It's been another hectic week and I'm now beginning to understand how important it is to keep a schedule.  Time sure can get away from you!  I managed to fit in several workouts and even found a pool in Sacramento (where I spent Thanksgiving) to swim in.  In addition to finding the pool, I had my own personal coach (my boyfriend Jeff) to help keep me focused on correct swim strokes.  I finished the swim with a few great laps under my belt and just before the thunderstorm rolled in.  Today, I woke and ran the bike trails of Gold River with Jeff.  Along the way we spotted a couple of deer.  The wind was blowing pretty forcefully and my stomach was heavy with all the delicious food I've been eating, but we managed to get 40 minutes of good running in.  It's been a great visit with Jeff's family, and I'm thankful to be included.  We'll be packing up the car in an hour or so and heading back home to prepare for yet another hectic week!
