Took advantage of my 4 days off stretch to head back to Castle Rock to see my brother, other friends and the Crismans. It was a real nice time with lots of good food (thanks Shirley) and LOTS of wine :-)Best part was that I got a couple training runs in with Ryan and we are both feeling pretty good leading into the Rock n Roll half in AZ. I had a 4 miler with my new Garmin on Monday which was for speedwork, then had a nice 8.5 mile run with ryan in the pouring rain on Tuesday. Ryan strategically planned for us to stop at a pizza joint which unfortunately was closed....
Wednesday morning we all got up and had a nice recovery 5K (Mat, Lindsay, Laura, Ryan and I) and some coffee post workout. Our second annual wine tasting at the Schwinn's was very nice Wednesday night, and then Thursday we brewed a batch of Nut Brown Ale with Dick. I believe we have got him hooked :-)
Drove home Thursday evening and hit the gym for a 4 mile treadmill run to burn off some of the booze and will try for one more run after work today to round out the week. All in all, great week of training and great time catching up with everyone.
Happy New Year!
