Making Lemonade…

This weeks has been ROUGH! And it’s only Wednesday…

 I wasn’t able to run after work on Monday, so I opted to change my off day; meaning I would run on Tuesday instead.  Ok, fine!  Driving home on Tuesday, Aidan (my youngest) reminded me that he had basketball practice that evening!! How did I forget THAT?!?!?  Ok, fine!  I’ll just run while he is practicing.  Quick change and even FASTER turn around!  On the way to practice, I get an alert reminder that I had to do something at the church that evening! Ok,fine…I’ll drop Aidan off to practice, and run by the church to do what I need to, then run.  By now, it’s too dark (and COLD) to run outside and now it’s almost time to pick up Aidan from practice. Ok, fine!  I’ll just run in the DREADmill when I get home.  Some body needed SOMETHING when I got home (even as I write, I don’t remember what is was or who needed it), so no DREADmill tonight; i.e. Another day with NO exercise (and another moment to knock myself down for it!).  

I decide as I’m falling asleep and still in my running attire, that I will run in the morning.  I mean, everyone LOVES hearing the alarm and thinking “let’s RUN!!”.  When that alarm went off..I talked myself out of it for the first nanosecond.  Then in my half asleep-had awake status, I was able to REMIND myself that I hadn’t run in 2 days. So, I up I got!  

 It ain’t a lot, but I made lemonade out of my lemons!!! As a matter of fact, it looks like I died!! #flatline #codeBLUE

Wish me luck for my plan to run tomorrow and hope I don’t have to make any more lemonade! 😏

Ever have one of “those” weeks?? What lemonade did you make??

    There’s always days but hopefully not weeks when the best laid plans just don’t seem to pan out. Juggling between family, work, and running can be quite problematic some days. Keep on keeping on.

    Those off the track moments deserve forgiveness in times where you’re trading your time for something good (like family needs). You’ll be back on task soon, I admire your motivation!!
