Exercise and stress

Last month was hell because I am in the midst of an application delivery at work (I'm managing the project) and because I started Hell MBA Course #2. As far as I know, there are only two weed-out MBA courses and I have already completed one of them. Gotta pay my dues.

After a frantic day at work, my shoulders were tensed up and there was a tightness in my chest that made it more difficult to breathe. I grumpily went to the BBC and only a few people showed up for a five o'clock ride. Everyone there was way faster than I am, so I figured that I would be riding alone. However my coach stayed back with me and we put in about 1:15. The stress melted away and I drove home feeling relaxed and refreshed.

I'm bummed about the fact that I don't have enough time for a 2 hour daily workout due to school, but I have to make myself get out there when I can so that I don't explode from too much stress.
