Pretty good, all things considered.

M - Off
T - Weights + tempo run
W - Indoor bike 'cause of crappy weather and schedule
Th - No training. Taking care of family.
F - Swim and awesome bike. Did 1h45 when I was supposed to do 50min.
S - Long run (50min)
S - Long bike (2hrs)

Seems I've finally had some success with the motion sickness I get when I run: this week I tried anti-nausea wristbands and Gravol ginger tablets (couldn't hack the crystallised ginger. Ugh.) But I've still got a really high heartrate. I'm hoping it's the heat.

No "cheers" in that news, mistress k. From your tribute, very clearly a big loss in your life. Don't forget to take care of yourself amidst taking care of everyone else.

Very sorry for your loss.

Your tribute to your dad was lovely. Sounds like he was quite a guy.

thank you all for your sympathies. yesterday was a tough day (making arrangements and going with my mum to provide positive ID of the remains), but we got a lot accomplished so today is my "day off" from dealing with the administration side of things. i finally get my new bedroom furniture this evening (the bedroom ceiling was finished yesterday and the room has been cleaned, including shampooing the carpet), so at least tonight i'll have a real bed again.

i'm still actually doing a little bit of training (just 30min easy workouts) since it helps with stress relief, and i still plan to race a sprint on saturday for which i signed up back in march that will take us out of town friday night. my husband and i will be working an aid station on the half iron run course on sunday, too, so we get a bit of a weekend away before the visitation on monday and memorial service tuesday. some good friends of ours have their daughter (also a friend to us) visiting from germany at the moment and have invited us and many of the people with whom we're very close to a party on sunday, so we'll stop in on our way home from volunteering and have a bit of a wake for my dad among friends who know what he meant to me.

thanks again for the condolences.
