This is a CRAZY BUSY week for us - and really crunch time for race prep!
Today I am only working til noon, then I have an appointment til 1, scarf down lunch, go get Collin, get to the dentist by 1:50 and we both have appointments for our cleanings. I really should go back to work but that is doubtful. I need to run to the grocery store, home to cook.
Tomorrow Chris is getting his wisdom teeth removed. It's also Election Day so I am off of work. We will get up early and leave the house early and go vote before being at the doctor's office by 730 am. Then I will be waiting on him hand and foot all day!
Wednesday and Thursday are relatively normal, with the added PACKING FOR THE BEACH in the evenings!! Friday morning we leave bright and early for the Outer Banks!!
Eats MUST MUST MUST be super clean this week. Here is what the wo schedule will look like...
m total body strength
t run (3.5m)
w total body strength
th run (2.5 m)
f rest
s rest
su 13.1 BABY!
In addition to the above, I will be doing a segment of stretch max each night.
I AM SO NERVOUS, BUT ALSO SO READY!!!

Klaudia - I'm with you on the fresh start today ! I went to the store and got everything for a salad FULL of veggies ! I noticed lately my diet is lacking in them.
How long have you been tapping ?
I took tap for years when I was a kid. I LOVED it !
I'm waiting to see what Cathe posts. I just finished my workout & did CC#3 on the bike and med ball abs .

Good Morning Everyone!
This time change is killing me. I am usually okay in the fall but I can barely stay up at night. Then I was starving before my workout this morning. I am sure I will adjust in a couple of days.
Some good news today - I have an interview today at 5 and I received a call back from someone I interviewed with at the beginning of October. He wants to try to hire me in the next couple of weeks but he is waiting for an RFP (request for proposal) from the government and he needs mgmt approval to hire me. The RFP should come out this week and his manager is out until Wed. I really hope it works out but there are a couple of if's in there. I guess I can hope the interview this afternoon goes well.
This month's rotation will be FF January rotation. If Cathe posts something I really like, then I will start it next week.
Klaudia, how about muscle max as a workout?
Becky, I am waiting for Cathe's rotation too but I had to do something this morning since I have an interview later today.
Nina, great salad idea. I am not a fan of chickpeas (unless they are mashed like in Indian food) but I can sub white beans.
Robin, your workout is definitely double trouble.
Katie, if you need any meal suggestions for Chris let me know. He may not be able to eat soup until the Novocaine wears off.
Off to try to get some work done today.

Hey, Colleen, good luck at your interview! I hope whichever position is the best fit for you is the one that works out.
Becky, good job on the work out! I need to do that today, too. I skipped Saturday and Sunday. I should have worked out yesterday, but the couch sucked me in with a good book. Oh, and I'm the tap dancer. Klaudia's girls all take dance, but I don't think any of them tap. Do they, Kl?
Kl, does Danica do Brownies? I'm guessing no since she dances so much. Did you have fun with your family over for Halloween?
Robin, don't you love good sleep? It's the best thing ever, I think. And with the time change I got to lay around in bed even longer than usual yesterday morning.
Nina, you sound good today! Just a few more days until DH is back, right? Where did he go this time?
Katie, don't be nervous! If I can do half, anybody can. Okay, maybe not anybody, but I didn't even train, remember? You'll do great! Try to enjoy the moment, k?
Kate, where are you today? I thought things were settling down now.
Lisa, I read the weekend posts--it sounds like P party went well, that's so great. You must be relieved that it's over, though. I know I always am after a big event like that.
Hi to Wendy and there's someone else I missed.
So, this weekend went pretty well. The memorial for my FIL was very nice and it was good to see J's family. They're so sweet, too--they told him as long as we're not fighting I'm welcome at all future family gatherings. He thinks they like me better than him. I think he's right.
I was supposed to work out and clean up the plants on my deck yesterday, but I laid on the couch and read a book instead. I did make jambalaya for dinner last night and I have lots of leftovers to eat all week, so that will make eating better easier. I need to get on track with that. It's hard when it's just me, ya know?
This afternoon I have to go sign the divorce papers. As you can imagine, I'm not looking forward to it. But I had him schedule it for the end of the day because I may well be a red-faced, blotchy mess when it's done. I didn't want to have to come into work after that. So, I'll go home and do a Timesaver work out, then I have tap tonight. Hopefully that will be enough to distract me.
Have a good Monday, everyone!

Anne so sorry about the papers. You'll get through this.
Colleen I hope the job comes through for you.
Becky good workout. I need to get back into CC. I have 4. This month I'm finishing up meso 2 and then take a week of recovery. Then alternate meso 3 with kettlebells. This should take me into the new years. OR maybe I'll buy Jari Love workouts and figure a rotation with that.
Klaudia take pics of the little Brownies....I love miss.
----------
My double-trouble workout done and I burned 712 cals. The good news is that I've improved pull up/chin ups. I went from doing
pull ups 7-10 reps to 12 reps. Some how I have to continue with this during meso 3.
