I'm back in Maine and we have lots of snow too :-)

goals this week: swim 3x (1 done), ride 2x, day off from running.
I swam 6 times for 13k, ran 6 times for 41 miles, did not ride, and took one day completely off. I am really proud of how I structured the run week. I did a good job of mixing distance and short runs, and easy and speed. I also had one of the fastest weeks of swimming I've had in awhile.
Also, while I did not get any rides in, I did set the bike up on the trainer... it's ready to go!
Job news - got a skype interview for the job I really, really, really want, so that is good progress. :-) I also got turned down by another place, but I was expecting that from that particular institution.
One challenge of being home is dealing with a sibling's borderline personality disorder and other related issues. I just found out about this diagnosis (and the sibling doesn't know it yet - but parents said therapist thinks it is likely) and having a NAME for the constellation of issues is helpful in a lot of ways. I have been doing a good job of unpacking some of my feelings by journaling... it's supposedly an uncurable disorder, which makes me sad and angry. And a lot of the day to day behaviours that are part of the illness are infuriating.
On the upside of things, I get to spend time with my family and my beloved cats and chickens! Though I still have soooo much work to do to get ready for interviews and conferences and stuff.
goals for this week:
3 swims (1 done)
3 bikes
day off from running
