Max and I went for a hike this morning at Sycamore Canyon Open Space. We got an early start to the day because I was planning on going to the beach without him in the afternoon and wanted to make sure that he got some exercise. Out of the house by 7am. I don't even get out of the house by 7am for work. Headed north to Poway and a bit east. It was a nice hike. About 5 miles. Had some really cool areas along the way. The placed burned in the 2003 Cedar fire and it was nice to see things growing back. A lot of work has been done to plant the riparian areas and they have been plnting some oak trees. Definitely a place that I would go back to. Pretty open and not much shade. Was getting hot by 9:30am. Max was hot and tired by the end of the hike. Mission accomplished.
Friday at the gym was a day for deadlifts. We were not going for max rep but sets of 3. I'm not sure exactly how mine went but my last set was just 2 of 229. That was good. Kind of a low key Friday which I was fine with. Priscella, Brigid and Mike M. all went for PR's and got them. That was really cool to see. That is one of the things that I like about the gym. You get to watch people get stronger and achieve things that they never thought that hey could do. From people who are going for max weight on a snatch to those who finally can do 10 push-ups not on their knees.
Spent the afternoon at the beach with Mike and Priscella. Had a good time. As I was sitting on the beach I found myself still surprised that I live here. People come to San Diego from all over the world and I live here. I can come to the beach anytime and the sun and good weather is something we get everyday. Blows my mind sometimes. The ocean was a nice 74 degrees and the waves were pretty big due to a tropical storm off-shore. Did a little body surfing, sun tanning and smashball. Not a bad Saturday. Going to chill and watch a movie tonight!
