This was an unexpectedly odd week.  I finally got out of the Midwest late on Tuesday after two flight cancellations and so many near-missed-my-flight moments in the hours leading up to my departure (thank you Chicago construction & ill-timed plowing).  Work was a bit of bear so the days were long.  On Friday when I was finally about to fall asleep the building fire alarms went off and I awoke in horror that our building shared the same fate as the Avalon.  I grabbed my suitcase, computer bag, and snapped a photo of my bike on the way out, just in case the insurance company required it.  That adrenaline rush kept me up until 4:30 a.m., thank you very much.  Thankfully I had a really delicious din with a friend and that kinda made up for the dramas.

Anyhow, with respect to last week's goals I realized deviating from routine really makes an impact.  I only swam once and ran once (both were good, though), and my nutrition while away was decent, but not nearly as spot-on as when I am cooking at home.  So my goals for this week will remain the same: a) complete Jeff's exercises, b) be consistent in the pool and on the bike, and c) quickly get back into routine.

So far I'm off to a good start following an awesomely productive weekend - feeling properly set up for the week ahead.
