One of the last scheduled goose-eggs for me. It has been hard to show restraint this week, but I know from past experience that the conservative approach is best for me. I am excited for next week ... many days of running, I will finally be able to eat an almost full plate of food again without worrying how many calories it has on it ;-). Note-to-self: I am getting a little too compulsive about weight, need to work on that.
I really really need to work on hydrating more. Even though I am not running much this week, it is going to catch up with me next week when I am running longer than 30 mins in this heat. 2 weeks now of 100F and more (high 106F so far) every single day. It is both better and worse than I had anticipated it would be.
I have three weeks to get my grant done - I will be working until very very late pretty much every night until then. Might even remind me of being a student agian, probably a good thing seeing how I am teaching a really hard class in the fall, it will be nice to the students if their type of pain is fresh in my memory ;-). Well, these days things aren't really "fresh in my memory" if it happened more than a couple of hours ago ;-). Which reminds me, I met with a group of collaborators the other day and they were describing a grant that I had worked on about 3 weeks ago (ok, I worked on 7 grants during the same time period, but still 3 weeks ago). I said, " I don't think I saw the final version of the grant, didn't we take that genomics bit out?" -- they said, "no, would you like us to send you the grant?". Well, when I recieved the copy and started reading it I thought wow, who wrote that methods section, that looks pretty good ... well, it was me!! My initials were all over the track changes and some of the verbage was stuff I always use (like referencing my own papers he he he)!! I couldn't remember doing it!! I am getting super bad.
Happy racing bloggers, I am so excited for all of you!! HUGS and LUCK to all of you!! |
