Busy Busy Week

by Stephanie on May 17, 2012 · 0 comments

Holy cow.  As I write this I’m beyond exhausted in every possible.  Emotionally.  Physically.  Mentally.  I’ve been on a development conference planning committee at work and today was the conference so it was a crazy all week getting ready.  This morning I left the house at 5:30 AM (1.5 hours earlier than I normally wake up!) and just arrived home at 8 PM.  That’s a long day!  The conference went well but I was running around the whole time so it wore me out.  By 5:30 we were all cleaned up but I didn’t even get to go home!

Since I’m part of the local marathon race committee for the first time I had to make an appearance at the press release party tonight.  Free beer and appetizers made up for the fact that I was basically dead on my feet.  I watched the press conference and had some good laughs with two friends who are also on the committee.  Now I’m hanging out at home trying to stay awake until Jimmy John’s delivers my dinner.  Then I plan on crashing at an uncharacteristically early hour, which for me could be anything before midnight :-P

This weekend I’m headed to visit my sister and take part in my first mud run.  Hopefully I’ll be rested by Sunday!

Weekly Recap: May 7 – 13, 2012

by Stephanie May 14, 2012

Since I’m back into training for the triathlon season, it’s time to bring back the weekly recaps.  This week was just okay.  It always takes me a couple of weeks to get back into the swing of a regular training program.  Isn’t that always the case?  I did get in 3 solid runs and I’ll [...]

Triathlon Training – Phase 1

by Stephanie May 11, 2012

Now that I have my races all figured out for the summer its time to start following a training schedule.  Actually, I created the schedule last week and have been following it since.  I looked at a lot of free training programs online for inspiration and guidance.  The one I liked the best was an [...]

Race Calendar Updates

by Stephanie May 9, 2012

I’ve been thinking and rethinking my summer racing plans for months.  One day I’ll be all motivated and excited and tell everyone I’m going to do an Olympic distance triathlon and all these other races this year and the next day I’ll think maybe I don’t want to race at all.  There’s no end to [...]

My First Meet Up!

by Stephanie May 9, 2012

I broke new ground this week… I met a fellow blogger in person for the first time!  I was a little nervous but I’m all for making new friends these days so it seemed like perfect timing. Brooke from Brooke: Not On A Diet lives pretty close to me and offered to be a friend [...]

It Feel Good to Be Training Again

by Stephanie May 9, 2012

After months of workouts that were sporadic at best, I’m officially back in training!  I started on May 1 and the first week was kind of unstructured, though I did work out 4 days in a row.  Sadly, that was my longest streak since the Disney half marathon!  It really feels good to be working [...]

The Start of Triathlon Training!

by Stephanie May 1, 2012

Well, I’ve been off the grid way too much this year so far.  I’ve spent the last three weeks diligently unpacking and putting together my new place and I’m happy to report that it’s darn near done.  And its a good thing because I need to move on to other things like… Triathlon training! I [...]

2012 Goals Update – Quarter 1

by Stephanie April 18, 2012

It’s a good idea to revisit your goals from time to time to check your progress and see if anything needs to be changed.  The ‘businesswoman’ part of me decided that since it’s the end of the 1st quarter (well… close enough), now would be a good time to do this. So here we go! [...]

Weigh In – Apr 16, 201

by Stephanie April 17, 2012

Oh lordy.  I weighed in yesterday.  It’s been a month since my last weigh in and moving and settling in have not been kind to me.  Either that or it’s because I had to start using a new scale when I moved.  Can I blame this gain on that?  Probably not! I’m up again.  I’ve [...]

New Kitchen Things

by Stephanie April 16, 2012

The internet blackout is over.  I’m officially moved into my new apartment.  It’s a fine apartment.  Two bedrooms, plenty of room for my stuff and visitors if I have them.  There’s nothing wrong with it except for the reason I had to move here.  I talked about that in this post.  I miss my old [...]
