Week 7 At School, Too

Ugh. The quarter is winding down. But I'm still getting in some workouts. Here's the short and sweet:

Total miles for the week: 7.1
Total cumulative miles: 32.79

   Workouts:

      2/15: 2.8 walk around the lake with Mom + 4 boys

      2/19: 3.2 elliptical

      2/21: 1.1 walk around the park

The weather lately has been unbelievable. The trees are pink and white, daffodils are already blooming, and I don't think tulips are very far behind. Yay! I think this is my second favorite time of year, or maybe it would be my favorite if I could snap out of the winter blahs enough to realize that I should look forward to it. But I mostly find myself daydreaming about autumn. Spring is pretty darned wonderful itself, don't get me wrong. I wish I could figure out how to keep those lovely pink trees around longer, and I think the only solution is to spend as much time outside while they're blooming as possible. So I'm thinking lots of walks are in my future.

In other news, I made these this week, and we now have a new stand-by pancake recipe. Sooooo yummy, so hearty, so easy. I added cinnamon to the second batch, which just put them over the top. They're delish with frozen blueberries, yum with chocolate chips. Next time I think I'll try blackberries. The batter also keeps pretty well in the fridge if you don't eat them all at once. My only complaint is that they were so thick and hearty that they really took forever to cook. Next time I'll turn up my electric skillet-thing.
