1.6 miles @ 11
I may lose my mind. So busy. I just finished editing ch 5 of our book and posted it for the classes. I still need to edit the overheads.
I have good students in both my classes this semester. It should be fun teaching the courses.

Running still happening but at much lower level. Too busy, kids waking me up, working late, foot hurting. Sticking with it though. I think I've gained 4 lbs in 3 weeks. Eating in the middle of the night (late nights working) and not working out is a bad combination. That's how I got fat to begin with.

Was going to run today w/ the dog and R in the stroller (T and J were at Chinese school) but then dog started limping. Turned around and headed home. Still not sure what is wrong w/ his front paw. Looked at it very closely and couldn't see anything. If it continues, will take him to the vet.

Going to be a busy day.
Tasks:
I want to try to write 15 pages tomorrow.
Ch 5 overheads
Letters of ref for student
Faculty meeting
Late review to be done

I don't think I can do all of it. Something has to give. We'll see.

My life is swirling about me. I'm stressed with little time to sleep and no time to exercise.

That committee? I said no. Then I had numerous phone calls and personal pleas. It seems everyone thinks I'm the only one who can manage the underlying politics (because I'm sane and don't give a damn about politics?). Anyway, I'm the co-chair of the committee. I wonder if I'll regret saying yes.

Let's see. 1 am. I want to wake at 5:15 for a run. I don't know about that.

I know I sound like I'm complaining. I'm not. I'll work through this. Things will lighten up soon. It's just insane right now.

I'm going to write up my memories of The Mile and the 10K some day. I hope.

honey don't neglect yourself. You sound insanely stressed out. Give yourself some leeway but choose one YOU thing that you don't cave in on..and keep at it.. Meaning allow yourself whatever it is that makes you happy and find the time to fit it in. As hard as that sounds..you need it. downtime with the better half..smiles.. a date night once a month? Running 2xs per week.. maybe that's all you can do right now..but don't freak or get down on yourself that you can't do it *all*.. You've got far too much on your plate.

huggs..

Thank you. You speak the truth.

I'm stressed, but then, everyone goes through phases like this. I just have to keep at it until I get past it.

I do need to keep the exercise in my life. It makes me feel good about myself.

I am going to start exercising again in hopes that it will help decrease my stress load.
