Just how I want to spend my afternoons

I love spending my afternoons, barefoot, reading and eating popcorn out in the front lawn chair. Super relaxing on a beautiful spring day. Exactly what I needed after not feeling like working or doing anything. 

More running this morning but it will be 3 quick miles. Soccer tonight for 3 speed miles and that's about it with some work thrown in for my Wednesday!

Tuesday already!

My Monday fun with Evan is already over. He is a busy boy! Always on the phone. It's got to be his favorite toy. He keeps me busy running to pick up after he goes through every drawer and empties it out. My house was an Evan disaster and that was with me picking up all day long. 

I just love his little jeans. 

Celina had a band performance last night. They were being judged. It was a very quick, one song night and that's okay with me. We did get to listen to a few other songs as we waited for her turn to play and then the kids all had to listen to the next performance. We still got out of there quick. Then on to dinner for some Mexican food. 

I didn't give myself enough time to run more then 3 miles Monday morning. That was okay. I decided to use my old trusty Garmin since the new 610 won't give me my mile splits. I still need to figure out what settings I need to have on for my mile times and I've given up for now. I just want to know my mile pace. 

Explore Sunday

Before I get into Explore Sunday.. I just have to say...."it feels great to have eye lashes again!". It was of course at the expense of me not running or biking because my appointment was 8am early. Instead we did an Explore Sunday. Sometimes you have to fore go the workout to do something different. Plus, my stomach pains didn't go away and who can run with a stomach ache? Not me.  

We decided to Explore the Vermilion River in Hastings, MN. I had no idea there was a waterfall in town at this park and lot of walking/bike paths. 

We could not have asked for a better Sunday, temperatures at 76+F, A bit windy, too windy to bike but the breeze felt nice. 

It was a flip flop and shorts with a tank top kind of day. We haven't had a day like this since September? 

We ended our explore Sunday at the Mississippi river. A drink with some popcorn then headed home to BBQ shrimp and chicken on the grill.

I need to start cooking shrimp more often. I just used butter and fresh garlic. Grilled and then finished them off in the pan to add the butter/garlic.
