Studying, Dropping and Soreness....Oh My

Studying.......As I studied this morning on my bike trainer I felt, for a moment, like I actually know something. I am powering through my piles and piles of flashcards and research studies and every now and then feel like I am actually getting somewhere. However, last night.....that was another story. It's interesting to me how very little I can "get in" to my head after a day of work, yet this morning I was breezing through some of the material. I know I just have to power through all of this and keep pushing myself.
Dropping.......My clumsy ways continue, as the picture below dictates I have now dropped and broken a full sized glass. As it stands my shiny NEW cobalt blue Seattle shot glass (Thanks Bubba!) is literally kept in a padded box so that I can't break another one. Dare I ask...what's next?
Soreness.....My mileage has been bumping up and now that I am in week 4 of 9 the training plan has me backing off. Last week my mileage totaled 41 miles and this week it drops to 34. It's weird. Although, between the speed work and my times dropping my body is letting me know. I am hoping for a recovery week and am trying to kick the rest of whatever bug had me on Saturday.
Already Wednesday!
Woohoo.....I could definitely use more 4 day work weeks....and 3 day weekends :)
