and Training.
How difficult is it to fit half marathon training into a full-time work schedule with a monster 3 hour commute?
Last week I was all over it. Daily gym. Calm and centred mindset. This week - or to be specific, the last 2 days have been on the verge of OOC - my old friend Out Of Control. I don't like OOC. I like balance. It's nice there.
So what's different?
My ridiculous need for validation / praise / perfectionism / professional worth has interfered with promises I'd made to myself.
And it appeared again yesterday.
An urgent work request just as I was about to pick up my bag an exit for Pilates had me majorly pissed. I spoke up and asked if there was someone else who could do it as I was about to go to gym. Apparently not, so through gritted teeth I stayed at my desk. Worked through lunch. Went straight to an offsite high level meeting. Finished late completely buggered and still seething.
Today I had to leave early to accommodate a husband appointment. No gym.
Tomorrow I already have two conflicting places to be at lunchtime, and neither of them are gym. There's no room for this in the plan. I'm training to run a half marathon. So this week will have consisted of only two runs; 1 x 3.5km and 1 x 4km.
How and where do I find the time to meet my goal? Where does the balance come from?
