Steps to Running

Yesterday I wanted to run. Well, actually, I wanted to run every day that week, but it had been three days since my last run. This time, I was determined. While at work, I told myself I would run as soon as I can. These are the things I did before getting out the door.

1. Come home
2. Nurse Frances
3. After feeding Frances, Henry starts a peek-a-boo game and it is just too cute to stop.
4. Give Frances to Aaron and pump breastmilk
5. Clean the pump supplies
6. Use my inhailer
7. Get my running clothes on and hear Frances start to whimper
8. Hold Frances while I get my running gear together and then realize she is tired
9. Feed Frances to sleep
10. Put her down in a crib (gently)
11. Get my running shoes on
12. Open the front door and realize I never put my bike in the garage
13. Go back inside, open the garage door and put my bike in
14. Say goodbye to Henry and Aaron
15. Henry tries to follow me out the door and I have to block him out and get Aaron
16. Leave the house and start running.

No wonder why it is hard to find time. The whole ordeal lasted 45 minutes (and my run only 30 minutes). I came home to luke warm dinner (props to Aaron for thinking ahead and preparing dinner!), but it was still tasty. Running is said to be the easiest sport because you can just get out and go. Well, not in my house.
