It seems like the weekend just flew by. I don’t know how I was able to manage all of
this activity in addition to going out to play cards once a week. Friday night, I decided to take advantage of
the weather and got in a short bicycle ride.
Then I took the girls to the park, while my wife picked up dinner.
Saturday morning, I took part in the CMRA Spring Spree 10K
in Littleton. This was a fun little
event and I even managed to finish in 56:42 which was well ahead of my goal
time or 1:00:00. My 10K pace averaged
9:09/mile.
The rest of the day was spent roaming around downtown Arvada
and having lunch at Udi’s. That night my
wife and I went to see “Chess” the musical at the Arvada Center. I had been hoping to take in a cultural event
this year and was not disappointed. The
Arvada Center is a great venue and the performance far exceeded my
expectations.
Sunday was a day of chores.
I had the garage cleaned up on Saturday.
The outstanding items on my list were caulking the girl’s bathtub and
cleaning up the yard. I never enjoy yard
work and the pollen really took its toll.
However most of the dead stuff from last year is cleared up. I still have some weeds to pull and will
probably buy some fresh mulch this weekend.
I need to start re-evaluating my weekly workouts. I am solid on swim with Master’s swimming on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Running
is typically easy as I like to run at lunchtime. However, there are lots of opportunities for
group workouts and I am considering joining the CRMA on Tuesday nights and Road
Runner Sports on Wednesday nights.
Finally the Arvada Triathlon club is trying to start a weekly run. Bicycling is hard for me to fix as well. The Bicycle Village group ride is Saturday mornings. Foothills Running and Cycling Club also does
a Saturday ride and a Wednesday night ride.
I am still a little uncertain about group rides, but should really give
them a shot.
