goals for this week:
swim 5x (1 done)
check bike 5x
check run - one day off, do things that get me faster (1 done ;-)
I did a super good job with both of these! 5 x 1 hr focused writing
I didn't do 5 x 1 hr and I didn't get what I feel is an adequate amount done, but I did spend some time writing. I swam 5x for a total of 8200 yds, rode 5 times for 36 miles (hey, that's a mile more than last week), and ran 6 times for a total of 47.5 miles. I did a good job balancing run distance and speed, and am rather proud of that.
I made a sticker calendar a couple weeks ago to motivate myself to do a good job of eating normally. (I get a sticker for each of these days. Yes, I'm a two year old). Emergent pattern: Thursdays are tough days for me. I think by that day I am just exhausted. Sometimes just the awareness helps... so I will have to come up with a way of taking better care of myself on Thursdays. Also, yesterday was rough and I'm not entirely sure why. I had a busy day and had trouble settling down, I think. I am so trying to work on this.
One of the schools I applied to called yesterday, and I got a Skype interview. :-) I have 12 applications out right now, so it's nice to hear back that at least one place is interested! (It is a little early to hear news, honestly)
goals this week:
rough draft of one of journal article
bike 5x
day off from running
keep doing a good job doing things that make me a faster runner (so far so good)
swim 5x (2 done)
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.
