I am here, I swear

Sorry about my lack of posting but honestly, I haven't done a blessed thing. Unfortunately, life gets in the way. But I guess that has been the point all along. When life gets in the way and push comes to shove, what is the first thing to go? The one thing that gives me peace of mind, a clear head and a strong heart and body. Ironic isn't it? But I think it is also a case of "mommy-hood." We, as moms, as notorious for putting all of life first before ourselves and when time is cutting short and we have to eliminate something to fit it all in, the things that are the best for us are the things that get left behind. I have only really missed one day of running. Monday was supposed to be a yoga and/or pilates day and, realistically, I NEVER follow through with this one. I should add in a running day JUST to do something productive. Today was supposed to be a strength training day....didn't happen....was dealing with WAY to much to sit on a ball and to push up's and crunches! Tomorrow is supposed to be a long 8 mile run. Again, life gets in the way but I can't put Connor in daycare for the time it would take me to run the 8 miles because I have to have him in daycare in the afternoon so I can have some more tests run. I am not giving up my run tomorrow though. I am definitely going for 4 miles and then we will see where that takes me. Maybe more, depending on time and how I feel. Thursday I am back to strength training, a run on Friday and if I feel like it, a 5K on Saturday morning. That will be a last minute decision though and we will see how it goes. So, I have no fallen off the face of the planet....but again....I have fallen off the wagon and am feeling mighty guilty about my lack of motivation and desire to keep going.
