Not What I Had Planned

Did you go outside this moring?  I did.  It was wonderful.

It was the calm before the storm, in more way than one.

But I didn't know that at first.

I stuck my head out the front door while S'ghetti girl was getting ready for the bus.

Heaven.

Cool okay it was cold but cool sounds better Crisp Calm Morning.

I got everything ready to get LBM up and stroller ready right after the bus.

We were headed out to squeeze in 4 miles this morning leaving on 7 for my wanted 11 miles today.

Hello? It's 1.11.11 We all have to do something special, right?

Anyway since I couldn't get all my miles in one run I needed to split them up.

My body also needs a break from the double digit runs lately.

Everything seemed to be falling into place.

The bus was on it's way, S'ghetti girl and I gathered her gear and headed down the driveway.

That is when I saw it.

not my actual yard

That's not what I had planned.

But.

Instead of getting upset and ruining my day, I got S'ghetti girl on the bus and then simply cleaned up the mess.

Reminding myself that I should always set trash out in the cans to avoid this.

Lesson learned.

And then since LBM was still sleeping I hopped on the treadmill for 2.5 miles.

Any run is a good run.
