Signed up for a few races
That is the extent to the running excitement of this weekend. I was lame and hardly ran. I don't even know how many miles I ran last week, somewhere in the high 40's which is quite weak considering that one of the races I signed up for this weekend is a half marathon which is in 3 weeks! Oh well. I think I will be okay if I have a good week this week (which will end with a second race that I signed up for this weekend, a 5 miler).
Nonetheless, lame running aside, we had such a great weekend. We drove up to Vail Saturday morning (after I ran 4 miles), and skied one run after walking around and looking for pants for Matty as he had forgotten his. This turned out to be a bad idea most likely - buying Matt pants that is - because on our one run of the day he fell on his chest and is staying home from work today due to a bruised rib. However we ended up staying at the Ritz in Beaver Creek and it was absolutely fabulous. We got a couples massage yesterday morning which was really nice. I would have liked to go for a hike or something but it was really nice to lounge around and go in their pool and hot tub a bunch. They have this really cool indoor hot tub thing called the Grotto which is just enormous and really fun. So it was a nice, if lazy, weekend.
This morning I woke up at 6:00 and ran my 8 mile run down to Wash Park. Since I sucked yesterday I am going to run another 4 miles after work as well. We have a crazy week - concert tonight (that I am not going to do since I need to do laundry and I don't like the band), Nuggets game tomorrow night (yay!), and U2 concert tomorrow (also big yay!!). Hopefully I will actually get some mileage in this week. I am committed to doing it for sure.
