I had a good week! I actually had a LIFE this weekend :-) which resulted in my not getting all the hrs of dissertation work I wanted, but I'm allowed to have some fun every once and awhile. I really needed a break from work. My goals were 6 swims - done, 11.5k; day off from running - done, 53 mi for the week in 6 days; 15 hrs of dissertation work - did 8.5; I probably said something about cycling and didn't ride at all. I also made a goal to start studying for Wed.'s physics midterm, and I studied for a couple of hours. All in all a good week.
On Saturday I went to the ST Road Show in Portland (OR) which was awesome. I met Lars and Dan and got all kinds of free stuff. On Sunday, I volunteered at a water stop at the local (but very big) half marathon. An officemate and my advisor were running, and it was a lot of fun to see them and just volunteer in general. I've raced a lot and never volunteered, so it was high time I did that. Also, my advisor is friends with Trisha Drobek, who ran at Olympic marathon trials this year. E. (advisor) introduced me to Trisha - here's a pic :-) she was so nice, and I got an autograph. She wrote "run strong, wings out." I *hearts* it. She won the race, super cool.
I don't know how to rotate this...
goals for this week: 15 hrs of dissertation work study an hour a day at least (M-W) for midterm swim 6x (1 done) day off from running ride bike at least once :P get bike receipt from fixing to insurance :-)
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
