Week in Review (March 3 - March 9)

Tuesday (17,776 steps) - Core class during lunch. Off week for Rev Run and there was an event at Berkeley Park, so I opted to do a speed workout at the lake. 

I picked a run that had blocks of 8 minutes easy pace and 2 minutes at marathon pace and did that five times. I had planned on six, but ran out of time. I assume I did the 2 minutes MRP way too fast, but that actually felt better than running slow.

Stopped to finalize A's cookie sales, only to find out she is only a few dozen boxes away from 750 boxes, so we will be selling a few more cookies after all.
Wednesday (18,266 steps) - Upper body class during lunch. Runners Roost Boulder! When I got home from work Pika was limping, so we opted to leave her at home. We were too late to run the trail run, so Kristin, Ringo, me and A just ran the 5K(ish) road run.

Thursday (11,538 steps) - Core class during lunch. No run as Ariel had an orchestra performance.

Friday (11,126 steps) - Went to lunch with Nicole at lunch! Met Carrie at Station 26 after work to discuss initial wedding plans.

Then I met up with Ben for happy hour. For the first time, we left 4 Noses without getting beer because the on tap selection was so poor. We ended up going to Marco's for a beer and picking up pizza.
Saturday (29,251 steps) - Off week for Rev Run, so Kristin, Ariel and I headed down to Cherry Creek to run with Runners Edge. Ariel walked with Pete and I headed out with Lisa, Jill and Kristin. None of us had the map loaded into a watch and we ended up going way off course after about 4 miles. I had planned on 12 miles and ended up settling for just over 10.

We went out to breakfast with a group of people at the Original Pancake House. Delicious!!

Took Pika for a walk, then met up with Liz and James at Odd 13. We invited Greg and we all had a lovely time in the spring sunshine.

On the way home we finally checked out the new CD's Wings place - and it was delicious!
Sunday (26,957 steps) - Met up with Kristin, Lisa and Jandy to run the Morrison-Red Rocks-Dinosaur Ridge loop. I was much slower than the last time we ran, but it was fun to run with friends again.

Went over to Coda Brewing and met up with Ben and the Berkeley trail group for some beers. Dropped off cookies on the way home and then we stopped at New Image before heading home to watch the Walking Dead.

Monday (12,630 steps) - Lower body class during lunch. After work took Pika for a walk before heading to the annual HOA meeting. Exciting stuff!

Stats:

• 127,544 steps
• 29.1 miles run
• 4 gym classes

Week in Review (December 24 - December 30)

Tuesday (16,743 steps) - SLEPT IN!! So happy to have a bonus day off. Headed to Boulder for run club. Not a big turnout, I guess a lot of people had to work. For the trail run it was just me, Ariel, Ben, Pika, Becca & Izzy. The lower trails were in pretty decent shape, but Mesa was really muddy.

Ben still had Christmas shopping to do, so we took Pika home and gave her a bath, which she did not enjoy.

Picked up Qdoba for dinner, then we all made sugar cookies. Fun night! (Also, please explain to me why I can bake all sorts of things, and $2.99 slice n' bake cookies are so difficult?)

Wednesday (18,692 steps) - Christmas! We all went on a walk with Pika. Ben and I decided to run before we started cooking. Kept the pace down, and it wasn't "great," but it also wasn't the worst run. Crazy to be running in a tank top in December, I love it!

Finally opened presents when we got back from our run, while Ben was making a shit ton (2 pounds) of bacon and cinnamon rolls.

The rest of day was spent cooking a delicious dinner!

In between cooking, we watched Jigsaw (surprisingly good, if you like the Saw series), part of Bohemian Rhapsody & Love Actually.
Thursday (8,769 steps) - Core class during lunch. Nothing else... very tired all day because of all the eating, beer drinking & general not sleeping over Christmas Eve & Christmas. After dinner we watched Jurassic World and in bed early.
Friday (7,978 steps) - No gym today because Nicole and I went out to lunch at Osteria for a belated Christmas/early New Year's lunch. Super tasty quinoa salad and tomato spinach soup. Met up with Ben at 4 Noses after work for happy hour.

Home for frozen pizza and binge watching "You" because Ben hasn't seen it and the second season just came out!
Saturday (10,291 steps) - Up for Runners Edge, only to discover it snowed quite a bit. I scraped off the car and headed out, only to turn around after about 15 minutes because the roads were so bad. Back at home and then took Pika for a walk.

I figured I would run later in the day, but then the winds picked up and I opted to just scrap it. Ben spent the early afternoon helping a friend out while I watched junk on tv. We all went to Coda Brewing to meet up with Eliot and Bob. Fun times!

(More "You")
Sunday (18,287 steps) - Up relatively early to go to Milk Market for the Brunch run! Apparently, we haven't been in almost a year... I had plans to run with Ben, but then Mike decided to join our distance and the pace was too fast for me to keep up, so that was incredibly frustrating. I headed back to finish up the run with Mo, Ariel and Colfax.

Once we got back I was just freezing. Couldn't warm up at all, even skipped having a Bloody Mary! Took Pika for a walk before taking Ariel to a birthday party.

Ben and I headed to 4 Noses, Meghan met up with us for a beer. Went to pick Ariel up, only to find out she wanted to go to a Sleepover. Ben and I finished watching the rest of the first season of "You" - I really can't wait to see the second season!
Monday (15,874 steps) - Core class during lunch. Went for a 4ish mile run right after work by the lake. It was dark and cold.

Soooo sick of winter already. You!
