University of Utah has Spring Break this week, so I'm enjoying a stay-cation for the most part this week. Besides an appointment with an athlete, some hydration tests, and planning for football nutrition education, I've been able to be home getting more things done around the house.
Olympus Track is officially underway! We started "mandatory" practices last week Monday and held our time trial yesterday. We are hosting the first meet of the season next week Tuesday. We've had beautiful running weather--50's and sunny most days. Todd is running a 5K this weekend and many of the athletes we coach are coming to watch. Since he's been training hard to keep up with the fasted boy on the team, he's running pretty fast right now. Should be a great race! My Boston Marathon training is really picking up, and is going really well! It's pretty intense though and I've seemed to need 9+ hours of sleep--crazy! Less than 6 weeks to go!
We've continued to go to Utah sporting events. Men's tennis vs. BYU was exciting! We've never watched a match except on TV, so this was a first. Todd was convinced to go based on the free pizza that would be at the meet--but he ended up liking more than just the pizza. We also went to the Washington vs. Utah Gymnastics meet. Utah has an excellent team--ranked 5th in the nation. We're following Utah in the PAC12 Championship. Won in the first round!
We're back to consistently going to our church small group on Wednesday nights. We love the community we've found in this group of young couples!
We are looking forward to next weekend when the Ben & Alivia and Jeff & Lindsey come to Utah. The Lombardos are running a 50K trail race on Antelope Island. We also have plans for Todd's Spring Break! We're going to spend the week at Newport Coast in California. We'll also stop at Death Valley National Park on our way there--one of the few National Parks in California that we didn't stop at last summer.
That's all for now. Hopefully next time I'll have some pictures to share--but I haven't taken any lately!
