My Expanded Week Calendar

What is an expanded week?  Well, I seem to never fit in everything I want to fit in between long runs....for example, by the time I do yoga and insanity and run, I haven't put in enough weekly runs before my long run so it gets pushed.  Well, who cares?  If my workout week is longer, I have plenty of time to fit in all these things I love + rest and get in a nice, needed long run.  So, here is my 10 day workout week, (my expanded week):
My week began on Sunday, Oct. 16th...
Sunday: rest
Monday: hills, (no yoga until Nov)
Tuesday: push ups
Wednesday: 3 miles
Thursday: insanity, push ups
Friday:  3 miles
Saturday:  Push ups
Sunday:  3mi or long run
Monday:  either rest or long run (depends on Sunday), push ups (no yoga until Nov)
Tuesday:  either rest or 3mi

10 days=1expanded week

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday time!

8 mile day

This whole running thing is a metaphor for me. I wrote about that here . I also write about autism and my son a lot. My life is filled with my children, homeschooling, and autism in particular. So, I end up writing about, thinking about these things that consume my time. As I looked UP the curving road toward a destination I couldn't see, I was reminded of my metaphor. I thought of how UPHILL days with an autistic child can be, of working toward a destination that I can't see, and I thought of "conquering." Then, I decided that really, what I want is more than just to conquer. I wanted to relax, not worry about the outcome, and enjoy what I have and where I am. So, that's what I did. For me, this is symbolic of my work with my children and especially with my child with autism. I don't know what is around the top of that bend, I do know it will be work to find out, and I make my choice, as always, to relax into my son's life and enjoy our world t...
