Since I left for work monday morning, I have yet to eat a meal at home, have walked miles beyond those during my marathon attempt (and I walked a whole lot more than I ran that day!!), put more mileage on my car than in any normal month, and have slept far fewer hours than I need. Sunshine? Has the sun even risen yet this week? Cuz I don't remember seeing any...
*rolling eyes* *whine whine whine*. I'm actually not complaining; I'm enjoying it -- it's only this week, and I was asked to help out a different team/department, it's a change of scenery (since I work at home), I'm working with people... face to face (normally I train people...remotely), I'm learning a lot, seeing a different side of 'the business', have met some pretty fun people, and appreciate my position so much more! It's just that I wasn't expecting the days to be quite this long or tiring. I haven't run since Saturday, cycled or swam since Sunday, I'm missing it all so much! I had my bike packed in the car yesterday just in case I could make it in time to meet the group for a ride, I got home just before the late night news. Had my swimming stuff in the car today, the pool opened for lane swim as I left for the day, but was over an hour away... I had good intentions.
So I guess this is a warped kind of unplanned rest week? I'm really not resting all that much, but I'm taking a break from my normal routine and activities?!? It's making me look even more forward to Sunday's triathlon, I need my dose of endorphins pronto!! Too bad it can't be bottled!
I love mail, and was happy to get the envelope I was waiting for!
My reward/birthday present from me to me. :) I ordered this cute charm and necklace from Lift Your Sole when I returned home from my triathlon on Aug. 23, and couldn't wait to be able to wear it!
Off to bed, tomorrow is supposedly the late night... ugh.
I will catch up on your posts... eventually! lol Hope you're having a great week!

Love the necklace, hope things settle down for you soon!
Good luck surviving your crazy week! Love the necklace.
I'm cracking up because I just got a similar neclace! On mine, there is a charm that says bike and then two smaller ones that say bike and swim. I couldn't wait to wear mine, too! I like your shirt in your last post, too. I will have to look for that one.
At least you are eating though, right?
I looked at that jewelry website. I may be ordering myself something in the next few weeks. ;)
So love you necklace... will definitely have to check that site out... see if there's anything worth buying on there!
I'm dizzy and out of breath just reading your post. Sounds like the kind of week I had, too. Love the necklace.
What a cool birthday gift! I have to check out that website. ;)
Way to treat yourself with the nice necklace, good stuff!
hey, cool bling! love it girl.
I think it is a good sign when you take a few days off and actually miss working out.
Great necklace! Wear it proudly!
I hope your schedule settles down soon so you can back into your routine... and maybe get some sleep too!
I agree w/Marlene -- wear it proudly. It's such a nice necklace.
Hope thing calm down for you!
You heart and body misses your normal life as well :)))
Love the new necklace. Nothing like getting a treat in the mail during a crazy week.
I LOVE that necklace and totally want one. Great gift to yourself. :o)
Good luck trying to catch up, sistre!
In a pinch, there's always the "Mark all as read" button. No muss, no fuss, and no one gets hoited!
Of course, I don't mean for you to do that to MY posts. One must have standards, after all ...
Hey, I was in Canada last week! Montreal, to be exact. How come you people write in English but SPEAK in French/
You cray-zee Canooks!
Beautiful necklace. Late congrats for your great tri and the wonderful pictures.
Love the necklace! Thanks for the link! Sometimes these weeks happen, so no worries about the training.

Unintended rest weeks sometimes produce great results. Plus, you'll enjoy your workouts that much more when you slip back into them!
Hope your crazy week is going well, I love that necklace!!

My google reader is exploding too! Hence my playing catch up.
