Family time

On Saturday we went up Provo canyon. We took Subway for lunch and the the kids were unsure of going, thinking it would not be any fun.

When I asked Chloe later if she was glad she came she said "I didn't know how much fun it would be!". The kids played in the creek floating TJ's childhood boat, we played catch and just enjoyed being out in nature. Utah is a really beautiful place to live. Especially moving here from New Mexico where the scenery is so very different. I really thought it was heaven when I first moved here. SO green and so much to see and do.

We didn't stay as long as we would have liked because I was having bathroom issues. As in I could not stray too far from it. Early that morning I did a 17 mile run at a pace that I was not used to. I pushed myself to hard for too long and I paid for it once I got home. And the problem was was that I went with girls who are really fast and I didn't want to be the crutch so I did their pace. I did surprise myself and felt good about the first 9 miles which was UP the canyon which we kept mostly at a 8:30 min mile pace. the down hill should have been faster and easier but since I had spent everything I had going up the last half was super hard and I was hurting. Lessons learned.
