Less Moving, More Brewing<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, last few weeks have not been so good with the running.\u00a0 The most I ran this weekend was around the block, because it was 10 pm on a Sunday and I had been in my running clothes all day and still had not gone for a run.\u00a0 This was definitely one of those “you have to make exercise a priority” kind of days and it just never happened.\u00a0 First, we had a friend stay over, and while I tried to convince him to go for a run (since he’s doing a 5K in a couple of weeks) he said no because he didn’t bring his running shoes.\u00a0 Then, we had to go get groceries and run errands.\u00a0 Then, we started brewing a saison, which for all-grain takes several hours, allowing me time to do yard work and entertain neighborhood kids who came over to play with our dog.<\/p>\n

Once we’d extracted our wort, we took a break to go watch the USA\/Portugal game — tied, flipping tied — which didn’t exactly lift my spirits as much as watching us beat Portugal would have, though was better than a loss.\u00a0 Finally, at about 9:00 we got down to boiling our beer, which took 90 minutes and then another hour or so for the cool down and racking into a carboy for fermentation.\u00a0 A busy, full day, none of which involved my running…at least until I took approximately seven and a half minutes to run around the block.<\/p>\n

Good weekend on the BREWS side, less good on the MOVES side.<\/p>\n

I finally made it out Wednesday afternoon for a sweaty 3-miler.\u00a0 Our 4-year-old neighbor is insanely in love with our dog and craves constant attention, so she decided to engage in an attention-seeking blitzkrieg yesterday while I tried to work from home.\u00a0 She began ringing\/knocking on the front and back doors and tapping the downstairs windows about every 10-15 minutes, which drives my dog crazy.\u00a0 Even after I opened the door, explained I was trying to work and that she was bothering our dog and that I would no longer be answering the door, she continued to do it.\u00a0 I stopped answering the door and decided to go for a run.\u00a0 Was she sitting on my door step when I left? Yes.\u00a0 Did she start up again about 20 minutes after I got back from my run?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Did she start ringing the bell within 5 minutes of Josh getting home from work?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 At least I was less stressed after going for a run.<\/p>\n
