than you.
