Maybe.

I went for 3 runs last week, while doing 2 personal training sessions, and hockey training, then 50-ish minutes of running on the weekend.

By Monday I was absolutely shattered. Didn't go running, went briefly running on Tuesday, then PT in the afternoon and training at night.

My PT suggested that maybe adding so much running on top of everything else was not such a good idea. So I'll be reducing the amount of running down to maybe once a week, plus training, plus a game. On the weeks where I don't have a game, I'll go for another run.

BTW, these are not "runs" exactly, but more intervals training, where I run for 60 seconds, then walk for 60 seconds, then run, then walk, then run, etc., until I've gone as far as I want to go. The idea is to improve my fitness for hockey. Still, PT had a point in that it was a significant level up from what I'd been doing before.

Anyway, it's been a tiring couple of weekends, and as I may have mentioned, the weekend was 100% full on. And there's another full-on weekend this weekend with the time away on the course.

Of course, Bridgerton also starts this weekend, and while I'm not going to binge it, I am hoping to maybe get to watch the first episode. We'll see how my phone wifi copes with Netflix this weekend. (I'm staying somewhere new, and they don't offer internet with the house.)

Did my one-week-a-year bible study leadership; I don't feel adequate to it, frankly. I can think good points, but it's also difficult as at least one woman tends to end up taking over the conversation and talking into the silences. (I like leaving silences for people to think and reflect; D does not.) Also, I have a lot bouncing around in my brain, and not all of it is 'orthodox', which this group is better than most about being unorthodox but also sometimes I feel WAAAAAY unorthodox. Which, really, I guess I am.

It's not comfortable.

I am feeling a little on the outside of some of the connections in the church; but also I have a lot of connections elsewhere, and I think I'm mostly doing okay, just not super-duper connected. That may make no sense; it's 10:30pm and I need to have a wash and go to bed. Tomorrow is another day and I have PT in the morning.
