Once spring hits, I always wonder how we survived running on the snow and ice for months on end.

My mood is so much better these days.

38 trips around the sun and I still forget how much the weather affects my moods.

When I got home, Beck asked if he could go on a run with me.  These kids know the way to my heart and how to get me to say yes to anything… Just go on a run with me first and then ask for whatever you want.

I spent some time learning about water pressure and other scuba related items… I have about ten hours of online learning before I start going to the pool.

My friend and her two little kids came over for lunch.

We had cross-country yesterday.   I lucked out and was able to watch Jane Hedengren (she is a National Champion and she won the Brooks PR Girl’s Mile title record in 4:35) doing a workout on the same field we were on.  I am pretty sure her feet never touched the ground.  Her form is incredible.

Sam’s Club frozen pizza dough (sold at the food court and it is even shaped for you and you just have to defrost it for a few hours) provided a wonderful dinner.

It’s time to clear out the coats and sweaters and not see them for a very long time!  I love seeing what people are wearing for the upcoming season, so here will be my basics for the best seasons of the year:

*These birkenstocks.

*These Levi denim shorts.  I have them in Ojai Luxor Last and also in Black.  Friends ask me where they are from whenever I wear them!

*This jumper… My friends have it in the shorts and pants version and I had to copy them with the jumper but I truly want all three.

The back is my favorite… I want it in every color now.

*The skim dupes t-shirts… They are so soft and feel much more expensive than they actually are.

*These oversized shirts with biker shorts!

*This matching short/shirt set… I wore this so often last spring/summer.

*Andrew brought home this super light orange button-up, perfect for spring… I’m buying the matching shorts to use as a swim coverup, too.

*Posting the cute outfit Maddie wore they other day… The ribbed bra and these shorts were the cutest color ever and I’m copying her. Coral for the win.

Any favorite spring/summer outfits?  

What are your weekend plans?

Who feels like they are in a magically much mood now that it is spring?

What’s for lunch today?

(Tank, shorts, socks) 10 miles total for my Wednesday—> 7.5 with friends before the kids went to school, and 2.5 alone after we took the kids to school while listening to Taylor Swift. Speaking of Taylor Swift, I have narrowed down the new 31-track album to my top 11 that I will listen to on repeat … Continue Reading

(Shorts, bra, tank) The liar in me came out again.  I told myself and the others that I was doing a shortened version of a ladder our friend was doing.  Instead, I did the full workout once I got moving.  If doing workouts or getting out the door is hard, I need you to lie. … Continue Reading

(Tank, shorts) Ten miles @ 8:24 pace to start the week. Now for the daily randomness: *Another tooth is gone…. The tooth fairy paid too much the first time because she didn’t have smaller bills on her, and I’m wondering if that motivated Skye to get another one out as soon as possible. *On my … Continue Reading

8 miles @ 8:12 pace.  Running in the sun >>>>>>>> any other type of running. Beck loves being timed doing tasks and so I told him I would time him to see how long he could cuddle me.  Shockingly, he made it three minutes. Goodbyes are hard. To the airport with this girl. Our airport … Continue Reading

(Shorts ((on sale)), socks, shoes, shirt) Lauren talked me into another hill day.  I was sore from the gym, and hills didn’t sound appetizing, but I’m glad she got me on them.  My goal is to make this hill not feel like it is going to kill me and to be able to chat a … Continue Reading
