This morning was busy, he had a call, then out of the office for a meeting, then back to sort out stuff for next week. It was midday and he felt like he had already done two days work.
By mid afternoon, it was time to call it a week. Time to head off to the cinema, todays movie of choice is Savages, pity it is not on the IMAX screen. He does hope it is not on screen 7 at the AMC Mecardo, because that screen has a scratch and the right channel of audio just crackles.
Before the cinema MrGrumpy tried out In-N-Out Burger, several MrPeople had recommended it to him, today it was time to try one. He ordered Cheeseburger, Fries and a Soda (somewhere about 800 calories), but it had been a bad week for a diet, so he had it anyway.
It was not bad, the burger was a bit thin, but tasty (especially as they don't put in pickle). He did prefer the MrFiveGuys burger that MrWhiteSox had introduced him to.
At the cinema there was a bit of a queue at the ticket desk, unusual for this time of day, but then he noticed that the automated ticket machines were "Out of Order". He got his ticket, this time it was on screen 15, he hoped that would be better than 7. It was, no problem with the image or sound, they could do with turning the volume up a little more - at times it is just too quiet. Anyway he sat through the trailers, a few new ones for movies in September and October.
The movie was pretty good, several quite gruesome violent scenes, but the story was good and kept MrGrumpy interested for all 3 and a bit hours. The ending was not quite what he was expecting, but he won't spoil it for anybody.
When he got home, he got changed and went out for a brisk walk, the plan was to test out the sports watch he had got cheap from MrAmazon. It measures heart rate so MrGrumpy can check if he is walking fast enough to really make him fitter. As well as the sports watch, his iPhone was tracking the walk using Nike+, so he would have quite a lot of data from this walk. He was more like a portable data logger than a walker.
After the walk he had done just over 5 miles at a pace of 15m 40s per mile, not too bad for him and it did include a 200ft hill at about half way. From the hill he could see Monument Peak across the valley, this is the peak he hiked up by accident last weekend. The heart rate monitor gave him an average reading of 118 bpm (67% of his max) which would class as quite a good 1h 20min aerobic workout.
