<\/a><\/p>\nI see Crazy People.\u00a0 Insane crazy, I tell you!<\/em><\/p>\n I had been prepared for one more family weekend, but when the in laws decided to leave early… I was ok with it (since we’ll be seeing them again soon anyway). I didn’t realize just HOW stressed I’d been with fitting in work and training and family stuff and just minor shit like having to keep the house clean all the time and errands and downtime and cooking and laundry and FUN all packed into Sundays and having to wake up so early to train mornings and not being on a normal food plan and not spending enough time in the water (two rushed lunch sessions in the pool isn’t enough to make my soul happy) until I found myself just incredibly exhausted and over everything.<\/p>\n I don’t think I could have even unless this was a recovery week.\u00a0 I also ditched the early alarms as often as I could and just slept until I woke up both weekend days.\u00a0 I still got in all my training (actually, almost an hour more than planned somehow), but took a lot of stress off myself.<\/p>\n My knees (specifically, my leg muscles around my knees, not the joints themselves) have been tight, and this week definitely helped fix that.\u00a0 I made sure to stretch 5 out of the 7 days.\u00a0 I spent a lot of time feet up on the couch.\u00a0 I had a very pleasant hour recovery run Wednesday night (ahhhh, I missed night running) and an incredibly successful brick on Saturday on the back end of this week.<\/p>\n Besides the fact that I think I was so full up on sleep my body decided the last two nights were more appropriate to be 6 hour nights, not 8, I think I’ve just come out of this first block in a decent state to start the second half of Kerrville training.<\/p>\n I guess someone wanted a ride along?\u00a0 She got bored once she figured out we were going nowhere fast…<\/em><\/p>\n Last week:<\/p>\n September is the reverse of August.\u00a0 This week is essentially my last peak week and I’ll slowly decrease the hours over the month (and transfer from more running to more swimming) to prepare for Kerrville.<\/p>\n This week on tap:<\/p>\n On eating and things that are eating at me…<\/strong><\/p>\n I’ve got a bit of a dilemma.\u00a0 I’m going to need to get back to weighing once I’m over this TOM bloat, but I am 100% sure I’ve gained weight.\u00a0 If it’s a few lbs and I’m just crazy sensitive to it, I’ll calm my shit down.\u00a0 The way I feel though – I’m prepared to see up to 10 lbs up on the scale.\u00a0 I fell puffy, y’all.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n
