This past week...

Most of the non-work portion of the past week has been pretty good, although I did unfortunately fall behind on several chores. Also, even though I haven't had time today to review my goals, I do know that many were missed again. I'm having trouble finding the motivation to getting myself refocused and back on track, and I'm starting to wonder if maybe I just put too much on my plate. That's something I'll need to look into soon.
Another less-than-ideal thing was the root canal I had mid-week. The procedure was fine, albeit a long appointment (3 hours). However, this morning I started to get some pain in that area that kinda feels like a new infection could be firing up. If it's still progressing in the morning I'll have to call and see if the dentist can take a look.
Running has been decent, despite only getting out twice. Tuesday at run club I finished my 5K only two seconds short of my personal record. On Thursday I did another 5K around home, and proceeded to beat that record by a full 30 seconds. It's only March and I've already reached one of my running goals for the year - I think I'm going to see a lot of progress over the coming months.
I had a very busy weekend with curling. Friday was a normal night, and then Saturday I was in an all-day tournament with a group of good friends (including my goodest good friend). Our three games went well - a tie, then a close loss, and finally a strong win - and we finished fourth out of eight teams. We met a lot of really nice people from other cities in both Canada and the US, and the meals during the day were wonderful as well. I would definitely play in this one again next year.
The downside to having an entire day of enjoyment is that all of my weekend responsibilities had to be consolidated into today. I had a good plan in place, and probably would have been fine getting everything done, except I ran into some friends from my running club while I was having lunch. They were just coming back from a race, and I ended up hanging out with them for a couple hours. It was a fun afternoon, but it also really overloaded the remainder of my day, and I'll have to get a jump on finishing some things as soon as I get home from work tomorrow.
Nothing much on the calendar for the coming week, although I am taking Friday off and hopefully I can use a bit of the day to recharge.
And with that I'll say so long for another week. Until next time. =]
