Whenever I oversleep (very rarely for me too) I feel more well rested throughout the day but so guilty and awful. I hope you find those extra hours!!!

I think the stress of sleeping later than usual is enough but missing a work out on top of it? Unfair, totally hard to deal with. It get it. You’ll feel okay about it by tomorrow, I’m sure but I wish you didn’t have to deal with this STRESS at all. Big hugs!!

If you find out where to get those extra hours, please share with all of us!

I think it is better to sleep through your alarm than to hit the snooze button too many times and run out of time to workout. I always feel bad about making that semi-conscious decision not to workout. You were just totally exhausted and your body made the decision for you! Also, I love the suggestion of changing your schedule so you can still highlight today!

That’s a long day. String a lot of them together with less-than-ideal sleep and you could end up burnt out. Definitely try to NOT stress about this. I know, I know, easier said than done.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. Except I’ve gotten so slack there is rarely a day I do get to highlight…. I’ve become Little Miss Schedule Tweaker. Daily. Haha.

No way I’m going to donate some of my hours to you. I could definitely use an hour-tranfusion myself. 24 hours just isn’t enough. I wish we didn’t have to sleep.

I know you don’t want to but I’m going to tell you anyway: it’s okay Jill. Your body obviously needed the rest. I could (at my age) never keep up this schedule of yours so I’m very impressed you do it all.

Idea? :

Highlight swim of the week: the one that was supposed to be a swim but wasn’t.

I know you know this. But I am realizing with renewed importance the power of stress in my mind and body. My life is a bit in turmoil. (yeah, I don’t blog about these issues. My blog is life-is-mostly-rosey) I have been trying to deal with the issues since January. I thought I was doing a fair job of coping. I am not. I firmly believe that as a result of the stress I have gained about 7 pounds, while training for the 50 miler and running 50ks. I record my diet and it’s mostly on track. Something as simply as stressing over a missed workout (which means nothing in your already mega-fit body!) can do far more damage than missing multiple workouts.

I understand that anal part of this, I live there too. (Hello, I’m shelly and I HAVE to run everyday, twice a day!) But I’m older and set in my ways. You are young and set able to adjust habits. Deep breath, in and out. Now I’ll tell you what you would have told me. Let it go.

HELLO! I’m just catching up, and I have 13 of your posts to read . I have the hardest time waking up on time!!! So, I’m impressed that you have such a work load and wake up on time all the time (well, except this one day, WHICH IS OKAY, and I’m allowed to say it b/c I’m not you, right?). Anywhoo, you’ll get a hang of it, I KNOW IT!

okay, i’m off to read your older posts.
