How I spent my Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's day.. busy...  family dinner..

 Steve cooked a lemon chicken on the grill. I always need BBQ sauce with grilled chicken. Salad and some potatoes that I smashed and added a ton of butter. There is just no holding back on Mother's Day. 
I made a raspberry/blueberry tart. I discovered a new Tip to making tarts. Coat the bottom with melted chocolate & let harden, this is so the crust says flaky/crispy and doesn't get soggy from the pudding. I discovered this while having a slice of tart in DC. 

 My kids each gave me a hand written Mother's Day note. I have the best kids in the world. 

I not only made a tart for dessert, but I mowed our front lawn, trimmed the grass edges, washed clothes, cleaned the house and did the dishes. Plus, I ran 8 miles.. all in a days work for this Mom. 

It rained like crazy last night and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to run this morning. I was happy to find out the rain stopped and the weather forecast was dry until tonight. I started out going to the gym with Steve. My plan was to stretch out my calves as much as I could before running. I did my ad workout, lifted weights for my arms and legs.. did a 5 minute warm up on the stationary bike and headed for home 3.5 miles. 

I got home and Logan wanted to bike while I ran another 4 miles. We did the dirt to pavement loop. I was so happy to have company even if he was far in front of me. Really glad to be done with my run 7.45 miles.
