Training recap week of 6/24 and 7/1 (DLH / DDD Week 9 & 10)

Hello again.  I'm back.  Me who said I would post during my vacation and then did not.  Oops.  I thought about it every day, but then I would put my computer away (if I even got it out) and go back to hanging with the family.

The time off was nice.  It was nice to disconnect, spend time with family and do some thinking.  It was just so enjoyable.  The weddings were fun and I came back so relaxed - until I landed at LGA and discovered my baggage did not make the journey back with me.  So there goes my relaxed mood.  It's been 36 hours and I still have not received my bag.  I am so annoyed.  That bag contains both pairs of my running shoes (is it sad that I am most annoyed about that fact?).  Keep your fingers crossed that it shows up.  Just a word of advice - don't fly American.  Ugh.

So anyways, I clearly missed last weeks training recap, so I am going to do both Week 9 and 10 today (sorry in advance for the long post).  Week 9 marked the half way point of my training program.  Holy cow.  I can't believe it is already halfway done (over halfway now).  It feels like it was just starting.
