Weekend was pretty awesome. Got off work early on Friday so I was able to lift some stuff at the gym which I haven’t done in a while and apparently the gym has made all the weights heavier in my absence. I wish they would announce these things. Saturday the girlfriend and I braved a winter storm to do a day trip 3 hrs down the road. That was beyond fun. Went to a science museum, rode a ferris wheel and did some shopping. It was so much fun until the drive back. It snowed for about 10 hrs straight and my home town picked up about 8 inches or so of snow. Driving back we got to drive about 40 mph on a 75 mph highway. We turned a 2:45 drive into nearly 5 hrs. It was utterly exhausting but still tons of fun.
This week I am going to work on getting back to more lifting. Scaled it back severely while training for the 10 miler I DNS’d so we’ll ramp it back up and scale the running down. I have no races until summer of next year I guess?? We’ll have to work out what a mixture of running/lifting looks like with no races on the calendar.
