Or "it's a matter of priorities." Yes, sort of. But sometimes in life other things take a higher priority, and there comes a point where there really is not any more discretionary time to divvy up. <br /><br />You know I dropped workouts for the month so that I have time to paint - that was an agonizing decision. It made me feel like a slacker, which is just so ridiculous! I'm trading one crazy, intense, dedicated, life-consuming activity for another and worry if that means I'm lazy.<br /><br />Anyway, I guess you know the answer. You will have to make a choice. But when you start listing out all the things you "must" do and then the things things you "want" to do, you might be surprised what things you're willing to give up for a few months.<br /><br />Guess I'd better write my own post about this instead of dribbling on and on...Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161793223531050486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520412246310459623.post-73610186244983286882009-06-17T06:34:53.403-04:002009-06-17T06:34:53.403-04:00I don't have children or a husband or a garden...I don't have children or a husband or a garden, and I usually feel behind. I don't know how that woman you described does it -- or you, either, my friend!<br /><br />So let me ask you: why do you want to run the half-marathon? I think if it is a priority and you have a clear vision of where you're going and why, and what it takes to get there, it will make a difference.<br /><br />In the meantime, you are getting tons of exercise that uses different sets of muscles, while running, um, doesn't. <br /><br />It's a matter of priorities and only you can figure out which matters most.

I...Get it ALL done?!?! Whatchewtalkinbout Willis?<br /><br />I'm lucky if I get ANY of it done. My house is dirty most of the time, I rarely cook a "real" meal, I moved to my new place almost a year ago and still have unpacked boxes hanging around... you get the picture - and it's not a pretty one!<br /><br />On top of working a job where I'm currently at the office 10-14 hours a day, I'm basically a lazy person. So I get very little done and almost nothing unless there's a looming deadline to get it done. And, even then I can rationalize leaving all kinds of things undone.<br /><br />Don't kid yourself that everyone else is doing better at keeping up than you are. You're amazing with the amount you get done! <br /><br />I have NO idea how anyone with children gets by with a full time job and taking care of everything.denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873046572246069891noreply@blogger.com
