Mom on the Run

Yesterday was just one of those days...  girls were difficult in the morning.  I had problems all day at work, starting from about 5 minutes after I got in, and lasting up through the time that I left (which was late).  I changed in the bathroom at work, like I usually do.  If I'm in my workout clothes when I leave the building, then I really have no excuse.  I MUST work out!

It had rained most of the day, and traffic was terrible.  I was late.  I called Colin.  I told him I needed to run outside and may be home a little later.  He tried to convince me to just go to the Y.

Didn't want to be inside.  Being inside all day had made me crazy.

It was over 90 outside.  Didn't care.

Puddles everywhere with more black clouds blowing in.  Didn't care.

Didn't have my hydration pack with me, only a regular water bottle.  Didn't care.  I could carry my water in my hand.

So I went to a park near my house and ran a quick 2 miles.  And when I say quick, I mean it!  I usually run in the 10:00 to 10:20 range.  These were clocked at 9:36 and 9:45.  Ha!  Maybe I am faster than I thought!

Took a quick picture and hopped back in the car, feeling refreshed and ready to head home and see my family.

I usually don't take pictures of my post-workout glow.  So why this time?  Check out Jen @ Prior Fat Girl and find out!!!

And now it's Thursday morning...  Time to take a deep breath and remind myself that today is a new day with new possibilities, and that everything will work out OK.  And if it's not, I'll lace up those Sauconys and hit the road again.
