Week in Review (September 2 - September 8)

Tuesday (10,702 steps) - Walked Olive before going to work in the morning. Gym at lunch - Peloton ride and a half hour on the treadmill at 12%. Took Olive for a walk when I got home. Dinner and Bosch!

Wednesday (17,040 steps) - Walked Olive before going to work in the office. Went for a run at lunch and it was a lot warmer outside than I expected, so it wasn't great. 

Took Olive for a walk when I got home. Ben’s birthday!! We drove down to Malone’s for dinner to meet up with Ariel - a good time!

Bosch!

Thursday (10,389 steps) - Work from home. Spent the morning doing laundry and cleaning. Debated going for a run and decided to just take Olive for a long walk instead. 

Did a delivery after work and met Ben at Torchy's for dinner. Skipped an evening walk because it the air quality is garbage with all the smoke. Bosch!

Friday (10,560 steps) - Had to skip a morning walk since I had my appointments at National Jewish. First up I had the echocardiogram, followed by a pulmonary function test (I should actually say testS since there were quite a few things that had to be done. Hoping to get some answers and treatment plan in place before next summer's adventures. 

Headed into the office. Worked until about 1:30 when I headed home so that I could take Olive on a longer walk. Finished out work at home. Met Ben at Parry's for a beer and dinner. 

Ben and I took Olive for a walk before more Bosch!

Saturday (11,464 steps) - Actually managed to sleep in. Decided we would do a small section of Dirty Biz for a run, only to discover that part of the trail we wanted to use is closed for two months for cow grazing. That's new. 

Went with Ben to pick up some parts for his truck and then checked out a new brewery that was nearby. Not the best beer (but not the worst) and they do allow dogs inside, we will have to remember that! 

Stopped at Salsa's on the way home for lunch. 

Ben has determined the food is too salty for us to ever go back. Sad. Took Olive for a walk. Worked on packing, ordered in Panda Express for dinner and Bosch!

Sunday (10,449 steps) - Slept in again! Ben picked up Dutch Bros. We decided to go to Golden for our hike/Olive activity. We walked along the creek path and then hiked up Chimney Gulch to Lookout and then jogged down. 

We ran into Tanessa - random! Walked back on the creek path to the truck and headed to New Terrain since the Blaster beer is on tap. Picked up more beer on the way home and then had another Bosch marathon.

Monday (11,932 steps) - Slept kinda terrible and got up much earlier than I needed to. Ben was going in to work late since he needed to drop off his truck, so he went with me on an Olive walk before I logged in for work. Took Olive for a long walk at lunch to the lake and did a short Peloton ride to keep my streak. Spent the afternoon packing and working. After work I went to Target to pick up my new inhaler - hopefully this will help with some of the breathing issues I’ve been having. Did a delivery on my way home. Ben and I went to Golden to see if we could do a temporary fix of A’s car - we were able to disable the horn for now, who knows what work we will have to get done to stop the random honking. Parry’s for dinner and an episode of Bosch.

Week in Review (August 5 - August 11)

Tuesday (13,382 steps) - Walked Olive before going to work in the office. Normally I go to the gym on Tuesdays, so I still went. I did about 20 minutes of walking with incline on the treadmill while reading my book and then did a pilates video. 

After work I met Ben at Costco. We picked up a pizza for dinner and groceries for the first time in weeks. A horrifically hot day.

Took Olive for another walk to get my steps in. Bosch.

Wednesday (10,133 steps) - Walked Olive before going to work in the office. Didn't know what to do at lunch. I went for a walk (outside!!) even though it was nearly 100 degrees. Then I went to the gym and did a Peloton ride and a 30 minute strength video. After work took Olive for a walk and Ben made stir fry for dinner. Bosch.

Thursday (18,112 steps) - Work from home. I decided to go for a short run. It was sorta slow and didn't feel great, but also didn't feel horrible, so I'll call that a win. 

Took Olive for a walk right after since it was supposed to be crazy hot again. 

Met Ariel at Dutch for a coffee. After work Ariel and I went to the mall (egads, I haven't intentionally gone to a mall to shop in MANY years) to try on dresses for Lisa's wedding. Thankfully, we were successful at Dillard's. We also went to DSW and picked up some shoes. Met Ben at Torchy's for dinner. 

Took Olive for another walk. Bosch.

Friday (12,829 steps) - Bailed on the group walk but took Olive for a long walk at the lake before going to work in the office. Uneventful, slow day. Took Olive for a walk at lunch. 

Actually did a few deliveries after work before going home to make dinner. Bosch.

Saturday (20,693 steps) - Went out for a run, not really sure on where I was going to go or how long. I ended up running to the north side of the lake (which I typically do not enjoy), but it was actually not bad.

I rarely run the dirt road back, but did this time, and it was also not that bad. The last mile is so steep to the house. I felt pretty nauseous when I got home so I had to sit for a few minutes before I could take Olive for her walk. It does appear that leaves are changing?!

Went to 4 Noses with Ben, disheartened that they had no NA beer OR Topo Chico. WTF! We got a snack from the food truck - brussels sprouts!

I was pretty hungry when we got home, so made a taco bowl. More Bosch.

Sunday (14,013 steps) - Did nothing most of the morning. Ben and I took Olive for a walk to the lake. Decided I would go for a short run (mainly because I was otherwise going to struggle getting my steps in). Run was short and not awful!

Took a shower and then Ben and I headed to 4 Noses to meet up with Kristin, Tyler and Jeramiah. It was really good to see everyone, even though wasn't really in the mood for beer. We did pick up ramen from the food truck, delicious like always. 

Ben went to Costco to pick up a pizza (it is the last day the food court is open for TWO MONTHS, what are we going to do?!) More Bosch.

Monday (19,907 steps) - Worked for a bit before taking Olive for a long walk to the lake. Didn't see any owls, but saw a whole tree of birds that looked like vultures or condors?

Had to drop Olive off at the groomers, so I went up the street for a trail run. I had planned to hopefully do about 5 miles on the Coalton trail and hoped it wouldn't be miserable. Spoiler - it wasn't! It was actually a pretty great run!

Did a cool down walk and was headed back to the car when I got the notification that Olive was ready to be picked up. Like always, she was so happy to see me!

After work I did a delivery and then headed back home. Took Olive for a walk before dinner. Ben made grilled pork and vegetables, it was delicious! More Bosch!
