Y3W13 Day 4

Posted on May 2, 2013 by admin

AM:
30 min elliptical stepper

Today I worked off site. It went pretty well all things considered. Last night my wife got hit with a bad cold/flu. She could not sleep and was on the couch most of the night. She called in sick at work and was not feeling great at all. I was having symptoms today as well. I was feeling hot and cold, had a mild headache and felt slow in the brain, just like a hang over. I did some grocery shopping on the way home and picked up food to make a good chicken soup. We both feel better right now but tonight will be the test for us both. Hopefully she will be good in the morning and if I am getting worse, hopefully I can function enough to work. If I feel like she did today though I will be calling in sick for sure.

Obviously there was no PM workout today.

Y3W13 Day 2

AM:
3.5 mile jog this AM! We saw some bunnies and a possum. Good day indeed.

I ran some errands after work and it was late before I knew it. My wife is working late so I did not take away from us so it was worth missing the gym to get some stuff done.

AM:
2 hour hike!

Today we went for a longer hike. We headed to Prince William forest and did a 5 mile hike. We have been there before and enjoyed what we did. We have hiked up to 13 miles in one day there. Today 5 miles was enough.

The Flower is called “Lady’s Slipper” It was the first one I have ever seen. I spotted it and pointed it out to my wife. She knew what it was right away. It was also the only one that was spotted the entire hike.

AM:
4 mile run!

PM:
45 min leisurely bike ride with my wife through the neighborhoods.

Today rocked, we got a decent run in first thing this AM. Prior to the run I went outside on our porch to test the temperature and while outside saw a fox come around my neighbor’s house and cross the street. The fox was sniffing the ground and following a scent the way dogs do. It was cool to see.

Today was a good day. I was busy at work and the time flew by. I am looking forward to going to shoot some targets at the range with 3 of my nephews. Turns out one is a gun owner and did not even know it! My wife is going out shopping with her friends so this is win win!

Dinner tonight was fish, potatoes and Brussels sprouts, weird combo but it was good!

Today was a good day. I did spend some time sitting and my back was sore because of it. Not pain, just some discomfort. The weather is consistently getting better and I will be pedaling into work soon. There is something nice about pedaling into work.

Y3W12 Day 2

Posted on April 23, 2013 by admin

AM:
3 mile jog outside with my wife.

So today it was almost comfortable out at 4:00am so I decided yes I would run. My wife wanted to join me if I did so off we went. On my adventure I found someone’s State ID card (it is like a driver’s license but does not give you the privilege to drive). I made sure to get ready for work early and on my way I stopped at the local gas station and dunkin donuts shop and as luck would have it there were 5 police officers in there. I know, stereotype much? so I gave the license and the rock, paper, sissored to see who would take care of it. I was laughing on my way out of the place. The thing I found strange was that the ID was found in south Arlington on a busy street, and the guy lived in North Arlington 5 blocks from my work. I had half thought of going to his place myself to drop it off but thought better of it incase he was robbed of his wallet and ID. No reason to get involved in that. So that was my good deed for the day.
