2 weeks down, 14 to go!
Do you notice that my Thursday run this week is only half colored in? Well, that is because I only completed half of a run. I came home from work at 6:15 and jumped on the treadmill to knock my little 3 miler out. I was feeling so good. So dedicated! So committed! I don't normally like to run after a long day at work, but that was really the only time I could fit it in, and because I am too scared to miss a run, I made myself just do it! I'm really working on this dedication thing, and I'm really trying to change my ways so it took a little self talk, but I managed to pull it together and was making it happen.....
But then, about a mile 1/2 into the run, my little one comes racing into my room shouting, "Alicia's here, Mommy. Alicia's here, Mommy!"
Alicia is our babysitter. So that could mean only one thing - we had ask her to come over to babysit. Hmmm. I don't recall making that phone call or sending that text. And apparently neither did my husband because he answered the door and was dumbfounded. He had no idea why our babysitter was standing there! (and just for the record, he was the one who had made the arrangements!)
Having a babysitter come over in the middle of the week on a school night probably meant we were going on a date. And because we don't normally go out during the week, it probably meant we were going on a BIG date! I was trying to process all of that and fill in the blanks, and then it hit me....
SARAH MCLACHAN CONCERT!!
How in the world could we have possibly forgotten? I immediately slammed off the treadmill, yanked out my earbuds, said a few choice words, and started stripping off my clothes. We had less than thirty minutes to get there. Somehow, we miraculously made it. I was feeling kind of guilty that I had to stop in the middle of my run, but as soon as she came out on stage, the guilt went away!
And on a completely different note..... week two is done...... minus that mile 1/2, of course! : )
