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 Saturday run, I saw three important things: I saw a Bald Eagle (it was just perched and hanging out on a rock 15 ft away from me… I swear we were the same height). I saw Connor Mantz running on the same trail and he passed by me. I also saw the white light (I was hurting so bad to try to keep up with my friends) during my 15.6 miles w/ 1300 ft of climbing… the last few miles felt like the last miles of a marathon.
*I want to be on the trails as much as possible this summer. I attempted to do some squats after our run and almost fell backward… Trails work our legs so well.
*Skye scored her first goal on Saturday!
*Knox was very thrilled that Real Madrid beat Barcelona on Sunday!
*The other day, I was asked how I get in protein throughout the day (mainly because I hate cooking meat), and my top answers: I drink a CorePower each day, I love to snack on really good deli meat, beef jerky, or hardboiled eggs.
*Did anyone else’s kids make a Flat Stanley in Kindergarten? The kids are supposed to send their Flat Stanley to someone they know and get pictures back of where their Stanley visited. Skye wanted to send it to my best friend in Switzerland, and it has been so fun getting pictures of where he has been, like Dubai!
*I dreaded the day that Brooke was old enough to fly back and forth to California to visit her dad on her own because I was so nervous about it. I’m glad I wasted all of that brainpower worrying about it because it has actually been the easiest and best situation. The flight attendants take such good care of her, and she always returns with a backpack full of snacks. We would have started this younger if we knew how well it was going to go!
*We had a discussion on our run yesterday about how everyone holds their hands while running. I naturally tucked my thumb in while still keeping my hands loose. I think this might be because we are coming off of winter, and I’m used to trying to keep my fingers close to each other to stay warm.
*We got a new Target in our area, so Beck and I had to check it out. We had fun looking around and grabbing some playdough that he had saved up for.
*Does anyone else jump on Reddit for Bluey discussions? Haha… Knox and I had to after the surprise episode, and I loved that the new episode came out the same day as the London Marathon because Bandit was watching the London Marathon in the episode!

Is there a word that you will always struggle to spell?
-Surprise (the above tangent made me think of this question because it took me ten tries to spell the word correctly).
Is there something you are worried about that you shouldn’t have because it has worked out so well?
How do you get most of your protein in?
How do you hold your hands while you run?
