I was a mature runner yesterday. My friends had downhill mile repeats (MTCs, aka my favorite workout ever), and I was really looking forward to them. I took my caffeinated gel even to help me cruise down as fast as I could. I haven’t done these since before my back/hamstring situation and realized… I don’t want that to happen again because the downhill pounding is what really aggravated my injury in the first place. In years past, I would have crossed my fingers, hoped for the best, and bombed down the hill…but I’m happy to say, I didn’t even try yesterday. 10 miles @ 8:26 pace instead.
Our friend always sits in a squat after she finishes her runs, and so I copied her yesterday, and it feels so good post-run. Try it!
It was the last day of summer, so I told the kids that I’d take them for a treat. They chose Swig for Frozen Hot Chocolates. 100% of the time, when we go out for things, I make us all share and split items, or I’m using coupons, haha, but yesterday, I let them each get their own. They couldn’t believe it.
On my second tub of this hummus from Costco. I can’t get enough.
My sister had coupons to go to Classic Skating, so of course we joined them there. The exhaustion that comes from scootering:
And then a neighbor’s last day of summer party.
Skye has mastered her front flip off the diving board.
And then we showered and went to Brooke and Knox’s back-to-school night. Brooke is in health this semester, and meeting her teacher and being in the health classroom made me miss teaching health very much.
Back to packing lunches every night of our lives again;)
As sad as I am about them going back to school, it did feel nice to get in bed at a decent hour again. This documentary (Skywalkers) made my hands sweat:

Do you use coupons often?
-The high I get from using a coupon or a code competes with my runner’s high. I LOVE THEM. Andrew goes and hides when I get them out at a store;)
Have a favorite stretch?
Give me school lunch ideas. They are already so sick of a normal sandwich;)
Teachers reading… How are you feeling about the new school year? Ready or not?
