Tuesday Tangents!

That was cold. Very cold. 8 miles to start out the week.

When I saw the new snow in the mountains, I had to keep telling myself that this is a good thing because our mountains need the water. I didn’t do a good job convincing myself.

I got to see Kodi yesterday and hear all about her Boston Marathon experience running a 2:24 and LEADING the race for 18 miles. I can’t wait to see what she does next. PS if you are looking for a coach, Kodi is a phenomenal one!

Grilled cheese and tomato soup were pretty much a requirement yesterday.

This mix is better than all other mixes and homemade brownies. I will stand by this opinion forever.

Now for the tangents of the day:

*Shauna asked yesterday about my at-home strength set-up and what I have, so here we go… I have the Stackt Mat, which is incredibly useful because it folds up so nicely and offers different heights. The cushioning gives the perfect amount of give and structure. I have this bench, which I carry in and out to the garage when I am not using it. It works perfectly for me. I love my pretty weights; the grip on them is perfect. I have some older, heavier weights, and I need to get some 50s asap. I love the shoes I use for strength training, resistance bands, and some blocks for yoga. I use the CGX app for all my workouts and can’t believe how much stronger I feel after a few months.

*Oh, and this exercise ball (for hamstring curls especially). My weight room is also used for exchanging school gossip/secrets, puzzles, and my home office.

*He loves getting to preschool early because it means he gets to come up to the front seat and hang out for a bit. He gets so jealous of the big kids getting to be in the front that he wants the experience in a parked car.
