Week in Review (January 20 - January 26)

Tuesday (10,482 steps) - Having napped on and off at the airport, I didn't exactly jump up refreshed to start the day. At some point I decided to wander and find coffee and something for breakfast. I ended up getting a latte and a cinnamon roll. Both good, but I did wonder why they didn't heat up my cinnamon roll. 
I sat in a food court area and tried to start my race report and check emails since I still had a relatively long time before my flight was departing. At some point I checked the board and my gate had moved to a different terminal. Glad I looked! Walked over there and really just paced around to ensure I would get all my steps in for the day. Our flight boarded on time and I was in a great seat on Alaska, right behind first class. So lots of leg room! 
Flight was uneventful (and thankfully seemed short). Watched a few episodes of Gossip Girl. Landed on time and got my bag pretty quickly. Hopped on the train and met Ben at the station near his work. Sat there for about 45 minutes while he finished getting some work done before we headed towards the house. Shower and then took Olive for a walk. By the time I got back it was already getting dark. I told Ben I wanted to nap for a few minutes. Lost an hour (?) or so - ugh, so tired! Threw in laundry and got all my stuff unpacked. Ben got Panda delivered and we attempted to watch "Greenland," but apparently I feel asleep about 10 minutes into it. 
Wednesday (11,058 steps) - Unfortunately, had to go to work. Took Olive for a walk and headed in. An incredibly busy morning, especially since Joyce scheduled a signing for the afternoon, so I had to get all those documents prepped, in addition to looking at everything from the 10 days I was out. Went to the gym at lunch and did a mobility/stretching video and walked on the treadmill. Got out of work a few minutes late and rushed home to let Olive out. Ben and I headed to Olde Town because New Image brewed a new NA Hazy IPA that I wanted to try. 
I completely forgot they had moved locations. New spot is... nice, but the vibe of the brewery has changed completely. Not sure we will be back, honestly. We stopped at Schoolhouse for dinner - yum, mac n cheese! 
Home and more Greenland, although once again, I fell asleep before it was over. Movie isn't even that long!!
Thursday (10,202 steps) - Work from home. Ariel showed up with a surprise coffee for me, which was a fun surprise. Got caught up on all my work and then met Ariel at Costco in Arvada for pizza and to pick up groceries. Took Olive for a long walk to the lake, cold front is definitely on it's way in. Ugh. Sat in the sauna late afternoon since our email was down at work. Drove to meet Ben at Torchy's for dinner. Once back at home we finished Greenland and I fell asleep on the couch for the third night in a row.
Friday (10,410 steps) - Took Olive for a walk earlier than usual since it was REALLY cold out and I didn't want to walk with frozen hair. Took Olive to work and went for our normal walk at lunch - it was REALLY COLD. And unfortunately, it is supposed to be like this all weekend. Boo. Dropped Olive off at home, did a delivery, and met Ben at 4 Noses for happy hour. Dinner and an episode of South Park. Pretty sure I fell asleep on the couch again.
Saturday (16,563 steps) - Tyler had plans to do burrito loops in Boulder in an attempt to win an entry to Leadville. It was definitely cold outside, but I pitched the idea to Ben and he didn't shoot it down. Took Olive for a very short block walk before we headed up to the store. I asked if I would be able to give my entry to Tyler if I won and they didn't seem to have a problem with it. It was cold, but not HORRIBLE, so Ben and I ended up doing a little over 4 miles of run/walk - which is a lot more than I thought I would. 
We went to lunch with Kevin and Melanie at Illegal Pete's before going back to the store to do a couple more walking loops. 
Stopped at 4 Noses on the way home and then home to walk Olive and get in the sauna. Ben picked up pizza for dinner. Following?
Sunday (11,548 steps) - Another cold morning. I still would need to get in my steps and didn't think that it would be fun trying to walk Olive for a long time, so I decided to go for a short run while Ben went to pick us up Dutch Bros. The run itself wasn't bad, but Garmin gave me a -5. Gee, thanks!! 
Took Olive for a walk when I got home. Quick shower and then we went to Rails End for treat town and to watch the first half of the Broncos game. We left at halftime and managed to get home right as the wind and snow picked up. 
I guess this is officially holiday/football food these days
After the Broncos lost we also watched the Seahawks game. Following.
Monday (10,767 steps) - Work from home! I was supposed to have a dentist appointment but woke up to a message that the dental office had flooding and was going to be closed. Wonderful. Met Ariel at Big O so she could have her brake sensor looked at. We picked up coffee at Ziggi's before I had to head back home for more work. Took Olive for a long walk at lunch. Finally above freezing, but of course that meant it was windy. Boo. Did a few deliveries after work, took Olive for another walk. Dinner and more Following!

  • 81,030 steps
  • 7.24 miles run
