On Thursday morning Abe and I went running at the track together. I ran a mile! I feel my body getting stronger and stronger, even though I still have my annoying groin pain and feet issues. I love feeling strong and energetic and when I jogged around the track, I imagined that I was chasing my strong, energetic self. It was quite motivating. Plus, I adore working out with Abe. It is so wonderful to have my mom with us for lots of reasons–one of them being that Abe and I can actually leave the house and work out in the early morning together!
In the afternoon I took the kids to the Orem Bounce House because I had a Groupon for it. It was our first time there and I did not like it at all. It felt dingy and gross, and I was so tired I was seeing stars. But the kids got a lot of energy out, and Clarissa had a grand time.
Then we came home and I made Swedish meatballs for dinner. I improvised and added red pepper and quinoa to them. It took me a longish time to make them, so they weren’t done before Abe had to take Mary to piano. But they did turn out yummy.
