Today is Labor day which means tomorrow is back to school. I think I am ready for the first day. I’m still not ready for day two, but my classes are Tuesday/Thursday so I have Wednesday to figure that out. This semester I am teaching two courses I have taught a ton before and also a new (senior level) course. I am excited to teach this new course and also a little nervous. I usually have the entire course planned out before the start of the semester. Not so much with this one. Having never taught something makes it really difficult to set up a schedule and figure out pacing. I’m sure it will work out (I really really hope so).
Running has been going great. Of course, being the summer I have had the luxury of freedom when it comes to scheduling. This past week I ran 27.5 miles (Tuesday 3.5, Wednesday 4, Thursday 6, Saturday 5, Sunday 9). There probably are very few weeks I have run more. This coming week the mileage will back off a little, a recovery week. That is perfect timing with the start of the new semester. After that recovery week the miles go up. I am glad I have a slow week this week to figure out how I am going to fit training in with the new semester along with karate. I will keep you posted.
