Things have been crazy over here at the Pigeon household or
I should say work. I am still covering two stores. Once I finish up my process
I head over and assist with clearing out the back room for the remodel store. I
will say that things are moving nicely on the remodel, and it is pretty cool
going in day in and day out and seeing the changes. Do I miss it? Yes, but I am
glad I wasn’t the lead Executive on this project. It is tough. I am glad I am only helping support them.
Last week I took 4 days off to celebrate my birthday and to
enjoy some time with Lil Man and Traildog. I didn’t run that much I think I logged
only 6 miles last week. I decided that I needed to take some time off after the
50k and rest and recover and come back even stronger. I have 4 weeks before my
big Target race this year. The Sierra Nevada 50 miler. If you remember last
year, this is the race that I had my first DNF with less than 5 miles to go. It
was a tough day out on the trail and I have Redemption in my sights this year. What did I do on my days off? I spent a lot of time of relaxing. I spent most of my afternoons playing with Lil Man and Traildog and I even spent a evening with my family at dinner. I can’t remember the last time we have all been together like that. It has been awhile.
Time for some stroller derby!
This way Q, this way! Corner, Corner
Lil Man shows Q how it is done.
Ohh no man down!
Ahh how cute are they. This was right before they both tumbled into the wall and loud crying followed. But I am proud to say that I got this shout.
Time to mow the yard.
Nephew Q who turns 3 this weekend.
Lil man is ready to play baseball
Batter Up!!

Traildog trying to stay cool and as close to his mommy as he possible could.
Slip and Slide time
Mommy I don't want to get wet, I want to stay right here in the shade with you.
Lil Man had a blast showing me how he could slip and slide.
A little help from daddy to reach the "pool"
Of course when I did return back to work on Friday I was
immediately overwhelmed. I was “asked” to return to the remodel store and help them
sort out their back room. When I read the list of what needed to get done and
how much of it was bone breaking labor I was terrified. It takes a lot of
energy and effort on my part to complete a 2600 piece trailer and then to
head over and continue with the physical work load is even tougher. But I did,
and maybe that is why I wasn’t running that much because I have been exhausted
after my 10 hour shifts of nonstop lifting, problem solving, ect.
I am glad
that it is my 4 day weekend. I really needed this break. I can’t wait to hit
the trails on Saturday enjoy some good BBQ with some awesome friends and then a
birthday party on Sunday for my nephew Q. Busy weekend but one that will
bring joy and happiness to this tired and overworked Pigeon.
Wow Lil Man has really grown this summer. I guess that happens huh? Great photos. Glad you took some time to rest and reconnect with your family.
