Enjoying The Weather!!!

I don't really care if i ever see snow again. The weather out here is amazing this time of year!
We have been trying, very hard, to take full advantage of the temps and sunshine. Aside from the normal running and rock climbing, we've been trying to take the dogs to the dog park more and also let Rohan run around like crazy.
This week was pretty low key otherwise. Friday night we met up with Sasha & Will for Indian at Delhi Palace in Tempe. It was good as always!
Saturday was a full day. We started out with an 8 mile run at sunrise. It started off weird when we saw a dead javelina (sort of a desert pig) on the side of the road. It was the first time we have really seen one that close. After the run we helped a friend move from Avondale to Awaktukee. After that we took a much needed shower, and met up with Greg & Nico for our first monthly dinner date. We want to get together more, and with Greg & Mara both studying hard, Nico thought it would be a good idea to schedule in a break so we can relax. We chose Bombay Spice this time. Greg had told us about it last year when we came to look at places to live, and they still hadn't been there; Mara and I love it! Aside from the long wait (a sign of a good restaurant I guess) we had a great dinner. We followed it up with copious amounts of wine and semi-drunk Jenga. We capped the night off with a hot tub run around midnight, which felt awesome on our weary muscles.
Sunday we took the dogs to the Chapparal Dog Park where they ran themselves out. Rohan has been loving the dogs and he gets worn out as well! He ran around the whole hour we were there, and just crashed afterwards. We then met up with Sasha for some Dim Sum at Golden Budda, and afterwards hit AZR for some late afternoon climbing. Jeanette showed us some great strength training workouts with the rings and we are feeling the effects now. Talk about a core & shoulder workout!
Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day!


I should set up this video. Sasha & Will hiked Camelback Mountain this week and her calves were hurting pretty bad so Mara did some OTM on her. Sasha's calves were REALLY tender and Rohan was laughing so hard every time she yelled. He found it to be hilarious:


Rohan has been getting stronger so now he can grip hard enough to ride on my back. He wasn't quite sure what to think, but he didn't seem to mind:


P.S. We also wanted to say we hit 25,000 views on the blog!!! We are so glad so many family & friends are able to keep up with us on the blog, especially since we are so bad about keeping in touch sometimes.
