Week 27

Deployment Recap: It's all downhill from here...

Emotional: Happy. Loved. Stable. It was a great week.

Physical: Exhausted- I can’t figure out what it is, but I need to find some balance between running and CrossFit soon before I hit the higher mileage weeks and am too tired to do anything at all. I had a great, fast run on Tuesday night with a different local running group and then took a couple days off from everything. I got a massage on Friday which was heavenly. Then Saturday morning I ran a hard & fast 5k in honor of my birthday. It was fun.

Communication: Lots of phone calls and some FaceTime while the boat was in their final port visit of the deployment. I can’t express how fun it was to hear from Lyle on my birthday.

Something Fun You did This week: EVERYTHING WAS FUN! Massage, Free concert on Friday night, 5k, birthday dinner, running group picnic, IronMan3 on Sunday. I had a great week and weekend.

What are you looking forward to next week: My birthday party on the beach!

What made you happy this week: My amazing, loving family and friends.

What made you sad/mad this week: Losing a family member was tough, even from far away.

What do you miss this week: My dentist. I know that’s weird, but I loved going to see her twice a year. I need a better office out here. I also miss our vet.

Favorite song/show/movie of the moment: More Macklemore.
