Time pressed training

Weekends are busy times. Getting the training / family life right is a constant battle. Let me explain. 7.30 am get up and have breakfast before taking daughter to horse riding followed by taking son to team building event which is a 45 minute journey. Arrive back and pick up fresh bread, butcher meat and news papers. Second breakfast with my wife and then out on the bike. Due to time constraints I elected for a time trial. Basically flat out for 29 miles and I knocked 10 minutes off my time a week ago - that's a result. Back home and then off to the supermarket for lunch. Make lunch and enjoy time with my wife. 45 minutes watching the Olympics (how fantasic is this event?) then off to pick up my son from his team building event, take him home and then go out and pick up my daughter. Drop my other son at his pals, cook dinner and reeeeeelllllllax! It's now 7.40pm and it will start all over again tomorrow. Getting the balance right isn't easy but it's vital.
