kid...Well, *I* for one think you are a giant wimp!<br /><br />kidding :)<br /><br />It's simple really. When you only have one shot to get it done, you do what you have to do. When you CAN adjust to get more favorable conditions, you sometimes do.<br /><br />As Miles gets older, it gets a little easier. When my kids were small, I had no flexibility, so I went when I had to go. But now, I do what I WANT, haha.<br /><br />You rock :)bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527731795745786604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-84369400481798852902013-07-03T07:31:18.166-04:002013-07-03T07:31:18.166-04:00It is hard trying to find time to run when you hav...It is hard trying to find time to run when you have kids. It is constantly juggling. Run with them ... or have them stay with someone else and run alone. I run with my 2 boys in the double jogger often but they get sick of it on long runs. <br /><br />I just created a Weekly Run Report linky that is posted every Sunday. I would love for you to link up your training summaries. <br /><br />http://www.babygiveawaysgalore.com/search/label/Weekly%20Run%20Report<br /><br /><br />Kristen@CountryFitFamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269738872591585556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-52024578080869754832013-07-02T15:05:14.122-04:002013-07-02T15:05:14.122-04:00I don't think you're a wuss at all. If you...I don't think you're a wuss at all. If your body needs a break, it knows and will send those signals to your brain. I'm glad you got your run in. I don't think for a second you not wanting to run in a downpour means your a wuss, ever. It's not ideal and not a single runner wakes up, sees a downpour and says, "OH hellz yeah let's do it now!!!" You're still Bad Ass Kim. <br />As far as mommy guilt goes, this is my opinion - my kids need me healthy for a long long long time. Giving up a couple hours here and there is my positive impact on their lives, me leading by example.. so I try hard to remember that when I'm hit with guilt. And my kids are at the age they can say, "Why? Why do you have to spend all morning Saturday logging those miles? Why are you so tired?" and my answer is, "I want to be healthy so you have a mama for lots of years and your kids have a grandma for lots of years. And that running makes me less grumpy and able to put up with you guys easier. " LOL :) <br /><br />Hang in there, my bad ass running friend. You are awesome!kimerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908561354210742485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-57304960895536635032013-07-02T14:06:43.347-04:002013-07-02T14:06:43.347-04:00Be kind to yourself. There is a time for badassery...Be kind to yourself. There is a time for badassery, and there is a time for recovering and gathering yourself for a new round of badassery. Don't beat yourself up because you didn't go out in the pouring rain to run!<br /><br />When I trained for my first marathon, I was so paranoid that I did Every. Single. Run. on the schedule, come hell or high water. Miss a weekday 3.2 mile run? ZOMG I'M GONNA DIE AT MILE 22. Then I finished the marathon, didn't die, and got a little perspective that, yeah, that 3.2 mile run was good, but it wasn't make-or-break. <br /><br />Look at this in a positive light: Maybe you have enough miles and enough races under your belt now to know when you can slack off? Or the confidence to know that you WILL get that run in, just not during a downpour?Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582049406998358870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137646469767562765.post-88681049846477257952013-07-02T13:00:35.575-04:002013-07-02T13:00:35.575-04:00I think it is exactly what you listed - burn out, ...I think it is exactly what you listed - burn out, you know running later will work, and guilt over not going early. Those three things are what gets me too. Especially the guilt and other people's schedules. I SHOULD get up and run in the am when my husband is sleeping so we can spend time together at night, but hello... I need the sleep! Ha ha. Happy you got that 8 in! :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.com
