3:29am That when I started my run today- Why so early? Had to- my goal was 12, and at a 13-15 minute pace, my run time would be 3 hours. By 6:30 this Cinderella turns into a pumpkin- I mean-mommy and has to get hubby and kiddos out the door. Like last night, I was indifferent, the run was like work you had to do- it felt weird.

You paralyze yourself thinking about wh...

Monday- Oh Monday- I so want to embrace you as if you were something special After-all, you are my day off And always give this False sense of holiday But more often than not You punish me Drop kids off at school BlueSkyGirl RunningMommaOf2 Are set to do another swim session To get runningMammaOF 2 In ship shape for her triathlon She worries about the swim I offer to sign up for the tri To make her look good Picture me flailing helplessly We laugh They see me geared up Ask what's on the agenda "Easy 4 and hill sprints!" I say They are secretly jealous I just know it We part ways I make a final decision Route will start from home Start is slow I chide myself "Are we walking or running today?" I ask myself Knowing full well It is rhetorical But my legs think otherwise They think for a moment Ummmmm "walking?" they say I am not amused I ask them again "Are we walking or running today?" This time...
