Sending love.

I wrote this post before finding out that Elise had passed. I hope her entire family feels comforted and so beyond loved at this time.

It was an 8.5 miles @ 8:18 pace kind of a day… We did Emilee’s warm-up and dropped her off at a track for her speed workout, and I had the smallest itch to join her for speed (itty bitty but it’s a step). Maybe I’ll be ready again soon?

Beck joined me for some renegade rows afterward, and my shoulders will hurt for a very long time due to this.

Skye decided to join her cousin’s running club, and she said she was too excited to sleep the night before her first run with them. I bought her some new running shorts, and they are too cute for words.

These two ran TWO miles together.

Kids outside + movement + making connections with others is all I could ever hope for.

Once I got there, I decided to join them (anxious mom). I was in a normal bra (that was painful), sambas, and tight jeans, so it didn’t feel great, but I loved seeing them in action.

I felt almost as cool as my sister when she ran 6 miles in jeans and flip-flops to help me finish the marathon that I wanted to quit desperately.

Beck and I then hung out and watched them stretch and do core.

Watching Andrew during the taper has been quite fascinating. Bikers and runners, we are all the same. He got a cold mid-taper and he checks the weather 15 times a day. I feel more united in our sports than ever.

Andrew’s birthday week needed a slice of his favorite cheesecake–> Cheesecake Factory Cinnabon. Try it.

Also, update from yesterday’s cereal vs. milk question. I poured the milk before the cereal to see my kids’ reactions. They were upset;). Also, I must tell you that a family member of mine (I cannot name any names;) uses water with their cereal. I am wondering if anyone else does this?
