Week in Review (November 2 - November 8)

Monday (13,188) - Olive walk before starting work. Got distracted right out of the front door because there was an eviscerated bunny in the yard. It was a chilly morning, again. Did a short Peloton ride. At lunch it was time to take Olive to the groomer for a haircut.  When I was backing out of the driveway I noticed a giant hawk ripping apart what remained of the bunny. Nothing left but some tufts of fur.

It was cold and dreary and I was cursing myself for not going for my run earlier when it seemed nicer out. I put on what I thought was way too much clothes, but actually was perfect for a 3ish mile run. This felt harder than the last few days - guess I still need some rest.

Went to pick Olive up - as always, she looks so adorable!

Also got Goosie dressed up for November.

When I was done with work I took Olive for another walk around the block. It was basically dark by the time we got back. Stupid daylight savings. 

Sauna time, and read some more of my book.

Dinner, and then it was time for more Sheriff Country. This show is like a soap opera.

Tuesday (steps) - Peloton and Olive walk before going to work. Some excitement when we came upon a coyote just a few houses down from our house. Olive went NUTS.

Traffic wasn't horrible and I got to work a little early. Went to the gym at lunch for some strength training and a quick walk on the treadmill. I had an interview in the afternoon and I walked to/from it. Cautiously optimistic and I really liked the manager I spoke with. After work I took Olive for another walk. Ben ordered in Mod Market for dinner.

Sherriff Country.

Wednesday (22,817 steps) - Olive walk before work. Went for my run during lunch. First off, I forgot my sports bra, so I had to run in my regular one. Second issue was it was much warmer than I thought it would be and I got really hot - but since I didn't have a sports bra I was stuck with what I was wearing. Ugh.

Cool down walk before going back to work. Drove to Louisville for run club at Runners Roost. Ben brought Olive and we had a nice walk around the mesa. Terri is having surgery on her meniscus soon so wanted to get in a meet up before that happened.

Picked up Panda for dinner on the way home. Apparently, we didn't have any new episodes of our show, so we rented Coyote vs. Acme. It was cute!

Thursday (18,519 steps) - Olive walk before starting work for the day. Easy run at lunch.

And of course a walk to the lake with Olive.

Hit up the rower when I got back - haven't used it since the summer! Ariel showed up and spent the afternoon with me, which was nice. Torchy's dinner date and then we started watching The Wilds.

Friday (12,802 steps) - Olive walk before going to work.

Earlier in the week I had already made plans to walk with Erica at lunch but got a surprise call that she was ready earlier - she apparently lost her job!! Basically, as soon as I got back to the office, Mala called to tell me that she heard back on my interview and was told "had a great interview but we aren't moving forward." WTH?? Ben came by in the afternoon to grab the treadmill from me since we are moving offices in a few months, and I don't think it would fit in my car. Walked Olive around the block.

Ben ordered in burgers for dinner - yum! 

The Wilds.

Saturday (23,303 steps) - Took Olive for a quick walk around the block before Ben and I headed down to Bear Creek to meet up with Christina!  Since I didn't have a very long run planned, we were going to do about 6 miles together. I don't get to run with other people often and I really enjoyed this. 

The lake is SO LOW

When we got back home I took Olive for a walk to the lake. 

Then we went to meet Tanessa at Almost Home to visit with a few kitties - we may be getting two! Afterwards we went to Resolute. Took Olive for another walk when we got back home and Ben ordered in Dominos. More The Wilds!

Sunday (18,766 steps) - Did some cleaning and organizing. Now that we have an executive membership we went to Costo when they opened. It's definitely not as horrible going at 9. Olive and I met Ariel at North Table for a hike. TONS of people out, we got the last two parking spaces. The weather was absolutely wonderful, so made sense. 

Rachina met me there to drop off the Javelina shirt she picked up for me. Olive and I went back to Resolute to meet up with Ben and Tyler for lunch and to watch the end of the Broncos game. 

Took Olive for another walk when we got back to the house. 

The Wilds marathon!
