4 BIG THINGS

I flew patterns both Saturday and Sunday and frankly my whole game was off. My patterns were not tight and I seemed to be all over the pace altitude-wise.

Today I took off with the trim tab all the way up which made it very tough to even get off the ground. Rob took the plane and got us off the ground as we adjusted the tap to take off position.

I seemed to be regressing.

Why?

I think it because I am breaking by big rule of life. I am trying to do 4 big things at once and I am best when I am only doing 3. What are BIG things.

In my case it was (until recently)

1. Flying
2. Running
3. Family (family, friends, house etc etc)

I was working as a consultant but only part time.

Now I have added in that 4th BIG element. Fulltime work.

After a full week of work I was just plain tired and my flying showed the effects. Right now it (flying) is the new BIG thing and requires the most focus.

As drove home I realized, as I already had begun to suspect, that work would be no problem with family and running if I was not flying. But I am not going to stop flying. So since part of my job is to find a full time HR Exec, that is going to become my major focus beginning Monday. That way I can exit work as I presently know it (5 days a week, oh my!). I hope by sometime in March.

Otherwise I would have to put flying on hiatus or cut it back to one day a week. It's not a choice. Eventually family, work, flying and running will all be adversely effected and I am not at a point in my life where I want to juggle an overloaded schedule.
