Tired

I have been heavily pre-occupied for sometime now. It was one of the busiest weeks I've had in a long time, both professionally and personally. I've had some deadlines and major projects going on at work, that I'm a major part in, had my reserve weekend, and am still trying to run - All of this plus entertaining my attitude driven toddler.

I had 4 runs this week in my training, Tuesday's run was already mentioned. It wasn't that great, but none of them have seemed "right" in a while.

Wed - 3
I didn't get up early enough for my Wednesday run of 5 miles, so I headed over to the gym after work and did 3 miles on the treadmill. It was okay. I basically traded my thur run for wed.

Thur - 5
By far, this was a better run. It felt a little cool, and not too hot yet, so it wasn't a bad run. It was also nice to get it over with. We also had the first meeting for the tri clinic. It was just a Q&A and info on what to expect the next few wks. This thur is our swimming lesson.

Friday, David and I headed down to Florence, SC for Tri the Pee Dee. We had a great time. David tells us all about the tri experience here.

After returning saturday evening, we jumped for some opportunity for a nice glass of wine, without the munchkin in tow. She was staying with Grandma all weekend, as she does for all our drill weekends. We had a nice evening supper together, then shot over to our wonderful local wine bar. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch, with some other regulars, we've spent a lot of time with at NH. We all enjoy each other's company, and it's a pleasant time. We got to hear all about their recent trip to Italy. I'm so jealous! When returning home, I had homework to do, and off to night-night's, I went.

Sun - 7
Sunday was a long day at drill. I got there, not knowing they were allowing us to exercise first thing in the AM, in my dress white uniform. Well, once I found out - I was off to change into my running clothes. I had 7 miles to run, and wanted to get it done and over with. I ran the perimeter of Donaldson Center, which is exactly 7 miles. So, I did it - Did I do great? No. Did I struggle (still)? Yes. Do I feel like poo, about my running - Yea, I do. Will I do try to brave 12 saturday - Yes.

So, I'm back, and extremely exhausted, right now. It's 3:30 in the afternoon, and that's when it seems to hit me hard. I got all caught up on my buddy's blogs, and what's been going on the last week! I hope not to be gone that long again...

Til tomorrow.
