Today Cheryl and I are going for our second run. At least we are supposed to. I just woke up from a long long loooooonnnnngg night with the baby and to be honest I feel like a truck hit me. And it is HOT. When I say hot I mean sticky and the air feels like we will need to swim through it. It is 8:30am and Adam has just taken off on a bike ride with the girls in tow, I just finished my tea and Peyton is still asleep. Now since I can't go anywhere until I feed the little man and my husband returns I must look out the window knowing I've got to get out there. Can we go later today you say? No for several reasons. I need to run on an empty stomach, the kids have softball in the afternoon and it will just get HOTTER!
This is where having a running partner comes in handy. You see iftwould be so easy for Cheryl and I to whine and complain and say that we don't wanna get out the door and sweat. Don't get me wrong, I am doing plenty of that right now......but.....
When you have six kids and a life between the two of you and it takes a little bit to coordinate a good time to get out together alone without babies......not going would be a shame. So we are going and not giving each other a choice. If we cave now we will cave later.
I've got another 14 minutes before Adam returns from his bike ride.
Thank God for running partners and accountability.

Feels good! Nice to get it over with, so we are not thinking about it throughout the day.
