The summer has been pretty great. Yes, it's been hot, and yes, we've had some busy times, but all in all, it's been a wonderful few months with my family and with running.
I've been managing 60 miles a week at least for the past few weeks. It hasn't even been difficult. I go to the gym at lunch, and then I run in the evenings once the kids and I get home.
But now school starts and with it, all kinds of activities and responsibilities and extracurriculars. I'm getting a trial week, though: My daughter's dance classes actually started this week.
Yesterday, I went to the gym three times to get in my mileage. Yes, three times. (I'm getting my money's worth out of that gym membership.)
First, I went at lunch for my regular 5 miles (which turned into 5.5 by accident).
Then, while Katie was at dance from 5:45-6:30, I ran 4 more miles.
(Mad dash back to dance to pick up Katie and hang out for an hour.)
Then, BACK to the gym for a final 2 miles while Katie had her second dance class. I could have done a couple of more, but I had an errand to run.
Boom. Eleven miles, total.
It really bothers me when people say they don't have time to exercise. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. It's just how you choose to spend that time...
