My son turned 4 this week and we are having his birthday party on the weekend. There is lots to do and I just had to get a run in before the weekend. Normally I would run home from work but the husband asked that I get home as soon as possible so we could tidy up and that’s when I remembered that I have to take the cat to the Veterinarian tonight.
What’s a girl to do?
I set my alarm for 6:25 am. Husband thought I was a little nutso for doing so and I’m sure he placed a little bet to himself that I would just roll over and ignore it. But I didn’t! I had a few spoonfuls of plain yogurt and a glass of water and headed out.
I felt great for the first 10 minutes. Then I realized how tired I was and had to walk more than I normally do, but I soldiered on and finished my 5 km in a decent time.
Overall, it was really nice to get out early and get the run done. I think I may make a weekly habit of doing this early in the morning. It certainly frees up the rest of the day to do other stuff, like cleaning my house.
You are doing an amazing job! I am a little ashamed of how much I’ve been neglecting the running.
Thank you! And nonsense – you have nothing to be ashamed of. You’ve got a lot going on right now. Best to keep focus on staying healthy. You will get back into running when ready.
