Comfy

See previous post for full effect...

Today we went swimming with some friends, had a great time, got very worn out, came home for a nap, and decided this would be better than sleeping in the crib.

Good thing I decided to check on her- I don't know how long gravity would have allowed this particular position.

Nap times aren't quite as smooth as they used to be but we're making it work :)

Essentials

Essentials for a first Half marathon in no particular order:

1. Find a babysitter who will spend the night so when you leave at 4am you're set.
2. Have an awesome running partner (supportive, concerned, handsome- see below)

3. Calendar on the bathroom mirror to get the satisfaction of checking off every run
4. Sign up for a race that buses you to the top of the canyon and then you run downhill nearly the whole way (ie Provo canyon)

5. Be prepared for sore legs
6. Be very happy that is was just 13.1 and not the 26.2 that will happen on October 3 aahhhhh
6. Ipod shuffle
7. Smart wool sock and good shoes and ibuprofin

M's swim lesson

Mackenzie has been taking 1 on 1 swim lessons this summer from a great teacher. She's gotten way more comfortable in the water. It's made our summer much more fun because I can now take both girls to the pool by myself (or more often Robert takes both girls while I take a breather at home).
