Such a slacker lately. I think I'm just needing some recovery...hopefully the mojo isn't gone, just recovering. I was supposed to meet Becca for an early morning 10 mile run, but I woke up with a still achy hammy, headache and gut ache so I weasled out of it and went back to bed.
As karma would have it, my friend that was supposed to hike with me this morning cancelled. I had told the nursery at the gym that I wouldn't be there and that Adam was getting a break, because he'd been a little turd the past couple days. So, I couldn't go to the gym. I finally decided to just take my boys and Lucy up the canyon anyway. I packed Adam (3) on my back with the water bag, hopefully that helped the calorie burn. Nathan (6) walked himself and we let Lucy run around and just enjoy a nice little hike out.
It was a BEAUTIFUL day! Just perfect up the canyon, a little wind, but nothing horrible. We hiked an hour up and made it to the 2nd set of picnic tables in Yellow Fork and then took a break, ate some swedish fish and pretzels, then packed up and went back to the cars. Two+ hours out on the trail just loving life! I was really glad I got out and was able to enjoy something other than the gym walls with my boys. A morning I don't regret!
Yesterday I worked in the front yard all afternoon and today it was the back yard. I'm only 1/2 way through it, but there is always tomorrow. I'm exhausted from so much crazy yard work! I guess I shouldn't have put it off so long, but I'm loving the way the yard looks after I get through a flower bed :) Now I just need another garbage can! I'm out of space... |
