Last night we went swimming as a family...

...and today the girls and I spent the day at a water park. I'm pretty sure the highlight for Ellie Bean was getting nachos. They are her new obsession. Can't say that I blame her.

Apparently my 90 minutes yesterday and 75 minutes today of pool running hasn't been enough pool time. I am pretty sure my skin will never be the same after it's constant exposure to chlorine these past seven weeks.

That's right! I'm almost at the eight week mark, which means my return to running is approaching. I have been researching different training plans to help ease myself back into running post-stress fracture.

There will be walking alternated with running and only every other day for a week or so. I'll post my runs each time, just in case you are curious. What I'm curious to see is how much my pool running has helped maintain my running fitness!! I'll let you know.

And then there's this. Thank goodness for Pinterest! Where else would we find things like this?!?

What are your favorite nacho toppings? I like mine loaded with cheese, black beans, chicken, salsa, olives and a little sour cream.

What was the highlight of your Tuesday?

  1. My fav nacho toppings are cheese and jalapeños! YUM! It looks like your kiddos had a lot of fun at the pool :) I can't wait til I take my 4 month old baby girl to the pool for the very first time. The highlight of my Tuesday was probably playing with my baby girl and seeing my hubby after work. Simple, but I feel so blessed!

Carpet Burn On My Butt (and a giveaway)

After two lame, pathetic, lackluster weeks of running, I woke up excited to run yesterday. And today, I wore my running clothes all morning in anticipation of my nap time run today. Even in spite of sore glutes and tired quads from getting in some P90X Core Synergistics last night, I couldn't wait to get moving on Millie. I am a planner. Today I had a plan to get my run in while my girls slept, and my day was organized accordingly. I am also a creature of habit. The first thing I do when I roll out of bed every single day is make my bed and my girls' beds. If I do something else first, it throws off the entire morning. I am a creature of habit when it comes to my running routines as well. There are a few things that differ depending on whether I am running on Millie or outside, whether my girls are asleep or not, and whether or not they are joining me in the jogger. Yet, no matter when, where, how far or with whom I run, some things are always the same. My hair goes into a pony

I wasn't sure going in...

Yep, I'm checking in. Why? Because I did something completely out of my comfort zone that I wanted to share with you. Last week I went to a place near Salt Lake called Dexa Body, where I got a DEXA Scan. For those unfamiliar with what that is, I asked Google to help us out:  "Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry  ( DXA , previously  DEXA ) is a means of measuring  bone mineral density  (BMD). Two  X-ray  beams, with different  energy levels , are aimed at the patient's  bones . When  soft tissue   absorption is subtracted out, the  bone mineral density  (BMD) can be determined from the absorption of each beam by bone. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the most widely used and most thoroughly studied bone density measurement technology." Since that is pretty medical sounding, here's my take. A DEXA Scan is a tool to measure your total body composition. It specifically breaks down the regional composition of your lean and fat tissue. It gives a fat distribution

Social Media: Some good, a lot of bad, and way too much ugly

There are a lot of good things that come from social media. We can connect with people we have lost touch with. We can unite as a group (runners!!) with a comment interest. We can promote a good cause. Sadly though, what social media does best is makes us feel bad about ourselves and makes us feel negatively towards others. This isn't just my opinion, although I can unquestionably support the truth behind this based on my own experience. I have spent way too much time feeling bad about myself as a result of comparing myself to others based on their Instagram or Facebook versions of themselves. And there are several people I have started feeling negatively about or have become completely annoyed with because of their IG and FB posts. It isn't just me though. There are actual studies that can back me up on the negative impact social media can have. I have read dozens of articles reviewing many different studies that show the overwhelmingly negative (vs. positive) effec
