long night with baby. wake up early. pump milk. clean kitchen. get ready to go to the temple. temple sealing of friend's family. come home. get family ready to leave. Staheli farm. corn maze. nephew's birthday party. extremely exhausted. 8:30pm. driving home.
This brings me to thinking about 9AM church in the morning (which comes really early) and the facts that:
A - We need to bathe Joseph
B - Joseph only got about 8 hours of sleep the previous night (usually it's at least 10) and didn't get a nap today
C - Bedtime routine of jammies, brushing teeth, reading scriptures and prayer and laying him down to sleep usually takes at least 30 minutes
D - I need to do my own personal scripture study
E - John and I haven't prepared our Primary lesson yet
F - Kaili is super tired and ready for bed
G - I am really exhausted after spending 3-4 hours walking around the farm and the corn maze
... and I begin feeling really overwhelmed at the thought of taking a 30 minute chunk of time out to do my first day of running training: 10 min walk, 3 min jog, 7 min walk, 3 min jog, 7 min walk.
John was very encouraging of me sticking to my training. He was totally willing to go with me. He said things like, "You can't quit now! You've got to stick to it, even when it's hard!"
He had me this close to doing it. But I chose not to. I'm justifying that all the walking around in the corn maze I did counts for my training today. But I didn't run, and I feel disappointed.
(And since I'm posting this on Sunday, I can honestly say I feel good about the choice I made last night. Even though it's disappointing, it would have made my night way too long.)
Monday will hold no excuses!
