Going Up Barr Trail to No Name Creek:

Heading down:


I ran by myself this morning. So I decided it was an “easy” week and “just” ran 7 miles in 93 minutes.

Treadmill run. This time I kept it at 10% the whole time and varied my speed on alternate minutes from walking (3.0) to running (5.0)

An easy run with Zevan in Monument Valley Park…
Today Zevan is 3 years old. Last night Doug and I stayed up late filling 5 very large inflatable insects with air and hanging them all over the living room. When I asked Zevan what kind of birthday he wanted, he specifically said, “Superman with giant bugs.” So that’s what he got.
When we woke up this morning, he was laying with us in bed, and I smooched him and said, “Happy Birthday, Zevan.” He got the biggest grin on his face. He actually went on the potty with a smile on his face. Then I led him downstairs, and he screamed with glee: “Giant bugs in the sky!”
It was so cute.
He was just grinning like he was going to burst from happiness the whole day.
We had a playdate birthday party with his friends from West Side Moms. It was so, so, so cute! He was so, so, so happy!
It was pretty much the perfect day for him. Pepperoni pizza, presents, Superman cupcake cake, pinata and even some trampoline time with his friends.
He loved his presents. He even got live ladybugs and praying mantis eggs. Wow!
