Finding balance in the busy-ness

Trying to balance running and cycling... and family, and work, and M.Ed, and .........

September has nearly come to a close. It started with a Meet Your Maker experience, that was very, very enjoyable and disappointing all in one, and ends with a decision to can the cyclocross season altogether. Along the way included 45 hours of physical activity, nearly 370kms of running on the month, the start of the SFU HEAL Masters in Education, along with September start up at school.

Finding Balance--the test of ones life:

Needless to say, it has been a busy month. Trying to find balance between late night studies, early morning runs, weekend long runs, classes for me at SFU Surrey and my own delivery of classes, and impromptu appointments like one the other evening ("Oh, by the way--it is meet the teacher night at the kids school. See you there!) have me reeling with energy and fatigue, trying to process the fast paced mad action that a jammed full schedule dictates. Our time is not our own--it is for those that expect of us. Kids, students, classmates, spouses, family, we give ourselves over to those who we are responsible to.

SFU and HEAL M.Ed.

HEAL SFU Graduate Studies

As of September 2013, I have started to complete at Masters of Education at Simon Fraser University. This means some of my running and biking exploits will have to be put on hold while I attempt to do some higher learning.

This page will follow my journey through the SFU M.Ed HEAL program, related to assignments and allow to connect with other HEAL M.Ed candidates. I will continue to write both blogs, only Watershed Athlete Heal will be a blog that discusses issues related to health and activity with an academic spin. This will give the audience of Watershed Athlete a glimpse into my academic life and focus.
