So we have had company in town the past few days, my body requires sleep, I havent had much the past week due to the Olympics, now with company......ahhh

This morning as Im in bed, tired, debating if the kids really need to be woke up for school, if I really need to go to work, all while thinking "theres no way I can run today" I remember Lucia's words  "2 miles is much better than 1 mile and even better than zero" So I jumped (well lumbered) out of bed and rode my bike on a trail right by our home.  That way I got a few miles in and was home energized and ready to make breakfast and start car pools all before the stroke of 7am.

It is amazing what we will do and how early we will get up just to get our ME TIME! Who would ever have thought, with all us mothers have to do, that we would sacrifice our sleep to work out??

GOOD FOR YOU!!! On mornings like that, I typically LOSE the battle. Here is to another successful day of getting out of bed long before we want to.

You are amazing! I'm glad my words helped! One day at a time, a few miles every morning, and you're under way!

Thanks Kelli and Lucia! Have a great day and lets not be overthrown by the children and injuries that creep up in our lives :)

Great job getting out of bed!

Company always makes it difficult to stick to a routine. And kids, now that school started, you can march those "little soldiers" to bed. :-)
