7 Things
Happy Monday! We got an amazing delivery to kick-off the weekend π€©
Our new Nordictrack came in and it took us a few hours to get it inside the house and set it up (the delivery drivers had to drop it outside the home because of COVID). It wasnβt too bad (we got it all inside before it started pouring rain) to carry everything in with two of us (thankfully Alex is very strong) and put it together. We also celebrated our 6th date-aversary with dinner take-out from our favorite little Italian restaurant-Vitos. Iβm really just a huge fan because of their cannolis (although everything is honestly spectacular).
And yes, we watched Jeopardy while eating dinner. Normally we eat at the table, but splurged and watched TV with our dinner. I got a new iPhone Saturday (11 Pro) and wow, are the photos just amazing. I really feel like a professional photographer when I snap a photo in portrait mode π
Iβm almost finished with Running Home by Katie Arnold and wow, does this book really want me to run another ultramarathon. How she describes the longer distance races is exactly how I feel.
Got our fill of Apple Cider donuts on Thursday (we went to the Apple Orchard again with my Grandmother this time) and Iβm just really wishing October will never end.
They also taste really good after a long-run (FYI π). We got out Sunday morning for a hike out to Rattlesnake Pool near Evans Notch. We didnβt see any rattlesnakes (thankfully), but this gorge was amazing.
Finished the weekend with my usual Sunday afternoon 8-mile loop and Core Strength with the Peloton App (just finished the 4-week core challenge!). Itβs just a sea of orange leaves around here and I love it. I start my new job today, so feeling excited/ nervous/ ready to get through the week-long orientation and into a groove of 12-hour shifts.
