Getting used to things

I am slowly getting used to working full time. The challenging part (besides learning a lot of new things) is getting up early. This week I got up at 4:30 am on Monday and 4:00 am on Tuesday. Funny how by the time everyone shows up to work I've already been up for 4 hours. I found that the early wake up calls hit me right after lunch. Usually a good cup of java will allow me to make it through the morning. By the time Wednesday rolled around I opted out of the gym not so much because I was tired, but rather I was too comfortable in our warm and cozy bed. At school today we had parent-teacher interviews which ran til 11:30am and we were allowed to go home at noon. Tonight I have my first retreat to go to for work. I am off to one of the hotels in Calgary for a sleepover, which is paid for by the school. Tomorrow is a day of learning as we have a bunch of scheduled sessions to attend. I am excited about going as I get to meet the rest of the admin staff who I don't see on a regular basis (from different campuses), but will be in daily contact with. The previous admin assistant who has trained me since last Tuesday will also be attending and we will be actually sharing a room tonight. I will be starting Ironman training next Monday. This time around I will be doing a 30 week program. I think Monday just consists of a nice 30 minute run (Zone 2). Because it is just the base phase it won't be anything crazy for awhile. I just want to concentrate on sticking to my zones and follow the program. Trevor and I are considering purchasing some gym equipment for the basement, so that we can fit our training better into our schedules. I thought we were pretty good a juggling our time before, but now that we are both working full-time time is everything. If we can save time by not having to drive to a gym then so be it. The one good thing is that I know our equipment would definitely get used. One bad thing is that I'd still have to get to the pool in the evenings...man...swimming....so hard for me to get excited about it. Saturday we are planning on perhaps getting some new equipment.We've downloaded our holiday pics, but I have yet to do anything with it. Hopefully I will be able to do some of that this weekend. I have a paper due on Monday for school as well...man...now I wish I had more time in the day.
