Last week in review

It was a great training week yet again. Although I was running out of steam by the time I hit yesterdays 5K.

I had a crazy week at work trying to interview new people for a LPN position that just opened up at our practice as well as see patients, Refills, Labs, etc, etc. I never thought I'd be so busy! Its crazy! But a good crazy!

Thursday while at gymnastics Caitlin was doing a high split jump and landed on her foot wrong and her knee started hurting so we were in the Urgent care for 4 hours. It was very comical listening to the nurses outside the room talk about triathlons and road races. "A kilometer is more than a mile right?!" "A triathlon is only for people that can run 7 min or faster", Cazenovia triathlon is like 10 miles isn't it? It was really amusing!
Anyways Caitlin has a sprain, on crutches with no Gymnastics for 2 weeks. We need to see a Orthopedic specialist as she has alot of instability to her Left knee. Im hoping no tears.

Saturday night I watched a movie "The Road" Very good. I highly recommend watching it. Go and rent it now!! :)

All in this time frame I still managed to take care of a 7 year old, have some play time and get my training in! Im multitasking well, Finally!

Here are the numbers

Swim- 5600 meters - 1 hour 47 min
Bike- 5 hours 5 min- Trainer rides
Run- 19.56 miles- 3 hours 12 min
Strength- 1 hour 30 min

Total time: 11:34:09

Happy Training!

Horoscope Friday

Sorry I have been Super busy over this way and have not read alot of Blogs! The laptop crashed a few nights ago and I haven't felt up to getting on the PC when I have been babied by wireless for too long. But, here I am. I know I have a lot of catching up to do!!

My throat has felt like razor blades the last 2 days, so I skipped my workout today..Geesh. What the heck is going on. I have been fueling right (for the most part) but I still feel like doo doo. My office manager said to me today, "you are always sick!" Well, Let me just say that 50% of the patient population I see on any given day has come into my office with Sore throat, Coughing and hacking all over me, and fevers. Hmmmm....let me guess what Kristin might get. Not to mention I've seen a total of about 8-10 Strep throat cases this week. Not to worry though. I was tested in the office yesterday and no strep. I think its a viral thing and will pass yet again!! I need to start wearing a mask!!

My question to you guys is, would you be offended if you came in to the office for a sore throat, cough, fever, etc, etc and I, the provider was wearing a mask?? I feel like they would be offended. But, I think this is my only saving grace to get through the winter without ending up with Pneumonia, Strep throat, the flu...the plague..(The last one was a joke..ha ha!! )

I was having a really crummy day today when I looked at my phone and received my daily horoscope. This brightened my day tremendously just by reading these words:

"You can handle whatever comes your way today- as long as you believe in yourself. Try to make sure that you're repeating positive messages to yourself, because you're definately capable of great things"

Wow, what a horoscope. I am capable of great things...this is just the beginning of that journey...

Happy Training!
