Struggled to hit my target for marking today, but got there in the end. That end, unusually, came after my evening trip to the gym. I still had half an essay to get though when I set off to unfold myself on the elliptical trainer and weights. I suppose I could have delayed setting off until I'd got to the bitter end but felt that pushing myself when I had other things in mind wouldn't help me genuinely focus. Oddly enough, once back home and feeling pretty much spent I found it easy to give full attention to the efforts of the candidate in question, and those final paragraphs weren't quite so bitter after all.
Long gone are the days when I could sit and mark for four to five hours at a time. But perhaps that's helpful in unexpected ways?
