Over Christmas week, I was at my parents’ house, hanging out with family, which includes their herd of dogs and cats (so many cute animals to pet!). \u00a0What I wasn’t doing was spending much time on the internet. \u00a0Sure, I checked my email and looked at fun pictures on Facebook, but for the most part, I stayed pretty disconnected.<\/p>\n

And it was awesome. While I love the internet, it’s also nice to be able to get away from it from time to time and not feel the need to stay on top of everything going on.<\/p>\n

Of course, I also did not spend enough time looking at my training plan, so that did not happen, but I got in a few workouts, so I figure it’s better than nothing.<\/p>\n

Tragically, now it’s back to real life. \u00a0Well, sort of. \u00a0I’m working this week, but the majority of my office is still out, so things are likely to be pretty quiet. \u00a0It’s a nice way to ease back in, that’s for sure. \u00a0I’ve got plenty of work to get done this week. \u00a0And fun things like paying my mortgage and booking a bike fit. \u00a0(Santa brought me a power meter because – okay, let’s be honest, my parents bought me a power meter because they are incredible and they support my crazy habit even though I’m convinced they think I’m insane.)<\/p>\n

And now, it’s time for my workday to start. \u00a0But first? \u00a0More coffee.<\/p>\n
