Day 8/140: 3 Mile Walk

Well.  Today was a good lesson on getting my workout in when I have an opportunity, because let me tell ya how it went down.  I am NOT a morning person and I WISH I was!  I SHOULD have gotten up early this morning and gotten it out of the way, haha!  So I leave to take Aohdan to school thinking, "I'll just get my walk in this afternoon sometime."  When I arrived home, my youngest was very clingy from fighting a virus and just wanted to be held.  I really do try to cherish these times, even though the whining is hard...the cuddles are so sweet.  So I spent most of the morning holding Anson--poor baby:-(

Then before I knew it it was time to go pick up Aohdan from school, and drop off homemade jam to a friend, then take Solomon for some leash time.  "THAT'S where I could fit it in!"  I thought.  "I'll just get my 3 miles in walking around Sunbury and do obedience training at the same time."  ......Yeah....you see I didn't think this through too well because after probably 1 1/2 miles Solomon was done walking.  He had been patient with me, but the look on his face told me he needed a drink.  "Oh well," I thought, "I'll just finish out on the treadmill when I get home."  Right!  When I arrived home my youngest had once again spiked a fever (102), and just wanted mommy.

So a big lesson learned.  Never again will I put off doing my walk just because I don't feel like it.  Because if I wait too long my day ends up filling up and my training gets put at the end of the line...when it needs to be #1 priority!  Healthy mommy = healthy happy family:-)

So here's to a fabulous 3 mile walk tomorrow.  I may even push it to 4 miles to make up for today!
