Hubby and Veg went out this morning allowing me 3 hours of just being with me... What would you do with 3 hours of non-planned Alone time?
The possibilities were endless... Clean house, Sleep, Exercise, Sleep, Eat, Sleep, Clean house????
Well I couldn't decide! So I did a little bit of all.... Slept in while they got ready and left, then began the house chores... I actually got tons done... Before they came home I escaped for my run.
Got in a little over 4 miles... Almost quit at two miles though, I felt like Veg whining to myself while the other side of me was saying "KEEP GOING YOU WIMP" just then a 60+ Man came happily running by me in his little spandex pants....
Instead of cursing the smiling nice man, I decided to channel his energy.... If he could do this, so can I... And so I ran.... And I Passed him.... OK Not really... he turned around to go back and passed me....How sad is that??
Just when I thought my humiliation was over and I was ready to just call a helicopter to drop a basket and carry me home... Here comes Mr. Fancy Spandex Pants again.... Smirking this time he says "Your doing good" as if he new I needed encouragement and really that I was doing horrible... While his 60+ year old Spandex Butt, was lapping me on the straight aways.
Did I mention, that I'm not made for running??
Alas... my 3 hours alone was quite eventful and I got lots done.... I heard the boys say they were doing the same next Sunday! Woooohoooo!! Not that I don't LOVE being with my two favorite people, but sometimes I won't complain to get some "uninterrupted get stuff done" time either!!
Well I am glad Mr. Spandex had a smile for you..On the other hand your Mom, yep me would say breathe, breathe, are you ok?, go home...
love you becareful
