~:[CH15 - Day 37]:~ Thrown Off Pace

During a tempo run, you are trying to run a consistent and even pace. I always call it a slow burn as you try to use up all your energy, but at just the right speed. No screeching tire starts and no blazing photo finishes. Just a nice even pace. I actually like my days like that. No nonsense. Predictable. Routine. It almost never is the case, but one can dream. Today, while the runners seemed to be on pace, my day was anything but. With classes smaller due to the walkout, I tried to manage lessons that could be while leaving few makeups having to be completed. On top of it, I had my chaotic activity that required a lot of thinking on my end. Definitely not routine. To end the day, I was going to wrap up and take care of some work I needed to do, but a club asked me to help them out for just a bit and it turned into a much longer process. I was a little upset when I went home because of the situation, but when I got home, although I was thrown off pace, I realized it wasn't so bad. I felt good that at least I could help out the club as they faced a dilemma, The activity, although tedious, got the students involved and excited. My students who decided to walkout, voiced their opinions and it seemed like many were actively engaged. While doing a tempo run, you may not want to be thrown off pace, but in life, it's part of the process. You're going to have those chill days, those days you're frantically running around, and everything in between. They'll be days you're energetic and others you're lethargic. Nevertheless, you move forward and you keep going at your own pace. Every day has it's own pace and while you may prepare for your routine day, be ready for what this world throws at you. Today was one of those days and my experience in life helped me deal with everything throw at me and I only hope that you all are prepared too, as life truly comes at you fast.
