Wednesday (17,074 steps) - Work in the office. Headed up to Boulder after work. I had a hill program that I needed a 10-20% grade hill for (oooof). I was pretty shocked by the amount of snow that was still on the trails! Glad I had my Exo Spikes though! I went up Skunk, across Mesa, and then I had to do 4/3/2/1 sprints up Bear. The only one I "failed" at was the first, 4 minute, one. I made it just over 3 before I had to hike the rest of the way up. Overall, however, this went WAY better than I expected. I'm so pleased with how my training has been going working with Greg.
Went back to the store for a few minutes.
Thursday (24,738 steps) - Work from home. Took Olive for a walk at lunch. Still no "bathroom breaks" on walks, which is somewhat frustrating! Never met a dog that sniffed and didn't pee/poop! It was sunny out and the snow by the lake was a lot deeper than I expected.
20 minute core class before cooking dinner.
Friday (14,166 steps) - Wash Park! A small group, and we met a tiny bit later than usual since it's been so cold. We also moved faster since there weren't any dogs with us. Coffee at Stella's with Pete before going into work. Today was the first day that Olive was home all day alone (although A went home at lunch to let her out). I stopped at the grocery store to pick up an online order and took Olive for a walk. I was grateful that nothing seemed destroyed when I got home. Her bow tie that I ordered off Etsy finally came (from the UK!) and it looks adorable on her:
Saturday (36,868 steps) - I was on the fence with doing Runners Edge or something like Waterton for my long run. Turns out Olive would wake me up early enough that I figured I would stick around closer to home for my run. The run was an out and bacon on Sand Creek. I ran the first 3ish miles with Janet (at probably a faster pace than what I would have done alone) and the rest by myself. It was a nice and sunny day, but still pretty chilly and icy/snowy out. Surprised I wore my jacket the whole time!
Stopped on the way home for coffee, then took Olive for a walk.
Came home to a package being delivered with our matching pj's. I'm ridiculous.
Monday (25,927 steps) - Work from home. Up early again (hi, Olive). Picked up Dunkin' for me and A. Took Olive for a walk at lunch and in VERY exciting news, she finally pooped! Still no pee, so we will have to keep working/hoping for that, haha.
Olive had looked so excited when I put on running shoes, I think she thought we were going for a walk. I heard her whimpering when I got home, so I immediately put her harness on and took her out for a bonus walk. Even though the walks aren't "productive," she seems to enjoy them.
We ended up playing some games before/after dinner (checkers and rummikub), which was a LOT of fun, and not something we do often.
Sunday (10,079 steps) - Up very early again (thanks, Olive). Did some reading, then went to brunch with Ben, which was delicious. Took Olive for a walk. Olive finally has figured out the frisbee!! She was having a blast running around the yard with it. So cute!! More reading. Met Ben at Salsa's for some chips and queso before heading home. Went to Costco for gas and ended up going inside and getting some stuff. Did my 25 minutes of core while cooking pizza. Low key night for everyone. What a week.
Had a 90 minute run on schedule, so I headed out just after work. It was "mostly" clear, but a shocking number of people still have incredibly icy sidewalks, and again, every road crossing was treacherous. But it was a really a fantastic run overall. Felt really good the whole time.
