Busy!

We had a ridiculously busy day today!  We painted, played in mud, had therapy, played at the park, napped, did laundry (well, I did,) vacuumed (he helped,) and made dinner.  Oh, and washed dishes.  Oh, and...

Ok, so that's all we did today.  But it still seemed busy.  And fantastic.  We had a great time today.  I'm hoping to make my life busier than it already is.  I signed up for a 5k run.  I haven't run in, well, a really long time.  But I enjoyed it when I did.  And I'm badly out of shape.  So committing to something is just the ticket for me.  Plus it's not an unreasonable distance.

Now I just have to figure out time to start running.  I shudder at the thought of setting the alarm to do it before my guys wake up.  But I also am not a huge fan of actually trying to get a good run in while using the stroller and worrying about the little guy.  Nor do I really want to wait until I'm tired from the day and do it after the kid's in bed.  And I can't exactly leave the knucklehead unattended.

So...I guess the alarm's going to start seeing some use.  But tomorrow's Friday and that just seems ridiculous to start training on a Friday.  Yeah, I'm gonna give myself three extra days of sleep and start on Monday.  Plus it'll give me time to buy running shorts.  And by "running shorts," I don't mean those skimpy ones that you wear when you have killer gams from running for the past twenty years.  I mean long shorts that cover my less than fabulous thighs but that are more comfortable than running in jeans.

Look for an exciting (or exhausted) update on Monday as to how the run went.  And say a little prayer for me!
