A few years back, the pastor of our church resolved to run..."no matter what." Running became his priority regardless of weather, time, commitments, emotions & other solid excuses. His mantra has been a good motivator; but, occasionally we do allow "uncontrollable forces" to reduce our mileage.
5 am this morning, we were loaded up on the street ready to bike. Frustrated with the thunder, lightening & light rain we determined it wasn't safe. We climbed back into our beds and waited until our brunch date with our mom, brother & sisters. Then, the girls went to a store to create individualized purses.
By afternoon, the weather cleared up & we were on our way! We ran on the lakefront for 2 hours, rode our mountain bikes, and swam 1 mile in Lake Michigan (sporting our wetsuits).
Now, we're home. It's time to kick back with a beer, junk food and a movie. Maybe that is negating our hard work, but so be it! What a great day.
Our Learnings:
Don't grocery shop after nearly 5 hours of working out. We bought 4 cartons of light ice cream, diet pop & 2 bags of baked chips (we're carbo loading for tomorrow's 4 1/2 hour ride & 1 hour run).
We did it...NO MATTER WHAT!
