This morning I awoke to the Star Wars theme song blasting from my cell phone. The disturbing thing was that my cell phone was plugged in down stairs and I had to jump out of bed, run down the flight of stairs and turn the blasted thing off. It was 5:30 a.m. On the way down I realized how stinking sore I was from the workout yesterday. I grumbled and moaned the whole way down the stairs "ow, ow, ow, ow." Now, since it wasn't raining yet, I should have grabbed a banana, got dressed and started my 9 mile run. But, I didn't. I hobbled back up the stairs and fell back asleep. Awake a few hours later, I started my healthy eating plan again. I decided to flip flop my long run scheduled for today with my workout scheduled for tomorrow to give my legs a chance to rest.
We are also switching out cable boxes today and Mark is working on the deck. What that means is that he is pretty grumpy, and I'm babysitting the cable guy. This also means that I'm way off track on my plan and we are snapping at each other. Both kids have a birthday party to go to later today, which means I won't get to work out until after dinner. As a result, I'm also regretting not running this morning.
The birthday party was great and the kids had fun celebrating their cousin's birthday. Once we got home, they went into the pool, I went downstairs to do KenpoX. This is a hour-long fun kickboxing video. I can't help but feel powerful during and after the video. After my recovery drink, I finished the night with a 2 mile walk. Mark and I were still grumbling at each other. Because I know God tells us not to go to bed on our anger, it was easier to talk it out before bedtime. Have you ever committed to staying up until the fight is resolved? Think about it, at 8:00, its game-on and I'm are locked into my position. By 10:00 p.m., I'm at least listening to the other side, and by midnight, I'm sorry, I'm tired and I want to sleep. It didn't take us nearly that long to work through things. Thank God.
