Plan B

It's time to talk about Plan B.  I left hints on THIS post. 

Did you click and check them out? 

After the incredibly long wait to see if I got into my A Race I had to post the disappointing news HERE.

But after some encouraging words from friends I have concreted Plan B.

These two races will be the next steps in getting to my 100 mile goal. 

Since I had every confidence that I was going to get into Massanutten Mountain Trails I had already planned my fall racing schedule which I'll keep those details until closer time....

...just to make sure I can still walk, let alone run after both of these.

Do you know what today is? 

Do something amazing today and think of me.

Playing Hookey

You will never believe what I am doing.  Go ahead, guess!

You won't guess it so I'll just go ahead and tell you.

I am sitting at my kitchen table eating a meal and sharing it with no one.

That's right.  And my house is quiet.  And I have already ran 13 miles today.

And done 3 loads of laundry.  Okay that part is not fun just necessary BUT I folded each item

ONLY ONE TIME!

Yes be jealous.

I have an entire house with a child in it for 6 hours today.

Un Heard Of!!!

It's almost like a vacation.  Well, a vacation where I still have to cook my own food and do my own laundry and clean and...Okay it's not like a vacation at all

BUT

having the chance to have a moment to just myself is, for me, priceless.

Maybe taking a day off to go to the doctor is just a cover for the need to have a moment alone.  Maybe it's a bit selfish but I know my kids will come home to a much happier mom tonight.

And with my extra time wait till you see what I've cooked up for Plan B.
