Training Run Trickiness...

As a single mama, it is hard to schedule in those training runs.  Gotta get someone to watch the munchkin, gotta schedule it with my running partners, etc.  It usually ends up early since I do have the dreaded "mom guilt."  You know that feeling that your kid is with other people more than he is with you.  I can't bring myself to take him to the gym daycare after a day of school (daycare).  The guilt of it all.  So...I ask my ex-husband or one of my besties or even a babysitter to watch him for a hour or two so I can get those runs in.  Today, we started at 6:30 AM.  T and I ran 4.2 miles.  Then, I ran home. Relieved my ex...also questioning why the munchkin was still asleep and not up yet.  Nevertheless, I jumped in the shower. Got ready for work.  Got the munchkin up and ready for school.  Took the dogs out and gave them some water.  Then we packed up our stuff and hopped in the "plastic PT" and were on our way.  First to school, to drop off the munchkin.  (side note:  I need to think of a "carnival treat" to bring in for his room party next Thursday.  Any ideas?  What is a carnival treat anyway?)  Then finally, to work for the start of my day.  That folks is a lot of running and running around to accomplish by 8:45 AM.  Training run trickiness will NOT dissuade me, no sir!  <3  Until next time...keep running or walking or heck, just moving...
