Very nice reply at the end.... but I do understand why he wants space from work/emails on weekends... and I agree with him that I would be super stressed with my email always open.
I also agree that the race should be about you and the fact that YOU did it... that's the big thing.

Sounds like a good session, you at least got things out you needed to and ya the friend limitations suck but it is what all of us have to deal with, sadly

I at least like that he reassured you so nicely.. so try to remember that, and look back on the email often, if you find yourself in a bad or scary place.
