i'm gasoline
man, a long break was just what the doctor ordered. the first half was nice if not stressful and the second half - well that was just plain nice with no stress.
there was about as much drama as anticipated over the holidays. i wish there was a way to make it less stressful on everyone - mostly mothers. there is something that happens that makes (ours at least) go a little crazy and no matter how much time we spend in their eyes it could always be a little more. oh well, we made it out alive! plus, we were able to get a night away with my sister/brother in-law for a some great food and (too many) very nice beers. i paid for it but it was so worth it. madison to gresham to eau claire to wausau and back to madison in 5 days!
wednesday we had a dinner party with robin's cousins and then it was family time. i managed to get on the bike every day while in madison and we also got a ton of home re-organizing done (with much more to do). it isn't very often that you get a nice block of time with nothing planned and i thing we all needed it. that being said, calvin is very ready for the structure that daycare provides. and i think oliver was getting sick of us around all the time.
it's nationals week. after thinking about it so much this year i cannot believe it is here. i've tried to really keep it together training wise and i did alright:
m: 0 (beth and morten visiting)
t: 0:45 (run)
w: 1:15 (trainer w/ 2 sets 3 hard/3 easy)
r: 1:00 (trainer)
f: 0 (travel day, christmas @ in-laws)
s: 1:00 (running in fresh snow in gresham)
n: 0:50 (running in eau claire)
total: 4:50
m: 0:45 (run in eau claire)
t: 0 (hung over/traveling)
w: 1:30 (cross bike @ badger prairie/military ridge)
r: 1:15 (trainer w/ 2 sets of 3 hard/3 easy)
f: 1:00 (trainer)
s: 1:00 (trainer)
n: 1:00 (trainer w/ 2 sets of 3 hard/3 easy)
total: 6:30
not bad i must say. i know i need to incorporate some variety in my interval sessions but just doing intervals is pretty amazing for me. hopefully it helps a little. got an hour yesterday while watching football (that badger game was really something).
with that, i better get to work.
happy tuesday.
