Wednesday...

OK guys, heading out for a four mile jog. Its very windy out today since the cold front is rolling in. Cold front in Texas..70 degrees. Just kidding. Its supposed to sleet on Thursday. I guess I'll end up in the pool then. Anyway, I have more to say but I gotta get outside and then on the trainer for 90 minutes. Maybe there's something good on TV!

Talk to you guys soon.

Well... the plan was god, the execution was lacking. My running partner crapped out on me. I know I cant rely on others to be there with me for training but I needed to vent to a friend today. Despite my running buddy's absence the run went well. Then I made the mistake of checking my cell phone. CRAP!! 2 clients, the wife called twice while shes at home with the kids. all you parents know that means it is time to check in. So, no crisis at home, but messages from clients that needed attention.

No, i did not return the clients call. They know my lunch break is from 11-1 ish. So i listened to the messages and jumped on the bike. instead of calling them while I was spinning nice and easy, I turned on CSI and went to work on some long easy intervals. All i could think about was that I needed to return those calls. So one hour into the ride, I gave in. I jumped off the bike and got onto the phone.

Lesson learned-Lunch time is my time, people know my hours and respect them.

I know this because both clients asked why I was calling them back so soon, they asked "arent you supposed to be doing ssome kind of ridiculous workout getting ready for Summer?" to which I replied "yes, but i saw you called and needed help." and yes I admitted that I ignored their call as long as I could. But alas, they were more importnt. If it wasn't for their business, my wife and I could not have the time to train. because I work, we can train. I thanked both of them for that while I had them on the phone.

I was sincere.

I appreciate every client and potential client and thank you for your understanding. You make these 12 hour days worthwhile.
