focus

oh my. the realities of life have set in this past week. i was only able to get out running twice despite pretty good weather. i did play soccer on wednesday, although not very well... work has been very busy, and my 4 kids' activities are nonstop. fyi... here's a rundown of a typical extracurricular activity week with the kids:

monday: andrew and nathan basketball practice
tuesday: sara dance class, sara basketball practice
wednesday: andrew and nathan basketball game, justin basketball practice
thursday: andrew and nathan soccer practice, justin basketball practice
friday: sara basketball game
saturday: sara gymnastics class, justin basketball game, sara airborne practice
sunday: andrew and nathan soccer practice in bloomington (an hour away)

add this to the fact that i work full time, my wife works about 25 hours a week, and we're both full time college students, and you can see where free time is at a premium! well, basketball season is almost over, but then justin will be playing baseball and there will be more soccer practices added as the weather gets better. when i really think about it though, yes, it's ridiculously busy, but i wouldn't want it any other way. the kids are involved in alot, but they love it, and so do i. the sacrifice for this, of course, is time to do things for myself. such as run. or sleep... but i vow to do better. i'll get out there tomorrow and do my long run. i'll get more consistent. even if that means running in the middle of the nite and sacrificing sleep. bring it on!
