Week of Jan. 29

This is going to be a short week at home. We're going to Crested Butte, tomorrow (Thursday), for a long weekend. Our friends Gary and Cindy won 4 free lift tickets; so, of course we had to go.

The first three days of the week here at home have been busy. After driving down from the mountains on Monday morning, I baked cookies, did laundry and rode for an hour before meeting my friend, Jeannine, for lunch. (It was her 30th birthday.) We had lunch at the Med, then went out for coffee. While drinking, we took a stroll down Pearl Street to Title 9 to sign up for the cycling club again this year. I had a wonderful afternoon with her. After I left Jeannine, I had to run a few errands, get the oil changed in Michael's car and return a book to Front Range College. I came home to walk the dog then off I went again to pick up Michael from work and go for a swim. Wow, what a busy day.

Yesterday, I spent all day on the computer. It was my day of job hunting and applying to jobs. It was a very successful day; I applied to 9 jobs. Very cool! After the day in front of the computer, Michael and I did a spin on the bikes.

Today, I finished applying to a few jobs; then did all my classwork for the week. My writing class is fun and I'm learning; but, it takes a lot more time than I ever expected. I'm really glad I choose the online class; because I get to do all my work on my own time, well sort-of. We have assignments every week. The assignments are due by the end of the week. Since I didn't want to "work" while I am in Crested Butte, I had to do all the school work today.

After I finished the school, I left the house to go for a swim. The swim was a good. Then after the swim, I meet some friends to go to Eldora for a skate ski race. The race was hard for me this week perhaps I shouldn't have done two workouts in a row and/or I should have eaten after the swim. Lately, I haven't been hungry so I forget to eat. I didn't realized that I hadn't had anything to eat since 1 until I got home tonight at 8:00. That's a long time to go without eating especially while training.

That's it for this week... off to Crested Butte for some downhill skiing!
