Week in Review (June 9 - June 15)

Tuesday (14,593 steps) - Peloton and Olive walk (with Ben!) before going to work. 
Gym at lunch for StairMaster, weights and a treadmill walk. 

Went for another quick walk in the afternoon just to get out of the office. Olive walk when I got home from work. Ariel came over for dinner and to spend the night! Good Fight.
Wednesday (21,861 steps) - Olive walk before work. Ariel was taking Olive to HER work for the day, fun! 
Olive the intern!
Long walk at lunch. After work I went home to change and Ben and I went to the lake for my hill workout. Even though it was 90 degrees it wasn't horrible. 
After dinner I took Olive for another walk. Good Fight.
Thursday (18,433 steps) - Ugh, I woke up hours before I needed to be up - annoying!! Finished the book I was reading and went for my run. It was quite a nice morning and the run went well, but a heart rate glitch early in the run had Garmin giving me a horrible performance score - good thing it doesn't actually matter. 
Got my strength training in and Ben and I took Olive for a long walk to the lake at lunch. Did a delivery before meeting Ben at Torchy's for our normal Thursday dinner date. Got another good offer on my way home and unfortunately closed my thumb in my car door (??) - hurt so bad and my thumb immediately turned purple and began to swell. Olive walk and packed for our weekend camping trip before more Good Fight.
Friday (16,091 steps) - Once again, up early. That meant we had time to go to Wash Park for the group walk before going to work. 
Olive and I went for our lunch walk early to beat the heat. 
I left work a little bit early so I could do last minute packing and we could head up to Summit County to hopefully avoid traffic. I still had to bring my laptop to work in the car for about a half hour, but it was better than nothing. Thankfully there was basically no traffic and we were on the road in no time. Of course our first stop was Outer Range, but we didn't stay too long and we were at our campsite by 7 with plenty of time for Ben to make dinner - hot dogs! 

Long day and we didn't stay up late. 
Saturday (28,602 steps) - Quick lap around the campground with Olive and coffee before I headed out for an hour(ish) run on the rec path. 

We had hoped to do a fun loop up near Ten Mile, but the road we needed to go up was closed. Instead, we drove up Miner's Creek and did a figure 8 loop that I created off Gaia. It was pretty great! Seemed to be relatively primitive single track and we only saw one bike the whole time! 












First columbine of the year!!
Outer Range, and I had an ahi tuna bowl. Lee came by the campsite to hang out for a bit to hang out, burgers for dinner. 
We had a little bit of rain on and off and we were in bed even EARLIER. 
Sunday (14,951 steps) - Quick Olive walk around the campsite and coffee. We had been on the fence about heading home and I decided I'd rather go home. We opted to go into Frisco and do a "quick" trip up to Mt. Royal. While I've been on the lower trails plenty of times, I've only been to the summit of Royal once. 


This is the tallest sign I've ever seen


We hurried back to load up the camper since check out was 11 am. Stopped by Outer Range for a quick lunch before going home. 
Surprisingly little traffic for leaving around 12:30 on a Sunday! Got everything unpacked and spent the afternoon unwinding from the weekend. Ben ordered in pizza for dinner and Good Fight.
Monday (22,195 steps) - Olive walk in the morning with Ben before I logged in for the day. Ben and I went for an easy late morning run.
We also took Olive for a long walk. All the cacti are blooming AND we saw our first owls of the year - much later than usual and we have been worried about them! 

I have been talking about it for ages, but I finally went through and decided to retire a bunch of running shoes. I seem to be collecting them and these are ones that I just haven't been wearing. I have been hesitant to get rid of them because they still "seem fine" - but it just doesn't really make sense to hold on to them. 
After work I did a few deliveries and then Ben and I walked down the street for an impromptu sushi dinner! 
Took Olive for another walk when we got back. Relaxing and Good Fight.
