Hey Ladies!
I just need to vent on my frustration of my energy levels.
I haven't done anything workout oriented since Sunday(when I ran 9 miles b/c the winds were to crazy to bike). And today,wed., I still have zero energy!

I somehow need to find a better balance between training and work! I am a horseback riding instructor, and I also put in rides on anywhere from 1-3 horses a day, 4 days a week and I set feed 5 days a week. When I teach, usually 3-4 hours a day, I walk around the whole time! I seem to follow my students around the ring so they can hear me better and I can observe them in more detail, I can not just stand still!
Then there is setting feed, we have 40 horses and each day I set dinner and breakfast, it takes about an hour and involves lifting heavy 50lb bags of feed and emptying them into containers so I can scoop the grain.


So even though I only have to be at work early 3 days a week(by early I mean 8:30) and the rest of the week I don't have to go in until 12(but I am there until 6:30 or so). The wear and tear of being outdoors and physically active in one way or another is amazing!

I started my job in Sept. and until Dec. I was finishing my B.A. so the bike suffered greatly. Since Dec. though I have been back into full training but can only seem to handle about 2 weeks of putting in 12-15 hours on the bike before my body seems to shut down.

I haven't worked out since Sunday and the weather was beautiful this morning, but I couldn't drag myself off the couch!

Does anyone have any advice? or do I just need to find a new job. I am actually looking into getting my alternate teaching license and become an elementary ed. teacher, but until then I need to figure out how to continue without completely wiping myself out. Right now I am only riding the bike 5 days a week, but only very rarely do I have a complete day off of everything. (Last friday I actually did nothing! I had the day off and I didn't even do the long ride I had planned...)

tired of being tired...
