I got up this morning thrilled to find we were back online almost business as usual, thanks to Zak working his late night his magic when he got home. It was like we had a visit from Internet Claus. After playing a little online catch up this morning I headed out for a run.
I ran just over 4 miles in about a half hour. It was such a refreshingly cool and comfortable morning I thought I’d take a cool down ride on my bike around the neighborhood.
Continuing with today’s fruit for breakfast theme, I polished off a bunch of a cantaloupe as I got us packed up and ready to the head to the museum today.
This was also about the same time that Ava learned the internet was down.
I can totally relate, kid.
So off we went to the Museum of Play.
We played.
And waited for butterflies to land on our shadows.
Have I mentioned that my legs have grown longer? I think it’s all the green juice.
Today’s workout was CANCELLED thanks to spending the entire morning troubleshooting internet issues. I’m feeling really pathetic right at this moment.
No official workout but I do sort of feel like I got a stairmaster workout considering the number of times I’ve been up and down the stairs, basement stairs included. We’ve got all matters of hubs, switches, modems and routers on all three levels of the house – and I’ve gotten to know them all quite well today.
The first line of support, my Network Admin (Zak) was helpful but distracted. That damn pesky job always getting in the way of what’s “really” important.
Lots of awards to hand out today, let’s get right to it.
The award for today’s Best Accidental Lunch goes to:
Dates with Almond Butter! We’re going to need four awards, one for each of them.
The award for the Most Unoriginal Snack goes to:
Watermelon. Boring.
The award for the Messiest Watermelon Eater:
Oh! That’d be me! I’m honored. I don’t even have a speech prepared.
We’re presenting the Barbie with the Craziest Hair and Worst Tan to:
I set the alarm for 5:30 this morning so I could get out early and beat the heat. It was still dark I ended up tinkering around and didn’t get my butt out the door until 7.
I spent what felt like an hour sawing my slightly more ripe peach off it’s pit.
A muggy but not-too-hot run this morning for 6.24 miles in 53 minutes – just a nice and easy pace considering the distance and air thickness today.
Back home, Zak asked if I was going to make juice. I think he’s hooked.
My three course breakfast did good by me today. Real good.
I was feeling slightly hungry when I made the girls lunch, I snacked on my favorite snacky snackerson as of late.
And a couple of banana chips too.
After my attempt at banana chips last week we’ve been living banana chip loco here. Even Maxine, also known as Queen of Banana Denial, will eat these. Score one for Team Banana!
Today is a planned rest day. I was tempted to take yesterday off but Zak wanted to swim early on Monday and go straight to work – meaning I wouldn’t be to run unless I got up well before 5. hahahahahyeahright. I pushed my rest day off until today and it worked out well for both of us.
I slept in this morning until about 6:45. After some time on the computer I cut into a not-quite-ripe peach. A little too much crunch, but still sweet.
Coffee! After my run! Wheeeee!
Thanks to a little big cup of coffee I was able to hold out for some granola to bake and add to my breakfast.
Sprinkling granola on top of overnight oats is the stuff dreams are made of.
Yes, there really are overnight oats buried under Mt. Banana, Almond Butter River and Granola Land Mine.
As part of my very loose half marathon training plan (i.e., getting in one long run a week between 7 – 10 miles) I had a long run on tap for today.
My running buddy Shawn said he was up for going long today so he came out to run with me. Waiting for him to arrive, I enjoyed a plum snowman.
Watch them disappear.

Like magic! I think there was about a 15 second lapse between each of those photos. I’m a plum eating machine!
