Know the feeling?
I was out the door at 7:45 PM last night. As I walked out, I said the above statement and mentally filed it under “things moms say.†But rest assured that I said it many times in my pre-mommy days! Sometimes a woman really needs a run.
It was dark out by the time I left. I need to buy a headlamp and a reflective vest today (any headlamp recommendations?). I have a feeling more and more of my runs will take place after Henry goes to bed.
2.5 miles later, I came home feeling much, much better about life in general. And then the Husband’s grandparents arrived for a week-long visit, which was so exciting. Pretty neat that Henry gets to meet so many of his great-grandparents. Grandpa brought over the Boyle family tree, which the family can trace all the way back to 1775 (all in London!).
Breakfast before everyone else got up:
Pumpkin waffles – just pureed pumpkin in waffle mix. Here comes autumn!
So – let’s discuss: “Trust me, you want me to go on this run.†Is a run your ideal stress reliever? Has your spouse ever told you to go on a run mid-‘discussion?’ (Mine has! LOL) Or do you unwind another way? Like couch time?
A run always does the trick for me! I go out with an attitude and by the time I get back home I am a changed woman! lol In the beginning hubs would always give me a hard time about running so much and not sleeping in. Now he finally understands that my mood is 10 times better after a run and encourages me to get one in, too funny! 🙂
Have fun with your family!
