Reconnected, Finally

Our phone and internet went out during a storm on Tuesday night. Qwest finally came out and fixed it yesterday. Saturday. Maybe I am a touch impatient, but really, that was a long wait for what ended up taking 10 seconds to fix. Anyhow, while I was back in the dark ages without any connection to the outside world, I got in some workouts (and some rest days!):

Monday: 3 miles track (not so speedy of a workout because it was HOT)
Tuesday: 3 miles easy, 1 hour kettlebells
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: rest
Friday: 16 miles
Saturday: 1/2 mi. swim/16 mile bike/2 mile run
Sunday: Hard CORE club core workout

Except for those two rest days in the middle of the week, not too bad. I ended up getting a little (or a lot) heat sick during golf Wednesday night, which left me feeling pretty crappy all day Thursday. The heat and humidity has finally broken, so I am planning on getting so good workouts in this week.

I would have gone crazy! When we went to Wisconsin, we had no TV, cell phones or wi fi and it drove me insane. Great job getting 16 miles in!

No internet = no bueno! Awesome week of workouts!

Sometimes it's nice when modern electronics go haywire, I get so much more done when not "parked" in front of the computer!
Nice week of workouts! A 16 miler followed up by a nice little tri the next day-sweet!

Nice to just casually gloss over that you pulled off a sweet little sprint tri the day after running 16 miles ;)

Joy beat me to it but yeah...just a lil sprint tri after a 16 miler. No big deal huh????

I've become pretty dependent on my internet...I hate when we lose the connection even for a few hours.

16 miles is awesome!!

Ok, so it was FREEZING this morning! I am definitely hoping it is not this cold the morning of our tri! Haven't these storms been crazy? I drove through the nasty one that went through Rice las Friday, scary! Take care, hope you have a great week!

I don't know what we did before cable and the internet! It's sad really! LOL!

Nice job this week! And I think you need to start adding golf to your weekly round-up, it is exercise you know!
Have a great week!!!

I would have gone crazy without internet for that long! Glad they have you re-connected.

Nice workouts for the week. Enjoy the more reasonable weather this week. (I am so over the humidity!)

Nice workout schedule for a crazy, no-power week. I'm hoping that our breaks in the hot mugginess of summer might "take" and turn into a cooler fall. Somehow exercise will be a lot easier when it gets cooler.

Nice training week despite the heat--I am so sick of it, but hate to complain cuz it'll be freezing before we know it.
