Some people dread Mondays and I will admit they are tough sometimes… after two days of free time going back to a more regimented schedule can be a bit challenging… I use the words free time loosely because I spent most of Saturday morning cleaning the house while Matt took care of the weeds outside that have been flourishing with all of the rain and sun we have had lately… then Sunday meant a trip to the grocery store for me while Matt was mowing… outside of the typical chores weekends still provide a lot of free time… last night we rented a movie - “Appaloosa” - Matt says he thinks westerns are calming and I really enjoy Ed Harris so it was a win win combination but meant staying up a little too late on a “school night”
I had intended to go for a long run yesterday while Matt was mowing but just couldn’t get the gumption for it and it is ridiculous to attempt a 10-11 mile run if you aren’t completely “psyched” about it… so instead I used part of Sunday to visualize the route I would take for Monday’s long run… going for a long takes preparation… I have to be willing to devote nearly 2 hours to the workout… and I have to take my “patience pills” because it is not about how fast but how far….
I was definitely planning on 10 for today but actually ended up running 11 and felt great at the end… then took a jump in the lake… lunch then quickly got ready for work… SunTrust Marathon here I come…
Looking forward to a productive afternoon and evening then tomorrow we “re-convene” with the financial planner to divest our earnings and make sure we are ensuring the best possible financial future - (I think I would rather tackle another 11 miles :)
