busy

SAR has been keeping me busy.  Between Friday evening and Monday evening had a three incline calls, BTMR volunteering, and a CPR class.  And another non-SAR trip to Barr Camp on Monday morning to deliver some mail.  

For the week:

run - 41 miles, eight hours

bike - 38 miles, 3.5 hours

hike - 30 miles, eight hours

Samantha Fish

Down week, been busy with SAR stuff and dogsitting.

Still summer for a while, but given our super early morning dog hikes we can already tell the sun is rising later.  Here's Mook checking out the sun at the break of dawn.

While on the subject of good scenery, we caught Samantha Fish last night.  Such a great show!  She played with Slash and Warren Haynes in Denver last night and is opening for The Rolling Stones this weekend, and still squeezed in a show in COS.

Dogs and BTMR volunteering and the grand opening of WestFax will keep me busy this weekend.  

Silverheels

Got the van out this weekend for some good altitude training.  Spent Friday and Saturday nights at Hoosier Pass, with a Saturday morning hike of 13,828' Mount Silverheels.  Ten mile hike all above 11,500'.  Mookie had the time of his life.

Down the pass to Broken Compass Brewing after the climb, dog was thoroughly pooped.

Not a bad week considering the heatwave and weekend trip.  The numbers:

run - 41 miles, 7.5 hours

ride - 57 miles, five hours

hike - 34 miles, 16 hours

catching up

We had a blast at Blues From The Top and I suspect we'll go again.  Not a big resort town guy but Winter Park had all we needed a short walk away and was very dog friendly.  Hideaway Park Brewing is one of my new favorites.

On Thursday I ran from my house to the summit of Pikes and back.  Just over 32 miles.  My 39th climb of Pikes, and I hatched a plan to hit my 50th summit on my 50th birthday.  My summit house lunch was $17.

Mookie turned three years old on Thursday.  He celebrated with hikes and treats and a trip to Fossil.
