This Chicago Winter is really starting to drag on.  Maybe I need to take a serious dose of Vitamin D to bring up my spirits and get a little pep back in my step.

I attempted to get my golf fix after watching what seemed to be 30 straight hours straight of golf this Saturday and Sunday with all the weather delays at the Gennnisss Open in California pushing rounds 2,3,4 into two days.   This task proved to be harder than I thought it would for living in downtown Chicago. There is only 1 place in the loop to my knowledge and when I called at  2:20 pm they were booked full for the rest of the day. 🙁  This might be a special case since it is a 3-day weekend for President Day.

I will try and go to this location during this next week to see if this is something I would get into,  it is kind of expensive at $50 an hour, but hey they do valet your car for 4 hours for only 10 dollars.  I will break that experience down in a dedicated blog later this week.

On the fitness side of this week, I went out way to hard in a workout on Tuesday that had a wild amount of pull-ups that basically blew my lats out.  This was a scary feeling as I can’t remember a time when my lats were ever sore.  That put me out of commission for a few days, but I did go to a Yoga class to help stretch things out.  Having not been sure if I had really hurt myself or just needed a few days to let them recuperate and took advantage of my buildings Gym and did some light lifting and some short cardio.

I should be finishing up my Current audiobook titled Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss and Thal Raz.  This has been a fun listen so far, I wish I could dedicate more time to actively listen to this book.  It really is worth a read/listen.

Any recommendations on what I should read next??

 

Cheers

 

 

Weekly Summary 2/4/2019

Highlights:

  • Superbowl party

Lowlights:

  • Polar Blast

The bitter cold really put a damper on this week activities as I was basically couped up in the condo for most of the week.  Negative 50 degrees was really cold, I tried to stand out on the porch for a couple minutes and it was brutal.  That type of cold was very piercing.  It seemed to almost delete the body heat I had.  The experience was a little scary, to be honest.  I hope I’m never stuck out in those temps in my life.

The actual Superbowl game was little lackluster but the food and beer made it great.  There had to be at least 8 different cheese foods out on the table.  The top dish was the Mac&Cheese, I took some leftover for lunch on Monday.
