Yesterday I was unable to run during my lunch break. My first reaction was self pity but then I quickly had to realize my little girl and her health are far more important. My daughter has been sick on and off for a few weeks and her breathing was very labored and I knew she had to go back to the doctor. Thankfully I was able to get her an appointment that day but it meant leaving work for a few hours and missing my lunch hour. When I start a training plan I tend to get a little obsessive about sticking to as much as I can. I don't know when I became such a rule follower. I have a good friend that I get to work with each day and he came to my rescue yesterday and put me in my place and out of my pity party. Thank you. I need to remember that things are going to change and everything can not always go as planned. When I have acceptance my life is far more serene. So at the end of the day yesterday I did not get to run or even do an alternate workout like I had planned because my husband daughter and I spent our evening hours in the ER. Yes I am committed runner but my commit to my children and my family needs to be before running. My daughter was diagnosed with Asthma and is responded well to her inhaler. I ran today and will run tomorrow. During my lunch run today I was thinking of how grateful I am to have this life. Yes I may complain more then most but I am truly grateful day in and day out for everything I have and everything I do not have. I seen ran on the forecast for Saturday (long run day) and decided since I only ran twice during lunch this week that I would just move my run up one day. See I am learning to be more flexible already!
