Today is Friday! Woohoo! Right???
Today had the potential to be a really great day... its not over yet folks but... I got to go out last night and catch up with some old friends- drink a beer, eat too much food- but it was waaaaay past my bedtime! :) SO when baby girl decided to grace me with a wake up at 6:30 am, I brought her into bed with me snuggled her and hoped she would fall back asleep. And we did! until 8 am! WHAT?!?!
Then things started to evaporate... started the coffee, got going and every time I went back to it, it was cold... ugh... Then I started to make excuses to not go to the gym and run my much needed 6 miler. I like to go either right at 9 when the childcare opens or at 11 after baby girl has napped. We finally got out of the house around 9:45 am. I went to pick up pet goodies at the vet and headed to the gym. Baby girl fell asleep as I pulled into the parking lot. Last time I tried to leave her like this, she cried the whole time...
Instead I pulled out my Kindle and started to read. I figured I would let her nap until 11- a half hour. I started to fall asleep myself. This wasn't good... She wakes up and into the gym we head. Baby girl did great, mama not so much. Treadmill running just plain sucks. I started at a 10 min mile and started to up it every half mile. I just never got in the groove. I finished at a 9 min pace overall. I know I will run faster outside, but I just cannot figure out how to do it inside!
We came home, ate some lunch and I attempted to put baby girl down for a nap. She played in the swing while I started Jillian's Shred It, but then started to scream 10 minutes into my workout. I never found my groove after that. We just got done playing in her room for an hour, it is now a mess, she is finally asleep and I want to take a nap! I have laundry to do, a dishwasher to unload and reload, a much needed shower to take and I am sure she will wake up right as I hit the pillow to sleep...
Oh well. The life of a mama... I will just keep forging on. Maybe I will see if I can actually get some coffee in my system this afternoon.
I agree - outside running is so much easier to quick-step your pace! You remind me of my life not so long ago... hang in there, schedules get more flexible as they get older. My baby is almost 3 now, but I remember those attempted gym trips like yesterday!! LOL
