Bronwyn and I went for a windy run from my place to Three Road park in Richmond. Bronwyn biked from her place to mine, which apparently takes exactly 1h10min. I woke up tired today and found myself navigating the day in a bit of a tired haze. Nonetheless, we were both noticing how amazing it feels to be able to run 1.5hrs and feel like we’re having an easy day.

It was a busy day with Torbin’s birthday and a wonderful surprise dinner party with Jane, Dave, Rob, and Jenna. After a homemade waffle birthday brunch, we had a really nice dinner with a couple of appetizers, two salads, our local steaks, and a decadent dessert. Pulling off the house tidy, driving around town for errands, the dinner prep, and socializing without totally bonking was a serious victory for me. Although I did send everyone home for an early night, I feel like we’re managing the balancing act of life and training pretty well these days. Torbin is a wonderful teammate in this respect. He’s pulling a lot of extra weight for me these days.
