Naps DO make you faster

Emily has taught me many things since coming into my life ... the most recent being how amazing naps are!

Emily sometimes naps 2x a day when she has weekends with us ... and sometimes only once. When she naps twice in a day, we often go for a run for her first nap - she loves napping in the Chariot, and will often 'ask' for a morning run when she is feeling a bit tierd. It's pretty cute! Running with the chariot is fun, and Jonathan and I take turns pushing it down the trail, trading off every one mile.

For her second nap we often join her, and that means we get a nap too! If I am not feeling tired, i hop on the trainer and get in an hour or so spin.

When she naps once we often start napping with her and  then wake up after an hour and then ... again, i hope on the bike and ride till she wakes up. Some days she'll sleep for 3 hours - that is a long training ride ;-)

Napping with Em is awesome! Of course Emily is even more aweome ... she has taught me so much ... especially how to enjoy the many things we forget to celebrate in life.
