On Marathon Monday 2022, we ran Boston together, and on Marathon Monday 2024, we ran 11 miles @ 8:18 average together and stopped for water at a Chevron… It was basically just as exciting.

Beck and I watched the marathon from the couch. I was in heaven, watching the leaders and tracking all of my friends on my phone simultaneously.

For dinner I made my kid’s favorite-> chicken roll-ups.

Now let’s get talking about some other things:

*Emma Bates’s face looked so relaxed as she was leading.

*I was so impressed by Lemma leading and running alone for most of the race. I’m telling you, the adidas speed shoes are amazing. I think Lemma agrees with me.

*The female winner, Hellen Obiri, has a larger arm swing than the other athletes, which made me feel better because I was told just last week that I needed to chill out with my arm swing.

*Beck told me he would grab a snack to eat in the car as we were taking the kids to school… Did he think the kid’s school was 2 hours away?!

*My allergies have started to kick in. PLEASE SEND ME ALLERGY MEDICATION RECOMMENDATIONS. I want to feel better, but I don’t want to be a zombie from allergy medication.

*These are my friend’s Alphafly 3s that she wore for Boston. I am so intrigued. I want to try them, but I wasn’t a big fan of the 2s, and I’m wondering if anyone has tried both and if the 3s are much different.

*Utahns, if you have the frozen Ruby Snap cookies that you bake at home at your grocery store, please purchase them. I needed these after a looooooong day.

*One of my favorite IG accounts shared this wisdom with me, and now I need to get this bread:

*Utah is getting a hockey team, which I am pleased about.

*Brooke found where we stayed in Sevilla, Spain, on Google Earth, making us want to pack our bags and return. She didn’t use the address to find it; she just remembered the different buildings and streets we took to get to it from the Plaza.
