Lately, I have found myself trying to find space on the calendar to get outside and go hiking. The weather here in San Diego has been absolutely perfect for hiking, biking, running or getting outside in general. This time of year has historically been slow for me, work-wise. The good news is that my clients have been keeping me really busy, which is making up for a slow year. In addition, holiday social engagements have been taking up my weekends. The bad news is that I have fewer, if any, chances to make it outside.
As a result, the number of peaks that I complete may be slowing down.
I want to be clear about this: I am not complaining about having plenty of work and spending time with friends and family. It's just that, like most of you, I have a strong urge to go outside, get some fresh air, and get away from it all.
The question is:
How do you balance your work and other commitments with your desire you go outside and run, bike, hike, etc? For those of you lucky few who were able to marry your passion for the outdoors with work, how did you successfully accomplish this?
I absolutely love comments and feedback.
