Top of the Key

Took Sunday off totally from exercise. I wasn’t planning to, but I was feeling the effort I put forth on Saturday. So just let it go and rested up for today’s workout.

Monday’s have started to get me into a routine. Run early, end up at the pool, and done by 9am to get a solid day’s of work in. Today’s run was a bit harder than normal, due to the wind and snow swept trails. I ran from the house and got on the boulder creek trail. Wind was at my back going out, and then slammed directly into my face on the way back. I was running in deeper snow in some areas as the wind was blowing it over the trail. Managed to get back home and check on our new cat, Weke, and then headed up to the rec center to swim. We picked up Weke yesterday at the Boulder Humane Society. We have always had a cat in the house since Jess and I started dating. And almost a year ago, we lost Mac, the best cat we ever had. He was from the Humane Society as well, and really got along with our dogs. Now Weke has been here just over 24 hours, and he’s already roaming the house and playing with the dogs. Lhasa, our Bernese Mountain Dog, loves cats. She is very interested in this new animal that’s taking over the bed. Weke has even slept in Lhasa’s dog bed today. He’s really cool, we’ve lucked out with animals for sure. Our family is back to 5 now, and everything is right again.

Basic drill swim today. Felt pretty good. I’m planning to get up again tomorrow at 4am to get on the bike for 5. I like those days, feels like I get so much more done. I’ll post a photo of Weke tomorrow.
