I wish I was kidding when I said that we are holed up at home riding out a Bomb Cyclone. Really that’s just a fun weather term but we are staying in avoiding a very real blizzard. Lot’s of wind, snow, ice and low visibility. The power is going in and I am just grateful that none of us have to be out in these conditions.

For me that meant early alarm so I could get three miles on the treadmill. Two easy miles then 5 x 20 second strides in the last mile to keep things interesting. After running I did about 30 minutes of strength work.

We are currently riding the late winter/spring weather roller coaster. Every year we get glimpses of spring with nice days in the 60s broken up by cold and snow, this year has been colder than normal.

We have been finding lots of ways to keep busy indoors while waiting for spring to show up. Many days spent at indoor playgrounds, museums and libraries.

Cannon might be losing his mind a little, almost everyday he asks me if we can go to the park.

luckily we did make it out this last weekend and it was amazing!

Another kid win was taking them to a story time and tour of the Boulder Rural Fire Department. The firefighters were so sweet with the kids. We got to tour the firehouse and the fire trucks. Cannon was in heaven, he hasn’t stoped talking about fire trucks. Well worth the drive if you live in the area, they do story time once a month!

As for me I have put in over 30 miles on the treadmill in the last couple weeks.

I kept myself entertained watching the the finale of The Bachelor (yes, I know I am too old to watch this show).
