Running on empty

We all lead busy lives and when combining the family life with running a business and also training, sometimes it can get a bit much.  Fortunately my training schedule is a fraction of what it was 7 weeks ago but I am now starting regular training again.  However I finish for 2 weeks annual leave on Friday and I'm "running on empty" / knackered / shattered and fighting off a sore throat / man flu.  It always happens.  Your defenses drop as the holiday approaches and bang, you feel crap.
But I am promising to relax on holiday although I will be running in the sand to practice for Marathon des Sables, sea swimming, possibly sailing and definately scuba diving.  That's when I'm not challenging the kids at crazy golf, reading, eating wonderful meals with the family or enjoying a cocktail with my wife.  You know what?  Just making that statement has made me feel slightly better already!  Here's hoping that will get me through a hectic last two days before I can relax.  Hope you enjoy your holiday when it comes.
