the best medicine

Yesterday was a wopping 45 degrees! So we took advantage of it! We spent an hour and a half at the park, and the girls still didn't want to leave. But it had been over two hours since Reagan had gone potty and there wasn't a restroom around, so I didn't want to chance her needing to go. The girls were in super good moods (so was I), and they both took good naps afterward! Rick and I even took turns running last night, and it was PERFECT running weather! I forgot how much I LOVE running outside! The last time I ran outside was November, so I didn't know how far I would get. Surprisingly, I made it 1.5 miles, and only stopped because it was getting really dark outside. Apparently doing a workout video 1-2 times a week combined with 1 day a week of basketball keeps me in better shape than I expected! Maybe Molly and I will actually be able to run a 10k or half marathon this year after all! It is already 52 degrees outside this morning, and I am sooooo excited! We are going to go spend the afternoon at the Park with Molly and Kalli, and maybe I can even fit in another run this morning! I LOVE spring (even though it isn't really here yet). Warm weather and sunshine can cure just about everything for me!

Oh I'm so jealous! Michigan springtime weather is so refreshing! Its so cold here in Delaware! And windy. But hopefully we'll get some warmth this weekend too!

Glad you liked Ben's 'lips' picture! He's so silly...

Oh, I'm so with you! I ran yesterday too, and I kept just gulping in the fresh air! Sorry about the other day. We only stopped at the outlets briefly, because Skyler needed to get home for a nap. I didn't call you about Castaway Cafe, because I figured it was probably against quarantine protocol! Can't wait for our getaway next week!

My little girl and my little girl's, little girls! Yeh, this weather has helped me start shaping up for our 5 mile walk for C.F. (I might run part of it) LoveDad/Grampa

I'm glad you had a nice day to go outside! Warm weather always puts me in a good mood too. That's great that you're running, now if only Nick and I could get inspired to run too. Then we'd all be in great shape!
