I went to the gym to get in strength training and the stairs. I’m not feeling any pain these days, but I know that I will if I don’t keep up with strength and cross-training, so the gym it was, even though running sounded way more fun.
I’m grateful they don’t remember me getting out the same St. Patrick’s Day stuff year after year;). Or maybe they do, and they don’t say anything.
Nobody was going to get pinched at our house…
Thanks to the Melissa & Doug brand for helping me do crafts with my kids as a very non-crafty mom with kids who love crafts.
These muffins are a weekly staple.
And so are these protein bowls… Cottage cheese, roasted sweet potatoes, ground beef with taco seasoning, avocados, pineapple, and hot honey is optional.
Now for the tangents of the day:
*Our sporting goods store (ALs) had kids Saucony Kinvaras for $35. Skye is obsessed.
*This was how I found her gear 19 hours before run club practice… SHE EVEN HAD BRACELETS OUT. This little girl has so much passion.
*She also got her racing jersey, which lit her up!
*These two bring a football with them everywhere, and it is an instant friendship tool. The next thing I know, they have random kids they pass with wherever we go. Sports bring so much connection.
*My yoga training has helped me impress my kids.
*I ran by the cactus that Skye fell on a few years ago. These cacti can be jerks.
*Brooke’s dad had this gel with him… 60 grams of carbs in one gel? I’ve got to try this for my trail race this summer.
*JANE HEDENGREN. Another runner I see often out and about on her runs. Her entire family is incredible. I got to tell her congrats yesterday as she was out running.
*While at the stairs on Saturday, we chatted with the two guys ahead on the stairs as they attempted to do these 333 stairs for TWELVE hours. I need to know if they did it. Does anyone know them?
*We will find a Haribo factory to visit in France next week. They are Brooke’s #1.
*I got Andrew this Garmin for his birthday. He raced with it and absolutely loved it. I’ll have him write a review for anyone who is interested.
