I had an interesting moment yesterday, completely unrelated to running, but bear with me because it comes back. It has been a busy week with back-to-back meetings for the most part. They are personally interesting, but professionally, they could be critical---meeting with high-level people and building contacts and networks that will be valuable. We had two such meetings yesterday afternoon which conflicted with the girls Christmas party and while I had initially said that Amy would just have to work it out without me, I changed my mind, skipped the meetings and went home so that the girls could go to their party--which was totally the right decision. This week has been similarly hard for workouts---in addition to having too-little time, I am not eating well, sleeping enough and I have been tired. As I was running this morning---between getting the girls to school and my 9AM meeting, I realized that I am having to make similar decisions with regard to fitness and I was wondering how someone like a University President fits in an hour-long workout six or seven days each week. The answer for most people is that they do not. And so one 'chooses' career over health---which explains a lot.

Left leg was bugging me today, I think some lingering pain from either carrying too much in my backpack or running home with it on Tuesday (stupid)---kept the speed down overall. Wanted 5 or 6 miles, but only had time for 3. Also disappointing. This is an off week and I need to just take advantage of the fact that the pace is slower (workout wise) and keep in mind that this is a life-fitness goal I am on, not a week, month, or even year or fitness.
