- The week has been good in regards to balancing work and working out - it's been pretty calm at work and I have been following my schedule to a T with the workouts! In the past four days I have swam 3900 Yds, biked 18.05 miles, and ran 2.6 miles... did 30 minutes of pilates, almost an hour of stretching and foamrolling.... throw in a complete REST day yesterday and I am satisfied!
- I am trying to soak in as much of the Olympics as possible. Last night I tried to hard to stay away and watch Shaun White in the Halfpipe finals but just couldn't do it. Has anyone caught any of the men's or women's hockey? There are twins from Grand Forks, ND who are playing on team USA - Monique and Jocelyne Lamoureux. They are both Freshman at the University of North Dakota - my alma mater. If you get Sports Illustrated, you might have seen their family story in there - very interesting! On the USA Men's Hockey team, Zach Parise who currently plays for the New Jersey Devils, is a former UND hockey player as well. On Canada's Hockey team is Jonathan Toews, who is currently playing for the Chicago Blackhawks, and is a former UND hockey player. SIOUX players represent!! Woot woot!
- On a personal note - things have been kind of rocky the past couple days and I am not ready to share anything as I am on a emotional rollercoaster. Instead, I will leave you with some quotes...
"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life." ~ Charles Darwin
"I Still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and the friends I want to see." ~ John Burroughs
"He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though it may appear to come out most badly." B.C. Forbes

I hope that everything is okay and that your challenging time will be short lived. Mother Theresa said, "God won't give us more that what we can handle....just wish he didn't trust us that much!" I hope that your day gets brighter and things start to look up:) Hang in there:)

I only watched the highlights, but Shaun White was SENSATIONAL!

I have last nights Olympics taped. Womens and mens hockey has been on CNBC and MSN or maybe MSNBC not sure which one. But its basically the network of NBC is hosting. The women and men played Tuesday. Dont know when they play again.
hope you are ok!!
first off..you rock for knocking out your training. Secondly...fab quotes...definitely motivating and profound. Lastly, I certainly hope that at teh end of your rollercoaster, you are in a better spot emotionally...good luck with that.
Great job on the workouts this week! Hope things start looking up for you...just hang in there!
Sorry to hear you're going through a rough time.. I hope things get better!
I've been trying to soak up the Olympics too.. I was able to stay awake for the snowboarding but just barely. I love it though and I have been watching the hockey, love that too : )
Yikes sorry for the crazy emotional roller coaster you've been on. Hoping things calm down for you.
Nice job hitting all your workouts though. You rocked it!
Way to rock the workouts! Hope the emotional roller coaster calms down soon!
Sorry things are tough lately. Hang on, it will get better!
Oh man, I'm totally jealous of your week of workouts! You go girl!
Because of the move, I have not even watched 5 minutes of the Olympics and it feels just wrong. :P
Whatever is going on, know that I'm thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. You are one strong chick so I know you'll handle whatever is thrown at you.
I think I've watched a total of five minutes of the Olympics. Can't seem to get into it this year.
Hope things get better for you real soon.
Sorry to hear things are a tough right now. Crossing my fingers for you that the rollercoaster comes to a stop soon! Hang in there!
I've only gotten to see bits and pieces of Olympic hockey - love seeing all the Badger representation though!
And nice job on the workouts!
Wahoo on being able to follow the schedule this week!
Hope everything is okay! Take care!
I hope this rocky time passes quickly. Take care of yourself :)
