Day Nine - a Two-Fer

Yesterday I committed to a group run with DD in the stroller.  I don't usually do this anymore (she's heavy!), but it was my every-other Sunday group of friends and we'd all have our kids this time - so I wanted the opportunity to meet the little ones we're always talking about.  We had a great run.  2 miles to a park (a few Moms went further and turned around to meet us), a bit of playing for the kiddos, then 2 miles back.  It was a difficult work out for me with the stroller, but also a lot of fun.  (I also really like to get out there with my daughter to further model how much fun exercise can be.)

I was feeling pretty good about my day and was just hanging out in the backyard with DD, we were in lawn chairs with our feet in a kiddie pool chillin', when I realized it was the week for my regular Tuesday night run.  Oops.  Double booked.  My every-other Tuesday run is short (just shy of 3 miles), but hilly (up Terwilliger if you know the Portland area), and is followed by beers at a local pub.  Hmmm.  Running doesn't sound so great.  Beer sounds wonderful.  Decisions, Decisions!

Since it is 5:45, and I am still in my running clothes since I haven't had a minute since returning from my morning run, and DD's Dad will have to do bedtime if I run - I'm going for it!  My body may hate me later, but my mind could use a break from the bedtime tedium and a chance to catch up with another group of friends.
I'll let you know how I feel tomorrow!

**Update**

I went to my run at 7:30 pm....and was the only one there.  Oh well.  I thought about a track workout (we meet at Wilson High) but just couldn't get motivated for that without my iPod.  I headed home to take a shower, and since my daughter was fast asleep (thank goodness!) I used the evening to cut out a fun little skirt for her.  Not a total loss.
