Week in Review (February 10 - February 16)

Tuesday (11,989 steps) - Peloton and Olive walk before going to work in the office. Went to the gym at lunch and did StairMaster, strength training and a short walk on the treadmill. 

Took Olive for a walk when I got home and sauna. We watched some Olympics - men's Freestyle, which was fun. Then Following.

Wednesday (24,173 steps) - Olive walk before work.

Did a walk on the treadmill at lunch. After work I headed up to Boulder for my hill workout. Was starting to feel like I'm coming down with a cold so wasn't looking forward to it. Definitely overdressed, but actually ran "faster" than the last time I did this workout in December. 

Also got to finally try out my new UltrAspire waist light. Different than the Kogalla and will take some getting used to. 

Ben had dinner ready when I got home. Following and early to bed.

Thursday (18,091 steps) - Work from home. Peloton ride in the morning before taking Olive for a longer walk at lunch (had to stop by Tyler's on the way home) and then I did run after. 

Quick upper body and sauna. Met Ben at Torchy's for dinner and an Olive walk. We watched the replay of women's Freestyle finals and then Following, which we finished. The show definitely had room for growth, but it's been nearly a decade since it was on so I guess that's just how it ended. 

Friday (12,289 steps) - Olive walk before going to work in the office. 

MOM, I'M BORED, LET'S WALK NOW

Took Olive for a walk at lunch and finally cashed the savings bonds I've had sitting around for a few years. After work I dropped Olive off at home and met Ben at 4 Noses for NA happy hour and dinner. Watched some Olympics and started a new show - Beast in Me. 

Saturday (33,398 steps) - Lounged around and took Olive for a long walk to the lake. 

We had plans to meet Terri for a run, but I wanted to get some extra mileage, so I did a few miles beforehand. We did a route that I have only done once before - and we had a TON of snow. Weather was much better, albeit a bit warm. 

After the run we went to Mudrocks for lunch - I got a delicious bowl of mac and cheese and actually had to bring half of it home. 

Ben and I took Olive for a walk when we got back home, sauna, watched women's Big Air qualifications and more Beast in Me. 

Sunday (17,041 steps) - Headed up to Boulder for another vert day. Cannot believe how warm it is for mid-February. I used my new UltrAspire Mountain Racer belt for the day. Easily able to carry an 800ml flask (which was basically for Olive). Hoping to use this as an "add-on" to my new Traverse pack for 200s. The new waist light I got is compatible with it, plus there are bungees in the back that can hold poles or extra gear. PLUS, a ton of pockets. 

Absolutely the only square foot of snow we saw the whole time!

Afterwards, we headed to Rails End. There was no food truck so Ben dropped me and Olive off at home and went to Costco to pick up a pizza. Sauna, more Olympics and Best in Me. 

Monday (22,128 steps) - Still feeling sick, so was really glad to sleep late and work from home. I was throwing in a load of laundry when I noticed the utility sink was filled with dirty water. That should have been a clue, but I didn't realize the problem until I went to pull laundry out and the washer didn't drain. UGH - WE JUST HAD THIS ISSUE LAST SPRING. Had to call out a sewer/plumber guy. While I was waiting for him (and Ariel to show up for me to do her taxes), I took Olive for a walk to the lake. At least this time the guy was professional, showed up quickly and got the work done quickly for half the price I was charged last time. Went for my run - another freakishly nice day out, and the run was not bad at all. Showered and finished up my day. After work I went to Jared to get my ring inspected and then home for a walk with Olive. Ben ordered pho for dinner. 

We watched more Olympics - women's Big Air finals and more Beast in Me.
