Tuesday (11,232 steps) - Peloton ride (REALLY enjoyed the David Guetta!) and core workout before work in the office. Nothing else, except Pika turned 12 years old!
Wednesday (15,199 steps) - Work in the office. Went for a walk at lunch. After work I headed over to a new to me brewery, Raices for run club with Mo! I got there early so I read my book and had a beer while I waited for the run to start.
The run was not the best. It was very hot and humid and I definitely walked more than I would have liked. Plus, the bike path in this part of town is pretty sketchy.
It's always fun hanging out with Mo and other friends, though!
And for fun, here are random pictures of Batman and Robin, because they looked pretty darn cute and were actually sitting close to each other (which doesn't happen that often).
Thursday (13,477 steps) - Work from home! Pika walk at lunch. Nothing too exciting, other than I decided to sign up for Cocodona 250 redemption. Womp... Worked at second job, and it wasn't very busy and I managed to get out a little before closing time, so I met Ben for a beer.
Friday (4,535 steps) - I had an alarm set but surprise, I woke up before it went off. I was already all packed and ready to go, so it didn't take long to get out of the house. The drive to the race start (where I planned on "camping") was about 8.5 hours. There was surprisingly not any traffic up north, but once I got into Wyoming it was one construction zone after another. I stopped at Bitter Creek Brewing in Rock Springs for a beer, which was ok, but not great. It was the only place that was open, so I didn't have much of a choice. The next time I stopped was in Alpine at Melvin Brewing. I got some Cajun food (risky, but that's what the food truck was) and a beer.
They have a pretty great tap room, but the indoor seating is minimal and they don't seem to have air conditioning because it was HOT in there. I had a minimal amount of trouble finding the race start, but I think it's because I overcomplicated things. PUTS had released an email that said to watch out for the banners off the road, and even though I "knew" I should have been going up the canyon further I turned at the first set of flags and ended up at an aid station. I managed to get to the start without issue after that, and parked near the cabin I had paid for. SKETCHY.
The bathrooms were pretty sketchy too, but at least they had soap and running water.
I headed up to the lodge to pick up my packet. Pretty pleased to find out I was also getting a pair of Smartwool socks. Woo!! I was texting with Ben about my murder cabin and he decided to book me a hotel room in Alpine. (I would have actually been fine "camping" here since it's not like I sleep anyway...) Stuck around for the pre-race meeting. Didn't learn anything new, but the race director was pretty awesome. Headed back to town and stopped at the gas station to fill up and get some food. There was a Little Ceasar's in there so I got a $5 pizza for dinner. Wooo!
Got to the hotel and the gals at the front desk were pretty funny - I guess when Ben called to reserve the room he told them he thought I was going to end up like someone in the movie "Hostel." Drank a beer and watched some tv and tried to go to bed early. Had a hard time falling asleep AND staying asleep. Usually that's part stress of worrying about oversleeping and being too warm, but the hotel room was actually fine because I had turned the AC all the way down.
I left the race and drove back to Melvin. The patio was pretty crowded, but a couple gals let me sit at their table. After a post-race beer I headed back to the hotel. I REALLY needed a shower - look at this dirt tan!
There was a steakhouse in the hotel, so I ordered a burger and fries for takeout.
Went back to my room and had another beer and watched some tv. I went to bed relatively early without setting an alarm.
Sunday (3,669 steps) - Woke up around 7:30 and figured I needed to start the LONG drive home. I stopped at the gas station on the way out to get a coffee and something to eat. Little Ceasar's actually had weird crazy bread "calzone" sandwiches, but it wasn't very good and I didn't end up finishing it. The drive home seemed even longer, if possible. I made it all the way to Rawlings before I stopped to get a beer. Unfortunately the only IPA they had was a double at 9.5%, so I settled for an ale, that was just kind of meh.
Got to town earlier than planned and met Ben at 4 Noses. Had a beer and some food before heading home. Tyler came over later for a beer.
Monday (11,943 steps) - Peloton ride before work (two-for-one Lizzo ride was FUN!). Exciting day at our house. Took Ariel for her driving test - which of course, she PASSED! Took Pika for a walk, and then in the afternoon went to the DMV so she could get her driver's license.
She did her first solo drive - meeting a friend at the gym down the street. Where has the time gone?? I've been maintaining this blog since 2010, since she was FOUR YEARS OLD. Crazy. Worked at the second job. Right from the start it was crazy busy and it was just me and the new Assistant Manager working. I had a very stressful shift since 1/3 of my deliveries did not tip. Then I got back at the end of the night to find out that no one had done any dishes and I had a lot of work still to do. I was NOT happy and quit after my shift was over. I went through and added up all the money I made in the shifts I worked and it was pretty pathetic and barely covered gas. Over it.
Stats:
- 125,250 steps
