Life nearly got in the way

Life nearly got in the way, but I succeeded in pressing on and getting in 3.5 miles this evening.  I was supposed to go for my standard Tue run with Susan and then life got in the way.  I was still up for squeezing it in, but she had lost the spirit and was deep into running errands (what every busy mom does on her "day off") and decided to bag it.  Weather was gorgeous so I still held out hope and finally called Stacy about 7 PM and asked if she was good for an 8:30 run (our standard time as she puts her kids to bed first).  She was game - YAY!  God bless her, even after coming home from the ball field and getting everyone run through the shower and headed towards bed.  We just did my neighborhood - one of our somewhat standard routes (plus a little). 

This morning my poor little girl had to have a tooth removed and that did a fair bit to screw up my day (and hers).  Tomorrow I'm going to have to hit work hard and catch up.  I have a deadline that is technically tomorrow afternoon, but I'd like to finish and suck up to the City review guys by turning it in before noon.  I had planned on turning it in today, but said tooth removal fouled up that plan as I had to keep her home to change the initial dressing and then find something for her for lunch.  But I'm in charge of pick up tomorrow too so I'll have to bust a move back to town by 3:00.  Never mind the client that wants his sewer plans that I said I'd only need a couple weeks to do a month ago.  Oops.  And wouldn't you know it, when I went to renew my library books - one had a stupid "hold" on it so I have to go by there tomorrow and return that one (plus the others I've read already).

Maybe the title of this post should be..."It's always something!"

  5. I think it's amazing that you still have the energy to bust out a run so late at night. I used to be able to (wish I still could actually), but just can't anymore.

  6. Nice job getting out there in the evening and fitting in the run! It's tough to fit it all in.
