Oh, what a weekend!

What a weekend, it has been busy, fun, exciting, full of new achievements, and adventures. It all started off on Friday evening with a little of this

A little after work ride.

Just a few laps in the pool.

 Saturday started off with my normal morning run it looked a little like this.

 Then I followed it up with a wicked crazy massage. It was both painful and enjoyable, and most likely just what I needed to start getting my muscles to recover better.  After lunch I took my wife out for her birthday gift. It looked a whole lot like this.

Yup, I straight up took her rock climbing. It has been something that she has been dying to try, and up until now I had no motivation to help her with this desire. Not to mention I physically couldn't have. I am so glad that I have been able to get my self into shape and lose enough weight to be able to enjoy it with her. I have very seldom seen her as happy as she was navigating these walls. By the way, it is such a good work out. My arms and hands are quite sore. It was a great time and we will be going back and probably taking the older boys too.  

Now on Sunday, I went out for my final longish training run before the marathon coming up on Saturday. It looked a little bit like this,

  and the completion of this activity marks my 600th running, riding, walking, and swimming activities since I started on this journey of making a better life for me and my family. Along with this milestone comes 1,806 miles traveled and 206,802 calories burnt.While I am happy with these achievements. I feel that I am not where I wanted to be at this time, but am pleased with what I have been able to accomplish and what I will be able to accomplish in the near future. What a wonderful satisfying weekend.
