Howe Street stairs | bike commute | Fleet Feet run

My first day of actual running on the Howe Street stairs! And my workout was appropriately much shorter. :)

Saw this up on Capitol Hill. I always think it's funny when people spend money on a colored chain and NEW CRANKS for a bike that has stamped steel dropouts. Really, (perceived) style is all that matters.

My calf is still messed up. It kind of bothered me all morning. Stupid calf.

bike commute | treadmill run

Didn't make it to the gym this morning but I did try a treadmill run at lunch. I figured this would be easier on my calf...? Not so much. It never felt good and I was just about as stiff and tender when I got off as when I climbed on.

On the way to the IMA I saw this.

Someone served this rear wheel up on a silver platter.

New Order - finally

There are tons of bands I wish I had seen before it was too late (The Clash, Led Zeppelin, X, etc.) but luckily I have had the chance to see a few (Queen, Black Flag).

A couple of weeks ago Shelley and I were able to add another to the 'have seen' list - New Order.

What. A. Good. Time!

The Paramount Theatre is such a great venue. It's been beautifully restored and just feels 'classic'.

The other shows I have experienced here had phenomenal sound, unfortunately not so much today. The vocals were pretty muddy. I tried to film a song and it appears my phone is not up to the task? The audio was not this bad...

Still, this was fun!

The entire encore was Joy Division songs.

We left with huge smiles on our faces. It's funny how good nostalgia can feel.

Cougar 10 | SRC Trail Work Party | north end of Lake WA on a single speed

What a day of being outdoors! And my first trail run in ages! Super bonus.

After my run I joined the Seattle Running Club for a Trail Work Party on Cougar Mountain. Good times (read: hard work) and great people. And a delicious lunch after. Can't complain.

Topped off the exercising with a great ride with Chance Reschke and then we both topped off the day with a visit to Stoup Brewing.

Here are all the pictures.
