Well, February has struck again and 2 out of 3 kids have been struggling to get rid of a nasty upper respiratory bug for 2+ weeks. I am so very thankful March is here- while it's just something the calendar shows, mentally it's a big boost as I know spring is "officially" within reach. Someday I'll have the means to relocate to a warmer climate during the entire month of February. I hear Costa Rica is awesome. Anyway, I really can't complain about this winter in terms of temperature - I can't ever remember February temps only in the 40's - 50's; and sunshine to boot. Starting training for the next race hasn't been too torturous - or boring stuck inside on a treadmill. My spring race of choice (Rutgers Unite 1/2 Marathon) won't be my competitive race (for me) though - Mike is ramping up his training for the inagural NYC Ironman in August, so I'll have to get some runs in where ever I can fit one or two in...just to get my butt up off the couch. I know that if I don't sign up for something or have a reason to fit exercise in, it's too easy to skip (like this week has been, unfortunately - but sleep takes precedence in my book).
Yes, I've learned that it's all too easy to "put off today what you can do tomorrow", or really, truly what it means to "give a task to a busy mom and it will get done". The more I have to fit in, the more gets done because I know I can't afford to procrastinate - whether it's exercise, meal planning, work, family stuff...and I know it's just going to be more jam-packed as the third kid enters the wide world of extracurricular activities (he's already got his eye on wrestling and rugby).
Thus, that is why I'm finishing up this blog entry at 5:58 am on Friday morning (although I must fess up that I should have had this done yesterday), already gearing up for another full day, and even more jam-packed weekend. But hey, it's March!
