Monday Confession: I didn’t run

This weekend played out just as crazy as I expected.

And I didn’t make running a priority.  I could say there were lots of reasons.  I could say we were crazy busy.  I could say my kids came first this weekend.

But really, I was just making excuses

I could have run right after Shoo’s field trip.  It’s not like I’ve never picked him up from school sweaty before.

I could have run after I picked him up from school.  Beer Geek was home, as was Jones, not to mention I have a treadmill.

I could have run after Shoo’s soccer game (we won’t even pretend I’d consider running before a morning game).

I could have run before the kids arrived for Jones’ party.

Heck, I could have run during the party – Beer Geek was here and the tweens certainly did not need me.

I could have run before Shoo’s party or anytime after his party.

But I didn’t.  I did not make running a priority.  Instead, I made excuses.

I’m not going to beat myself up about it.  It’s one weekend out of many.  But the excuses need to stop here.  It’s a slippery slope between not working out very often, to waking up one day and realizing I haven’t exercised in months and have gained 15 pounds.

This week, I return to making my *health* a priority.

Join me?

What will you do to make sure you take care of yourself this week?

I’m starting with wearing running clothes to the dentist so I can run afterwards.
