Howdy, friends! How’s it going! Playing a little catch up over here after the weekend. It was spring-ish over here and I loved every minute. And then winter came back.
I did not take many pictures over the weekend…sign of a good weekend?
On Saturday, I headed out after breakfast for an 8 mile run (taper time!!). It felt surprisingly good and I finished with an 8:21 average pace. Once I made it home, it was time for some grub before sending Ken out on a 3 hour tour…I mean, ride. Brooke and I jumped on the quad and headed out to meet him for the last 30 minutes of his loop in case he needed any food or water. Finished the evening out in the hot tub and everyone was happy.
Sunday started out with some bike race watching and latte drinking. It was nice to relax a bit and enjoy each other. Ken had planned to ride with a group, but since he had 4 hours of base riding to do (and the group NEVER does base) he opted to go solo.
Brooke and I headed to the pool and then the park and met him as he finished. We did a kiddo sway and I got out for a 3 mile run. I never run on pavement and since the half marathon is on the road, we thought I should pound some cement. I wasnt planning on going too fast, but I did my 3 miles at an 8:05 pace. Oops.
Since we were in town, I had brought my bike so that I could home. Ever the many-taskers.
It was an hour and a half (and 22 miles) of glorious gravel roads. Turns out that I have done very little outside riding and I was pretty tired when I got home!
But the views though!!
Hi, Hahns Peak!
Another evening in the hot tub and some muscle work on Ken’s legs and then we called it a night!
Monday was filled with all the chores….and a trip to the dentist.
This girl LOVES the dentist. Maybe that is because she has like zero plaque, no cavities and gets to pick a toy. Gonna call that a win!
Yesterday looked like this…
We took the pup out for a walk (Brooke ran the whole time). It was a bit windy, but plenty warm!
And then today looked like this…
Quite the difference, huh? Spring in the mountains.
Because I am crazy, I took advantage of the crummy weather and switched out my winter clothes for spring/summer clothes. Yep…I just ensured 6 more weeks of winter. Sorry!
Ken and I have plans to ride the trainers after Brooke goes to bed tonight (since the wind kept us up and we were too tired this morning!).
Brooke and I have plans for her to play with horses tomorrow morning….should be fun!!
