So, what made last week crazy?
Wednesday I had to take my Mom and son to the airport at 6:15 am, and then I had a dentist appoint at 8:50. I crossed my fingers that I would be out of there by 9:30 so I could make a 10:00 am class at RevolveDC and I just made it!
Thursday I was out the door at 5:05 am to meet some MRTT friends to run hill repeats for breakfast. Between that hard workout, probably not hydrating well enough, and the start of my period, I ended up with a killer headache. Since I couldn’t focus at work anyway, I left early and did a 4 mile run from home–my second “double” run day.
Friday I was supposed to pick my Mom and son up from the airport at 10:00 pm, but when their flight was delayed for a few hours, they decided to take a cab home. I set my alarm for 4:40 am for my 5:30 am MRTT group run, and went to bed at about 10:30. At 12:30 they texted me that they were just getting ready to depart! When my son got home at 4:15 am, I got up to greet him and offer him sympathy for his rough trip home, and then crawled back in bed to snooze for a few more minutes.
I felt surprisingly great during my long run, but I forgot to lock my iPhone, and it must have detected incorrect password attempts so it wiped itself clean! I had to restore it from an iCloud backup when I got home. I lost the pictures I took before my run, and now I’ve got to figure out how to make sure that doesn’t happen again. 🙁
Has your week been crazy or calm?

My Ragnar training has not been going as well as I hoped. Oh well there is always next week right?! Sounds like you are ready for it
LOL. The clock is ticking!
Wow – I hope my phone doesn’t ever delete itself – I would probably have a bit of a melt down.
Training is going OK – I have a big race in 4 weeks so I’m trying to up my miles while staying healthy and injury free.
It could have been so much worse! Thank goodness I wasn’t travelling, but not I am paranoid about locking the screen! Are you doing another ultra?
Yes. September 11 I’m doing the Patriot Run – 9 hours 11 minutes.
So sorry about your phone, I did not know they could do that.
I guess it’s a new anti-theft feature, but it backfired!
Wow busy week! The weather is the hardest thing to work around right now but I have managed to stay on plan! Have a great weekend!
LOL….I thought my week was crazy until I read your workout schedule. My week was a cake walk in comparison!
You know – I seriously believe I have had a STRONG WEEK! I have been moving faster and feeling more powerful and stronger. Because of that I consider it a GREAT WEEK!
I didn’t even know the iPhone will do that!
You definitely had a crazy week but a strong one! Nice job!!
Sounds like training is going well! My week has been crazy with a capital C!
