I don’t know if I would get outside that much during the winter if it weren’t for running. We average skiing once a week during the winter, but other than that, if it wasn’t for running, I would be under my covers for a few months, and that would be horrible for my mental health. Thank you, running, for getting me out in nature year-round. 7 miles @ 8:23 average pace + 30 min of Peloton strength classes.
When I came home, Skye was cleaning her running shoes; I had to pinch myself to make sure it wasn’t a dream.
Beck was very set on the idea of making brownies for his grandma, so we made sure to do that.
We took the brownies over and chatted with my parents for a while. I am proud to say that I got my dad to laugh so hard that he was crying.
I love this piece that he painted so much. Every vacation we went on growing up involved an art museum… I can’t wait to take my kids to some of the most famous ones in the world next week (please don’t burst my bubble yet that they won’t last for very long in them).
I haven’t had a sub sandwich in way too long. If you go back on my blog to the years 2010-2012, I am pretty sure I posted a picture of a Subway sandwich footlong every three days.
My heart was made whole when we got to talk to my niece on her mission. Just hearing her voice again felt like the biggest treat. She is so happy.
And then it was time for cross-country. I forgot a rubber band for her, but a running headband did the trick.
Skye forced me to get in some fartleks…
They add a bead to the jar for each mile they run. Isn’t it cute?
We had a frozen lasagna that we cooked for dinner (when we make my mom’s recipe, we eat one pan and freeze the other covered in a few layers of saran wrap). And now it’s time for a long run with delicious snacks.

Do you like talking on the phone? Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
Any foods that you used to eat all of the time that you rarely eat anymore?
What gets you outside during the winter besides running?
What is something you are looking forward to today?
