Woke up at 5 again. Was out running by 5:25. Ran 3.5 miles with an average pace of 10:18. A co-worker called me as I was on my way to school and needed picked up because she had locked her keys, purse, and school bag in her car. Typical school day otherwise. I'm really tired by the time I get home from school and usually quite hungry for dinner. Feeling good that I'm getting my runs in each morning. It was 100+ outside by the time I got home, so it's good that I got my run completed in the morning. It is a little odd going out to run while it is still dark out, but it sure is great to know I don't have to go run after school...especially in this heat.
Missing summer vacation! It's easy to forget over the summer that I do actually work for a living. It doesn't take long to feel like there never was a summer vacation! A new group of students keeps each year a little different and gives us a new challenge. Seeing the old familar faces walk down the hall to the 3th, 4th, and 5th grade classes is heartwarming. Each year, though, we also have to say goodbye to the students moving on to the next grade and/or the next school. Also, it seems each year our workload and paperwork continue to increase. Always learning and trying to improve our ability to help students excel. I feel like I can be a better teacher now that I am healthier and happier. Also, I feel even though I am getting up earlier, I have more energy throughout the day most of the time.
By 7:00 at night, though, I am ready to lay on the couch and be finished for the night.... It will get better once I get back into the routine.
