Thank you for your comments on Andrew’s race recap. Being at his race had me craving more races; nothing brings more FOMO for a runner than being around others who are paying their hard-earned money to endure hours of pain out there on the roads and trails.
We had a bright glimpse of summer life over the weekend. We stayed with Jess’ family at Desert Color, which is a massive community in St. George, Utah, with a lagoon and pools. We got a run in together early on Friday and had the prettiest sunrise.
We ate breakfast and then went straight to the water.
Beck found Dippin’ Dots, which was probably the highlight of his time.
The kids made bracelets for hours and hours.
If pool days lead to napping kids on me, we need a lot more pool days in our lives.
After Andrew’s race, we went straight to lunch. I honestly do not understand how Andrew did what he did in those temperatures. We were all zapped just from spectating in that sun.
I love this little girl’s eyes:
We then joined Jess’ family for some more swimming.
And on our last morning there, we went to the St. George Stairs. I’m not going to lie, seeing my little girl running with my running partner’s little girl was kind of the best thing ever.
There are 333 stairs, and Ammon Clark has done them all in SIXTY ONE SECONDS. I am very intrigued to try going all out up these stairs, but I need to do it when the sun is hidden, and I’ve done an 8-mile warm-up because that’s about how many miles it takes me to feel warmed up and ready to actually sprint.
A few more random things before I let you go…
*How are we at this point in our lives, Andrew?
*Skye got her expander on the roof of her mouth yesterday. She handled it like a champ.
*I cannot get enough air fryer salmon bites, and the marinade in this recipe was fantastic.
*I’m off to do some speed for the first time in over a month… It’s always a bit weird to start over again, but the band-aid needs to be ripped off.
