Sounds like gma K is doing slightly better today. Still going to be a long road, I wish I could go see her, but alas the weather was crappy today and now even worse tomorrow.

I swam a shortened distance today of 4km this morning, but it felt great! I knew I would be going to do other activities in the afternoon and the pool was super-busy (it always is on saturday mornings), so I was ok with the shorter swim today.

I ended up doing a snowshoe route this afternoon with the beagle. We started out at the Macbride Nature Recreation Area (MNRA). We followed the cross country/hiking trail and then decided to traverse Lake Macbride using this route. It was an exciting outing for both Tyler and I, found it to be relaxing and fun!

There's a big winter storm brewing. It completely screwed up my travel plans. I was planning on flying at 7pm on sunday to get into Albuquerque at 11pm, but alas that's not happening. Now, I'm on standby, ugh for 6am tomorrow morning, and hopefully I will beat this storm and make it to New Mexico much earlier in the day. I guess all is not lost, as I have a lot of house things to take care of at both properties once I get there. I should also get my bike worked up into shape so that I can ride monday-thursday for at least an hour each day this week, since there will be no swimming possible.

Because of the storm, I had to board the beagle at 5pm this evening. It sucks when the beagle is not here. The house is empty. :(

I had a really nice meal at Red's Alehouse this evening. Chicken Tortilla Soup, Paniolo steak on a bed of risotto, 2 rogue shakespeare stouts, chocolate cake with chocoalate sauce and bananas paired with a st bernardus for dessert. That's a lot of calories to take in for a meal, but given that I hit 183.5 pounds today, it was kind of a reward for hard work and exceeding goals the past week.

Life is still pretty good. :)
