I had a great week and finally have food again! I carbloaded great (lots of rice!) I'm excited to cook some fun meals this week-chicken and zucchini noodles, stuffed burgers, stuffed pork chops before doing a small carbload on Friday for a Saturday race.
SLEEP WELL
I got just decent sleep this week. Work was pretty stressful and it made sleeping difficult. I just finished a great book on sleeping smarter that I'm going to adopt some things from to hopefully help me sleep better. I was however super tired after my 1 mile run and took a 30 min nap on the beach and then fell asleep at 8:15 and slept almost 10 hours before my race-crazy!
My goal is to get 8 hours of sleep for real. It can get hard with some of the dissertation work I need to get done as I want to be able to take a break from it at dark side but i will see!
EXERCISE WELL
Last week:
- Monday: Short weights and yoga
- Tuesday: 3 miles + weights
- Wednesday: Running strength + core
- Thursday: 3 mile run +weights
- Friday: rest day
- Saturday: 1 mile race

- Monday: Yoga recovery

I turned in 2 additional sections of my dissertation to my chair on Friday!! 2 more to go! I need to get some major work done this week on the other two sections, my master reference list and my outcomes but things are moving along nicely and I'm not too stressed about it.
Getting away to Carlsbad was just what I needed: I saw my Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, spent time at the beach, went to a winery and had great pizza.
And after the race, I was able to check out the DCA Food and Wine festival. A full recap is coming!
How was your week?
