Another Full Week/Weekend

This last week has pretty much been the same 'ol for us.  Mara was crazy busy at the hospital while I am getting along great at work, and Rohan has been charming the masses.  We've fit in several runs this week, and even tacked on a few more miles than we had scheduled, so our half marathon training is going good.  So good, we've even talked about doing the full next year...crazy, I know.  Tuesday night we ran 4 miles and ended up at AZR an climbed for 2 hours or so.  Sasha ran there later and hung out for a bit before running back to our place.  Mara and I ran back (totaling a little over a 10K) and hung out with Sasha a bit.  She was crashing at our place to cut her commute from Tempe to Sun City West in half (about 45 minutes).  She'll probably do that a few times the next few weeks just to get to sleep in a tad, especially on call nights.
Rohan is feeling MUCH better these days.  He's more active and more playful than when he was sick, and we are pretty sure he's growing and inch every day.  There are a couple videos of him goofing around on the couch below.  He's been working on getting off things feet first, and usually practices on AZR's mats, but now he's working on that off the couches and beds.
We capped a long work week by hitting our favorite Sushi place, RA, then relaxed on our porch and enjoyed a few drinks and the gorgeous weather we're having.
Saturday we met up with Heather, John & Grandma Hansen for a picinc at Cesar Chavez Park.  The park was awesome!  The lakes and buildings were really nice, and we had lunch on a little island by the water.  Rohan loved the attention from family.  Rohan also got to feed the ducks and swans and John just about gave Heather a heart attack (see the video below).  There was a little scary moment with another group at the park.  Someone started screaming across the lake that someone had fallen down (and we were guessing unresponsive).  Mara is usually the one that runs over and takes control of the situation (like on I-80 and in St. Louis), but we were on the island and it was about a mile run over to their picnic area.  From what we could see the person did come to, and eventually everyone calmed down and the resuce squad came.  Still it was pretty scary.  We took a nice walk around the lake and then ended back at Heather & John's.  They went to see The Phantom of the Opera and Mara and I headed to my work so I could take care of a few things.  Mara got Rohan to sleep and got a little studying done in the meantime.  Later, Rohan got some quality time with Heather, John & Grandma while Mara and I had a nice dinner out at a nice Indian restaurant called Delhi Palace.  The restaurant was right across the street from ASU's Sun Devil Stadium and USC just happened to be in town so it was crazy around there.  We tried to meet Sasha & Chris on Mill St. (ASU's bar scene area) but she couldn't get down there due to street closures before we had to go pick up Rohan.
Sunday we came back downtown so I could swing by work again, then headed back and grilled out with Sasha &a Chris.  We found a great deal on 4/6 shrimp that were the size of Linus!  They tasted AWESOME on the grill.  After lunch we headed to AZR and climbed for a couple hours.  Rohan was SUPER active that night since he had a nap before we went.  He even took a couple more steps on his own, so he's not too far behind his "cousin" Cameron...:)  Even after all that, Mara and I somehow found the energy to go for a 7 mile run that night.  We were pooped! 
Mara, Rohan & I also wanted to wish Steph a VERY HAPPY 30th birthday today!  I've missed just about every one of her birthdays, but Mara made sure I didn't forget this one!  Hope you have a great B-Day Steph!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
