Well, November has been better than October and hopefully it continues. Last night was the first night in three weeks that all three kids slept through the night. I'm going to bed early again tonight. In about 30 minutes tops. Last night I was in bed at 9:30. That was nice. Tonight probably 10:30, but that is OK too.
Man, those little tikes have had us running. The cold season just bombarded us this month. Still, I have been able to increase the volume in all diciplines and have gone back to the Physical Threapist. She noted several things that need work, so I have some extra curricular activities too. Shoulders are a mess, but I knew that. Posture is a big part of it also. Ahh, the pitfalls of working at a desk. Right hamstring has only 30% the strenghth of the left, and the low back needs work again. also the calves are excessively tight. I have homework anyway.
Trying to get nutrition back inorder, but it's tough. You really are run around and needs come in second or third. Came home from 2 hour Sunday swim and was falling asleep wherever I was, but couldn't get any rest. Couch, kids wanted to play. Floor of kids room, let's play wrestling.... All good fun. The holiday was busy too, but managed to get in more work than I have in past years on this weekend. Lisa is back at the gym full time too, so we motivate each other a bit.
Anyhow, have to start lining up the 2008 race calendar and see where the pieces fall....
Out, and to bed soon,
MW
