~:[CH13 - Day 97]:~ Half & Half

My alarm went off at 5:30am. Was my spring break over early? With my typical school day alarms on, it felt like it, but it was off to Irvine for our second meet in two days. Some of our team was in Irvine, while the others were at Cerritos College. While spending over 12 hours at a track doesn't sound appealing, it was fairly relaxing and fun to see many of the athletes find PRs. There were some who were disappointed, but many who found breakthroughs on the day. It was tough as there were long gaps between races, but that also meant I had a bit of time to take a short nap. It was too cold in the shade, but too hot in the sun, so I pulled up my hood and laid down in the sun with my jacket on. Part of me wished I had the day free to explore, but I also didn't mind coaching my athletes while also having time to relax in between races. How quickly did the break pass on by with half of it being work and half of it allowing myself to catch up on things that I didn't have time for, regardless, sometimes, the balance between the two is just right. Half sun, half shade; half work, half play; when you look at it, it's not too bad as you keep the balance between the two. If you feel at times your life is in chaos, maybe check the balance you have between the time you give yourself and the time you give to others (including work, family, etc.). While it doesn't have to be 50/50, sometimes, without realizing it, we fail give yourself the balance in life that you need and deserve.
