Caution: Hectic Week Ahead!

This week is going to be challenging. Aside from my standard full-time Mom, employee and professional car-pooler duties, it's my darling daughter's 10th birthday.
We have a small party planned out for Saturday, with out-of-town guests arriving either Friday or Saturday (they never do us the kindness of telling us their plans outside of 24 hours prior), then my daughter and I plan to get our nails done following the party. This year though everything is planned and set for her big day. The only point of anxiety I've got is my dreaded MIL. Her post-retirement tantrums have ramped up to the point now where she and my husband are barely speaking. To say I'm looking forward to her visit is like saying I'm looking forward to a root canal. Without the freezing. Heaven help her if she has one of her tantrums on my 10 year olds birthday.
So to starve off the anxiety I'm diving into my ultra training plan. I've got the mileage built up now so I can feel confident building my ultra base up. This week consists of three 4 milers, a 6 miler long run and a 5 mile recovery run. To complete my grand plan I'm switching into a ketosis diet, one that I've used before with a lot of success. It takes a bit more planning and I have to start treating bread like a treat instead of a staple but it works.
The sun is shining and while it isn't warm it's the perfect mix of fall coolness to go for a run. Today my husband is off so I'm relieved from my carpool duties for the day-an odd treat for me (him...not so much ;-)). On that note I'll try to squeeze in my 6 miler if I can so it's out of the way and I'm not stressing about it come Friday when I may or may not have guests I may or may not need to have supper ready for. Awesome.
