I’m learning how truly difficult it is to find time to train while working six days a week. Because my commute from my condo to work is about 2 hrs, I don’t get home until around 7:30pm on weeknights. This has worked out so far because if I leave the house right away, I can fit in a 3 mile walk before the sun goes down.
But recently the training schedule is growing more demanding, suggesting 5 miles on weekdays, which according to my calculations will take approx. 1 hr. 20 minutes. I don’t mind putting in the time–in fact, it’s a nice break to either talk on the phone (at the moment, I am training alone) or unwind after a long day and listen to new songs I’ve downloaded to my iPod.
The troubling thing is that about 2 weeks ago a 19 yr old girl was killed in my town which has me really freaked out to walk at night.
The man knew this girl, Tanisha Tull, but all the same I’m not used to living in a town with a murder and it’s very unsettling.
Despite my discomfort, I will keep on training and always let people know where I am walking and when I expect to be home.
