One thing I've noticed about the difference between training for a marathon now compared with the one I ran in 1999 is how much more difficult it is to fit everything into my schedule. Back then, I was living in an apartment. So, I didn't have the responsibilities of a house - especially the yardwork. My job also didn't require a lot from me, so I didn't have to work late and neglect a mid-week run.
It's like this weekend. I have to run 8 miles tonight, 4 tomorrow, and 12 on Sunday. I also have to mow the yard, take Joey out for lunch, and meet up with friends for dinner on Saturday night. Along with the 12 miles on Sunday, I have "Father's Day" lunch over at my parents, and then Bible Study later that afternoon.
During the week, I feel the pinch because I have a lot going on at work. Add to that the various errands one has to do, as well as any social outings (happy hours). Geez Louise it gets crazy at times!
Anyway, I'm just hoping I can take care of it all this weekend!
