Welcome to Day 2 in the calendar year of a teacher’s life.
I started off my morning with a workout. Since it was my active recovery day from Beachbody’s LIIFT4 program (I’m on Week 4), I had carefully weighed my options.
I had found a sample workout from the Meltdown 100 program, but when I previewed it last night, I saw that it involved weights. Knowing that I would have a shoulder workout tomorrow, I decided to forgo it. Instead, I surprised Gambit with a pre-dawn walk.

Gambit had the absolute BEST time and managed to pull me at a fairly brisk pace for the first mile and a half. He started losing steam around the midway point but seemed content when we finished.


Just look at the gorgeous sunrise we were treated to when we finished.

Gambit was worn slap out when we got home but his smile – oh my heart!


After living in running shoes and workout clothes all summer, I had trouble deciding between two different shoes – hello Megan for fashion advice.

Onward to training!

The training was Kagan – rebranded – which I had many days of several years ago.
Sigh.
I did enjoy the company of my fellow teachers, so there was that.
The good thing was that we got out at 2:30 – thirty minutes earlier than expected.
Gambit was thrilled when I walked into the house. He gave me the major sniff-over to find out where I’d been before promptly going outside and sunning himself.

Oh y’all, all I want is to be in my classroom prepping for the actual classes I’m teaching.
Sigh.
Wishes and reality are two very different things, though, so I’ll be heading into Day 3 tomorrow.
Say a prayer for all of us teachers as we sit through another day of meetings.
