I say, and you think…
It has been a very long time since that thought has entered my mind. But it did on Friday.
Weekend wrap up, so far: the movers have come and gone; the rest we put on a truck and brought home, by way of Austin where we dropped off a bunch at a sister’s house. Somewhere in there we went to our twin niece and nephew’s baptism (Godparents, we are. Scary, huh?)
This morning we are all recovering. I’m sorry I missed calling you, Lass, it was more than a little nuts while we were there. I hope to catch you next time.
Now, on to laundry, but first I have to drag the baby out of the tub…
Got this from Hal Higdon’s web site (I’m following his Spring Training plan).
A lot of people play at running, going out for an occasional run on weekends if the weather is good. Sometimes they’ll run three or four days in a row–then skip several weeks before running again. But that’s not training. Training is when you follow a schedule, such as this one, where each day has a purpose. If the weather is bad, you still run. If you have important business, you simply rise an hour early to run. Why? Because I told you to! And if Hal tells you to rest, you rest. That’s what I have scheduled for you today.
I ran three days in a row this week. Not far, certainly not fast, but I did it. I ran in 39 degree rain. I ran when I was tired. I can do this.
Today, for my “rest,” I’m driving a couple hundred miles, supervising movers, renting a truck and moving other stuff, hopefully meeting with a realtor and perhaps a handyman (or woman), and wrangling three bored children.
Ah, I can feel the stress just melting away…
