My first official morning of spring break found me in the streets. When I was little and would complain that I was bored or would be particularly annoying my parents would often tell me to “go play out in the street”. I guess I took that to heart, because now, the streets have become my playground. The mountains and trails are where I would prefer to be, but still snow-covered, I take to the streets. I put in ten miles this morning, my first double digit run since summer, a little bit of a stretch out of my normal routine. It reminded me of the Eleanor Roosevelt quote, “Do one thing every day that scares you.”
I love the article HERE on the Athleta blog about doing one thing everyday that scares you.
Here’s a quick recap of my life lately in pictures.
Kevin and I took a sunset penny board ride to Starbucks. So happy for a little warmth and sunshine finally.
Friday before my brother’s lacrosse game I took a little run through Salt Lake City and took a moment to pray under the shadow of the beautiful Salt Lake Temple
My brother is becoming an awesome lacrosse player!
Saturday was a ski day at Ogden Nordic
It was so warm! Spring skiing is here!!
My ski buddy
Saturday was so gorgeous my brother and I took a little spin around town, him on his mountain bike and me on my penny board. This is our cow friend we made on that ride.
Saturday I hung out with the one and only Matt Palmer. He has a third cd out now! One of my oldest and best friends. He even wrote a song and dedicated it to me.
Matt’s quote wall in his bedroom. This is why I love him.
Rainy sunday walk with the brother in matching Columbia jackets
The highlight of my week was my first letter back from Jake!!!! I was practically dancing around the house when I found it! It was so good to hear he is doing great, and I could feel his strength and love through something as simple as a letter.
