Things have really cranked up in the heat department over here, and while I feel like I am somewhat acclimating, running is feeling much, much harder than normal. The thing I’ve been telling myself to spin the heat into a positive is that it is giving me FREE fitness. I’m not doing one thing extra in terms of my training, just doing the same thing I’ve done every day this year and going out for a run, but the heat is making me fitter all for free! So, happy free fitness July. What a perk to get all of this fitness with just the minor inconvenience of sweat in our eyeballs;)
These shoes are perfection in my opinion, EXCEPT for how easily rocks get stuck in them.
I also got a run with Andrew over the last few days.
Along with some strength training while watching the new Little House on the Prairie on Netflix. IT IS SO GOOD, and I’m only allowing myself to watch it while strength training, so I have that to look forward to.
We got in some swimming over the weekend, and I accidentally used a weird filter on the photo.
Side note: I will never get over how cool her eyes are…
We have eaten out way too much this summer, and all of us are just wanting meals at home again, so we went to our favorite grocery store, Harmons, to get some fresh pasta. We are never sick of getting their gelato there as an appetizer for dinner; this fresh peaches-and-cream one was something else!
And Beck finally found the Nutella ice cream he has desperately wanted that has been advertised during every commercial break during the World Cup, taunting him;)
And then we made this Summer Tomato Basil Pasta with Burrata. It was perfection.
And on Sunday, Brookie came home. She was gone for a week with her dad and it felt like a year (for me;). The reunion felt so good.
So good.
My sister held a party at her house, and she had a bagel/muffin/donut bar. It all tasted so good.
And of course this! Skye was so happy with Spain winning!
