Good morning! I had a good workout on Wednesday so I’m still riding that endorphin high…
5 miles up the canyon and then we turned around and started our workout… It sounds a little confusing but it is actually super easy to keep track of in this canyon because there are triangles on the trail every 100ms so you don’t even have to look at your watch!
1 mile speed changes (100m fast, 100m float on repeat), 1 mile float (aka not easy but you can still talk), 1 mile speed changes, 1 mile float, 1 mile speed changes
By the last mile I was expecting my legs to actually tear off of my body but they didn’t, so that’s a win. This workout challenges me so much because 100m sprints have never been my strength but it helps build those fast twitch muscles up nicely.
5:46, 6:49, 5:45, 6:45, 5:47—> slight down for those first 4 miles and then flat. 11 miles total at 7:15 average.
We even made it to the gym to lift for 22 minutes before needing to be back for kids. I am now up to adding 2 10 lb plates to the barbell for squats. Watch out fall marathons…
Sinkhole update—> There are cones there now. Lauren was telling me about how she had to wipe gravel off of my face after my fall which I completely forgot about. BE CAREFUL out there on the roads!
Somebody has insisted that they be the one to put gel in his hair… so that’s going well.
I asked Great Harvest if I could buy their butter too but you can’t.
Our afternoon was filled with FaceTiming family members to show them that Skye lost her very first tooth!
I made our favorite enchiladas (two less spicy ones on the right). We have the Café appliances which overall I really love them (except for the dishwasher… it feels a bit clumsy and small)… the oven is my favorite because you can turn it on from your phone if you are away. We popped them in right before a game started, turned on the oven from our phone a bit later and came home to a hot dinner.
It’s so nice to no longer be wanting to go to bed at 7 pm and to be outside instead.
And now he has a baseball to snuggle as he watches part of Sandlot.

Tell me about your last speed workout!
What are you making for dinner tonight?
Has anyone else been running in the same spot for decades?
-That canyon and I have been tight for 25 years now. I have every turn and marking memorized.
I really want to try a new shampoo and conditioner… Any recommendations??
