Ran over 11 yesterday. This morning was very much just a walk. Also some bending on the reformer.

Another live band last night, this time at the house behind my neighbor. It was very windy and chilly but these guys were undaunted. They were so loud it was incredible. What they lacked in musicianship they made up for with volume. Bass and bass drums, same beat and bass line nearly every song. And tuba, omg. 1 or 2 notes from the tuba over and over ad nauseum.
I tried to go to sleep at 11:00 and I put earplugs in and covered my head with pillows to no avail. That bass and thumping drum gets through anything. Around midnight I realized it had stopped.

I was surprised it went on until 12:00. The people who had bands most often were across the street but they moved out a couple weeks ago. Their bands were usually good musicians and they always stopped by 10:00. This Saturday there was another band down the street a bit and while they were loud, there was no thumping bass drum or bass. Very different and focusing on vocals, they were not disruptive and actually had an interesting sound.

What a lovely way to start a Monday. I pride myself about running on time. My first patient was scheduled at 8AM. By 8:30 we figured that the patient was not coming in. Turns out he was there all along and a snafu at the front desk prevented him from "showing up" in the system. So now I am going to be 30 minutes behind just to start.
edit: now my front desk tells me he came in 25 minutes late. Everyone has a different angle on this.
double edit: turns out the patient WAS on time and the front desk person did not realize system did not acknowlege.

Ha, thanks! But the real beast mode is my wife who's called AG around here (Atomic Girl, because she worked out at a gym called Atomic Athlete when I met her) ran a little over 20 yesterday. Hoping to BQ at the San Antonio Rock'n'Roll in a couple weeks. I'm just going to try to finish the half respectably...

Oh is that the origin story for her username? I always assumed she was a nuclear physicist or something like that.

No, EE. I have been in the house while her data (different flavor of EE) was on a call with an actual nuclear power plant diagnosing something. That was fun.

Now there's a proper looking mountain, hopefully this batch of snow doesn't melt.
Man my legs are wrecked after running up those parking garage stairs — 6 stories, X2 yesterday, X1 today.

Took Flagstaff Rd up to Gross reservoir, stopping for shots along the way. There were flurries in the air up there, I’m disappointed I didn’t make note of the altitude. Then over to NCAR and the Mesa trail for more beautiful scenery.
