I needed my Josse time and it was made even better by getting to do a trail run together for 8.2 miles.
700+ ft of climbing in the first 2 miles and my good ol’ trusty Cascadias (a long time favorite).
Right when we got back onto the running path a squirrel went by us crazy fast and it scared the living daylights out of us and we screamed and laughed for about 4 minutes.
We talked to the guy that started the Wasatch 100 mile race while he was out on his Eliptigo (I should have asked if I could try it… so cool)
We made sure to visit my mom.
And then we went to a splash pad (splash pads take my stress levels down 200 notches compared to pools) and they were making their angry faces for the picture.
Went to Target (and I met the cutest reader while we were there that is here in town from Colorado) and grabbed stuff for Brooke’s bday party—> piñatas are one of our traditions.
Got to work on our house doing random things.
Snacked on Frosted Flakes and peaches (try it) and put on my camping shirt… hopefully we don’t get lost though.
Andrew came home and we were all quite productive;)
We ordered his favorite and then we were off to the mountains to camp.
Here is the recipe from Megan D’s amazing dinner that she made for us—> it was so so good (PS Megan got permission from Kate at Our Best Bites to post this from the cookbook… they are buddies:)

Thank you so much for the recipe! Will try it for sure. Sentence of the day: hotel gym with no ac in August is not cool haha I can’t wait to read about your camping trip. My 6yo son really wants to go but I am not sure if I’m ready to bring him yet!

There are a few people who use an Elliptigo around here. I’ve seen them for years and always thought it looked super fun because they are flying!!
I would definitely fall on one though!!
Lynn @ The Not Dead Yet Blog
Funny how Brooke’s mad face looks almost like a smile. I guess it’s hard to make a mean face when you’re so happy!
Denise
I love camping–have a great time! :) Also that is one of the cutest pinatas that I have ever seen!
Wendy

I just wrapped up an eighteen miler in a torrential downpour and my knee is KILLING me! Hopefully a little extra foam rolling and stretching will tune it up!
Have fun camping!

Be glad it was a squirrel, way funnier and better than a snake (which happened to me this morning)
Suzy
I AM THE CUTEST READER. Ha ha. Okay, no. But I have a not so cute question for you: Do your running hats stink? MINE REEK. I own approximately 38467367289362 of them just because within the first 3 weeks of wearing one, it starts smelling like hockey equipment. HELP.
Nina
I soak mine and then wash them. I add washing soda and a little white vinegar to particularly stinky laundry.
Suzy
Thank you, Nina!!!!
The Hungry Runner Girl
YES YES YES… I do the same thing as Nina and it takes the stink right out:) Good luck Suzy.. let me know how it goes. And the hockey equipment comment… hahaha!!!
Nina
Thanks for the recipe! Enjoy camping. I have never camped.
Ashley
I ran the hobble creek half today. I saw Josse she ran up the canyon and turned around to go back down where we were starting (WOW!!).
The Hungry Runner Girl
AHHH YAY!! Congrats Ashley!!! That is awesome! We were in that canyon camping too… I should have joined you today! Yeah, she is intense haha… I think they did like 21.5 miles! Hope you had a wonderful race day!!!
Ashley
We had dinner with friends tonight and our kiddos got to play.
It looks like you had a pretty good day! Lots of activity! I love it!
Rachel @ Simply Rachel Nicole
