This morning I got up at the crack of 5 with my husband, as he got up and ready for work. After I made waffles for breakfast, I changed into my running clothes and headed out for a quick run. I did just over 4 miles in about 41 minutes, then I showered and got ready to go to cub scout meetings.
At scouts today, the 9 year old boys were their usual "spirited" selves, but a couple of them were really in prime form. Apparently, the answer to every question is either "poop" or "butt", and sitting still and listening actually means jump up and down and bang your hands on the metal picnic tables while screaming "I want candy!" Who are these little people? Hahaha! After an hour with them, I was ready to stick a fork in my eye.
I came home and fixed lunch for my kids, then realizing I still had time to make it to the gym for a noon spinning class, I decided to go for it. Maybe the endorphin release would help me regain my sanity. And yes, it worked. :) I even felt so much better that I came home and mowed the lawn to surprise my husband.
A mother's journey from non-runner to marathoner. If I can do it, anyone can...so get out there and run!
I don't know how you do that!!! Bring Chris' gun to the next meeting.
ReplyDeleteI mowed the lawn today, too!
Wow, busy day!! You must sleep 10 hours straight after your packed days.
ReplyDeleteI probably should some days, but I actually only get about 5-6 hours of sleep a night. My husband always teases that I can function on the least sleep of anyone he knows. Being able to function and being at full capacity are two different things, though...
