Law School and Tri Training (Page 2)

SoccerGK - 2010-09-16 7:07 AM Wow, thanks for all the responses everybody!  There's a lot of good stuff in here! 

Just a few things:  I'm already waking up at 5am, which is SUPER early considering I don't get home until 10pm, and then I often stay up 'til 11 to get some school work done.  I'm notorious for needing 8 hours of sleep, so the fact that I've been managing on 6, I'm pretty proud of that. 

My hubby gave me permission to buy one of those book stands for my bike so I can read and train.  Only problem is, since I type all my notes, I'm going to have to go back through and do that afterwards.  Maybe he can build me something to hold my laptop, too! 

Can't quit my job, like someone had suggested.  It's really tough to live off just my husband's income when you're trying to save up for the downpayment on a house and trying to support our bike habits.  Plus, I want a treadmill!  It's in the legal field, so it is worth my time anyway. 

The gym is supposed to open up at school in like a month, so I'm hoping then I can get some short workouts during my 45 minute lunch breaks on MW, so I'll only be able to get in like 3 miles, but I guess that's better than nothing.  So I'm thinking if I get those in on MW, maybe I can get bikes in Thursday night, since it's a relatively early night, and Friday after work.  Then the weekends I can get longer workouts in.  I don't know if that'll work though, but I have to try! 

Number ONE though is that if I get all my school work done on the weekends, then I can utilize every bit of free time during the week to workout.

Swims will just have to stay on hold for a while!

Thanks for all the ideas.  It's good to know there are others who have suffered through the same thing.  Sometimes I think I'm just crazy for trying to do it all!

Probably couldn't do it without DH
