I've ready discussed my Running in a prior post so I won't expand on it much more here. Still sucks starting out on such a solid note (averaging 12 miles per run with all that vert mixed in) and literally ending the month with 1 run over 11 days. What could have been....
As soon as I took time off from running, I thought it would be a great idea to just kill it in the Weight Room. 4 visits in 7 days where I spent an average of 90 minutes in there pushing my limits. While I surprised myself on a few occasions with the weight I was throwing around, I honestly hated these 4 workouts. It defeated the purpose of why I was weightlifting to begin with. The goal has always been simple and it's to put myself in strong running shape and I wasn't doing that. So I took the last 10 days off of the month from lifting just to give myself a mental check.
I suck at the Beer Challenge...but you would too if you had a crazy 3 year old and 3 month old at home. Hitting the Ouray Brewery with my daughter on a Thursday night that saw heaps of snow in town was awesome.
With so much time taken off to end the month, it's amusing what other things I do to occupy my time. New Tattoo idea...check. Looking at bigger homes for our now family of four...check. Walking my fat dog more...check. New job searches...check.
Of all these, the searching for a new home has been of most interest. My wife and I love the area near DU/Wash Park but our house was unfortunately the perfect size for just the two of us. Maybe even for three of us. But not for four.
It's been fun asking ourselves what's important to us as we decide on areas to live. What becomes interesting is asking this same question to ourselves 5 years ago. To ourselves 5 years from now. Very interesting to see the answer. For example, I love how there's great coffee shops near our house but what would be even cooler is having trail access near our house.
Looking Forward
Pretty simple. Get this knee healed up so I can....
Play Like An All Star
Party Like a Rock Star
Hammer Like a Porn Star
I have no idea how that relates to running healthy but credit goes to Mike Piazza for the awesome quote.
Screw Denver. Move to Pleasant Valley.
ReplyDeleteHard to argue with JT's comment. Got it pretty good down there...
ReplyDeleteSorry about the knee. Hope you heal up quick.
JT does have it good in the PV but that creek and it's likelihood of flooding scares me.
ReplyDeleteKnee is coming around slowly.
