2018 Beer Drinker Appreciation Society - Always Open (Page 4)

I know it's going to sound crazy, but have you tried hot yoga?  I used to hate yoga as well, basically because everything I did in it, which was to help loosen me up/strengthen the core/ultimately make my tight muscles feel better - just made everything feel worse.  Finally after MUCH pushing from wife and friends, I tried a local studio that not only offers hot yoga but at a few different levels including beginner.  The heat sucks at the time you're in it, but it really does help loosen everything up so you can focus on whatever pose it is you're trying to do instead of how much everything hurts from being so tight.  Only then did I get why people that love yoga love it so much.

Happy to see so many familiar faces along with some new ones!

This week is starting out rough. It's my "on call" week so I need to be able to respond within 15 minutes of a page. Yesterday morning I was getting ready for a run when, of course, my pager goes off. So much for that run. Was planning on going for a bike ride this morning however I've been up since 4am after getting a call and I'm still monitoring the issue.  Fortunately I'm in a 5 week rotation so I will have plenty of weeks without this distraction but it does make it tough, especially getting in the pool. I can do some elliptical / stationary bike at the gym in a pinch.

In good news, the new bike I ordered should be in soon! I will post a picture when it does

Anyone else on the west coast thinking of doing Wildflower this year? The event is a one of a kind mix of triathlon and festival. This year they are adding trail running and paddle boarding events.

It is a lot of fun, I really enjoyed spending the afternoon on the lawn listening to live music and enjoying a beer after finishing the sprint course. I've done the mountain bike sprint twice, the bike course changed between the two years due to the lake conditions. Both courses had narrow trail segments so I would imagine the current course would as well.

Back home from traveling, got in some decent work at the Marriott gym.  This morning was an ugly 60' trainer session - this crazy weather has given me a wicked sinus headache.  Hopefully a swim later today.

Tomorrow is about two hours at the gym...spin class, 30' on the treadmill, then some core work.  Sunday is a planned off day, which usually involved lots of chores around the house.    I think we're going to see The Post sometime this weekend, too.  Oh, and I'm sure there will be some beer involved at many of those activities (except for the gym, though they do sell beer there during the summer LOL).

Do I hear three?????? 

Made it to the gym yesterday for some elliptical and rowing. Still on call this weekend so I won't be able to do any long distance training but I do hope to get a run in tomorrow morning. Even if it's just a few laps around my neighborhood it's better than nothing!

Beer-wise, as part of my weight loss goals I'm only allowing myself a couple each week so I make sure they are good. I have a couple good DIPA's from Firestone's "Leo v Ursus" series that I plan to partake in. If you like well balanced and flavorful DIPA's and are in range of Firestone's distribution (mainly west coast) I highly recommend checking it out. It's a limited release series with a different recipe each release. So far they have all been excellent and I'm always a bit sad when I drink my last one while waiting for the next quarterly release.

Yay awesome news!!!

Yeah great job Dave!!

YES GO FOR THREE!!!!

If you like the trainer time then - great news for you!  For me it's not as bad as the treadmill, esp when I put youtube videos of pro cycling on the laptop, but otherwise..

BTW I will be at said game, in my nosebleed season ticket seat.
