Whew!  Life gets in the way.

Track workout tonight.  My husband asked me to skip it so he could get a hair cut.  We're leaving tomorrow (11hrs in car w/ 3 kids) for my brother's wedding....which he (my husband) is standing in. 

 

I only have 4 days this week in which I can run (because of travel).  Skipping one day doesn't really feel like an option.  Yet my poor husband has put up with so much (putting kids to bed 3 nights/wks, dinners alone, scheduling his weekends around my runs, etc).  So, I relent.  Yes, I'll skip my track workout. 

 

Feeling bad....I start thinking.  What if I could get him a hair appointment for much later in the day......AFTER my track workout.  Hmmm.... I called his usual place and got him a 8:15pm cut.  I had no idea they were open that late.  Glad I checked.

 

I call my husband at work.  "Honey, I got you a 8:15 appointment.  Can I go to the track workout now?"  His reply, "Of course.  I had no idea they made appointments. I thought they were just a walk in place."

 

My oh my.  Life does get in the way sometimes.
