Good and tired.

How do you people do it?  I mean keep a social life, manage the household and stay in tip top racing shape?  I will always be an average athlete and proud of it...  Over the years when I set my race goals I always meet my goals but never improve on them.  My over all goal is to keep racing local events to be able to associate with fellow athletes and to remain healthy, not to actually be competitive, because of weekends like this last one I realize my limitations. 

This weekend was fun filled yet exhausting and I'm DRAGGING at work today.  All I can think of is my nice comfy bed at home that I can't wait to crawl in to but I have a 7:30 pm soccer game I have to participate in and buy the last two items on my Christmas shopping list before that happens.  Sat/Sun I organized the house and especially my home office, finished putting decorations up, wrapped gifts, bought more gifts, cooked, got a surprise visit from a really good friend, went bowling, stayed out too late Sat. ran more errands, volunteered at Toys for Tots Sun. morning took a nap that threw my schedule off but boy did I enjoy it, ran 10 miles with my bf, did laundry and fell asleep in front of the TV Sun. night before prepping my lunch and gym bag for the next day.

Tomorrow I told my brother I'd help him go to pick up the last of his wood floors that finally came in, Wed. there is the Nutcracker that my bf wants to see and Fri. friends birthday dinner followed by a musical, anniversary on Sat.

Now to find time to fit in all my training, I'll have to do a few at lunch and a few late night workouts.  I know it is worth it in the end because I get to see the smiling faces of my friends and family.  But through all of this the last month or so I keep feeling like I'm fighting off a cold even if I stop to take some rest days.  Ok I will suck it up and go on my merry way!
