Can’t Resist + TANGENTS!

I have a new pregnancy update today in case you want to check it out—> 33 Weeks & What Do You Need!

————————————————————————————————

It is too hard to resist the trails during this time of year in Utah.  Last year at this time we were doing trails on average two times a week in prep for our marathon and yesterday reminded me why we were up there so often… every muscle in my legs were burning the whole time.  The trails are a completely different workout for me and they make my legs so much stronger.

Skye gets so excited when we ask her if she wants to go on a bike ride with us.  I have a feeling Andrew is going to have quite the mountain biking group of kids to join him over the years.

I haven’t worn these beauties in a long time.  They are the Mazama and Brooks no longer makes them anymore which makes me sad but luckily I love the Cascadia and Caldera just as much as far as trail shoes go.

We took plenty of breaks for water and for Skye to grow her rock collection.  She picks them out and puts them in Andrew’s pockets ha.

Now to find a way that we can do this every day…

A bit later we dropped Skye off at my sister’s house and went to my doctor’s appointment.  The doctor was running about an hour behind schedule because of an emergency c-section.  So Andrew went to pick up lunch and we ate on the grass while we waited.  Cubby’s is one of our all-time favorites in the area and the sweet potato fries + wild rice & kale salad is my goto.

Post-school (and pre-soccer practice) snacking and catching up on the latest 3rd grade happenings.

And for dinner we had smoothies and cereal and I’m guessing that will be a normal occurrence for dinner for awhile…

I have a few tangents to share today:

*Andrew is really missing the movie theater… We added a TV in our room because let’s be honest, with each week of pregnancy and postpartum life up ahead, I’m in bed more and more.  I found Andrew with his chair set up like the recliners we have in our movie theater with a bag of popcorn.

*A childhood favorite has been sounding really good lately… cinnamon/sugar toast.

*What I want to do whenever I see all of the baskets of laundry I need to put away ha… Luckily, we have taught Brooke and Knox how to put their own laundry away now and that has been a game changer.

*I absolutely loved this episode of Rich Roll with Apollo Ohno and I cannot wait to watch his documentary (The Weight of Gold).   They talk about what it’s like to have a passion with a ’shelf life’ and what happens to these incredible athletes mentally when they go from so much success to then having to retire.  He goes through what it’s like finding himself after his Olympic days were over (and running helped him to figure that out:).

I just consider us friends because I have met him two times;)

*This picture of Skye in the leaves just makes me very happy.

*YES…
