Run, zoo, tuesday fun!

Another day with no peanut butter, or nsaids, and tolerable abdominal pain. I am hoping it is helping my gut....but i also did get an appt with my gi doc in 2 weeks, so that should help me figure out my lymphocytic colitis plan of action. :( 

This morning started off with an 8 mile run, i was hoping for 12 today but that will wait til thursday. Henry biked himself and i wasnt certain he was ready for 12 miles; however, i think he would have made it! 

Then we went to the Como zoo in St.paul, MN. If you are ever in MN it is a great zoo to visit! Free admission, sea lion shows, lots of small animal exhibits throughout zoo (snakes, parrots, etc.) with staff talking about each animal. The kids love it! They also have rides ($), which we do not always do, but did today! We also brought my nephew with today so the kids had a blast! 

When we got home the kids enjoyed having their cousin here and played outside, ate supper, then went to the ball field while i went biking! I had a great ride. It was nice and peaceful after a day filled with kids laughter, screams, and fun!

Here are a few photos to recap the day.....

Vacation

I am on vacation for two weeks!!!!! :) as soon as i got out of work this morning i saw my reminder in my phone for vacation, needless to say, i am excited! Tomorrow i plan to run in the am, and do my daily hiit then its off to Como zoo with the kids and my nephew! 

Today's workout was boring, but at least i did it. Elliptical for an hour and walk pushing Olivia and henry biked 5.5 miles in 1:03:00! 

Today i also did not eat any peanut butter, it was hard but i think i am going to try it for a few weeks and see if it helps my lymphocytic colitis.... We shall see! I need to find other filling foods though because i was hungry for most of the day today while awake..... Suggestions????

Ill leave you with a few pics from the day! 

My favorite flower blooming at our house! 

View from my walk....and finally, my henry riding independently on his new big bike! He was the speedster tonight, i could not ever catch up! Tomorrow am we will see how it goes when i want to run with him biking!?!? 

Good night~katie
