I am starting to discover how much effect my marathon training is having on my time. I had been feeling good that I was able to do my training in the early mornings so that it did not interfere with everything else I have to do. Now I realize that the fatigue from long runs on Saturdays has been causing me to put off things like planting my garden.
Looking forward I see that there will be challenges as I try to complete my race preparations while fulfilling duties at work such as helping with the conference that my company sponsors in the last two weeks before my race.
Today I cut my run short slightly so that I would have more energy to devote to getting my garden established before it’s too late in the season. I have spent the day working hard and thinking about this portion of the challenge of a marathon. I knew when I started that it would be demanding, but I am now beginning to appreciate how demanding it is on my time and energy.
Hey, thanks for commenting back at my Dutch Oven blog! I’ve linked from my main commentary blog (http://moboy.blogspot.com) to you. If you like it and want to link back, that’d be great!
And, I might take you up on the standing invitation to get together sometime when one of us cooks… I live out in Eagle Mountain, UT. You near by?
I live in Lehi, UT (west side no less) – we should definitely get together with our dutch ovens sometime.
