Excuses

If there were a pageant for Queen of Excuses, I'm pretty sure I would be in the top three for the crown. Even a fellow Sole Sister agreed that I can find a justification an excuse for almost any situation! My biggest excuse had been that I couldn't continue running because of my husband's schedule (which there actually is quite a bit of truth to that) and I can't leave our kids alone to go. So, I told myself I would start up again once our son mostly mastered his bike skills so he could ride along with me on a trail while I push his sister. Well, that happened this week so tomorrow's the day! Now I just need to find a wide, mostly flat trail so I can't use the "there are too many hills for him to keep up" or "we can't go down hills because he freaks out and can't stop" (which is true at this point) excuses. I think the worst part of all of this is the starting over. I was up to week 5 in the C25K and had been cross-training consistently through May. Tomorrow, well, I'm starting over from the beginning and I vividly remember how that felt in March and I am not looking forward to it. Not at all! However, I am counting on my new running buddies to keep me just as entertained as they did when I used my workout DVDs in the basement! Although, I'm not sure they'll dress up as Super Heroes. Maybe they should, then the people who see us will focus on them and not me hyperventilating! :)
