As my running is starting to pick up again I find myself already trying to figure out how I'll balance my running. Managing a family & church & running can be quite challenging.
At times I find myself in my kitchen with the music blaring and the driving music pushes me instantly to the woods....running for all I'm worth! Voices call, "mommy,mommy", and reality is rushed right back.
So as I begin to get back into the swing of things I have to re-evaluate what I'm willing to sacrifice and what I'm not. What's important to me and what isn't.
This last week was somewhat scheduled for me. Being able to run again since my gluteus injury, has been absolutely wonderful! Saturday was our 1st "Long Run" in awhile. 3 hours on Wildwood was so enjoyable! I had some major downhill running and it felt amazingly exilerating!! I know I did too much but, my body took over and ran hard. I was slowly making it back to the parking lot just as I could feel my hip tightening up. I need to remember to take it easy coming back from this so I can be strong for next year.....but when I get out on the trail I just seem to forget everything and run like a dog!
I'll try to be better next week...........

Wife, 2 kids, full time job – I know what you mean, but life would be boring if not squeezing everything out of it. Some days are overwhelming, which time management and setting priorities is required knowing not everything will get done.
Glad to hear your running is coming back with no injuries.
