Summer Job

Okay, I haven't really used the term "summer job" in quite a while. As an adult I've had jobs that lasted for 12 months. Now that I am in an education setting I have chosen to work part time for my district during the summer. I have a friend who owns a specialty running store in the area. She said that she needed help this summer and asked if I would be willing to work for her. So here I am, an adult, going back to hourly wages and learning a new set of skills. Needless to say, most of my co-workers are younger- much younger. So far it has been a great experience except that I am pooped when I get home. I work my "real" job in the morning and then work my "summer job" in the afternoon until 6:30 or so. I am learning so much.... I hope that my younger co-workers don't think I'm a dumbass because I ask alot of questions. I only felt the urge to shove running shoes up one customer's ass, so I think that is good. That is probably one advantage I have over the younger co-workers; most of the store situations are not that stressful to me. I have been dealing with special kids and sometimes their "special" parents, behavior problems, angry parents, assloads of paperwork, deadlines, reports.... so a guess 1 guy that makes you pull out 12 sets of shoes and choses the same pair he was wore into the store is really not that big of a deal. And now I have THE DISCOUNT. Pretty cool as long as my husband doesn't spend ALL the money I make there.

I am having to find ways to work in my summer workouts. I had plans of leisurely workouts all summer, but it appears that it will not be that way. So, back to the drawing board. I am through with the stress of training for my triathlon, so that is good. But, I would like to ideally run 3 times, bike 1 time, and swim one time plus stretching and weights. Plus a life in there somewhere. We'll see.
