Overcoming Excuses

I'll admit it publicly: aside from teaching Core Fusion classes and going on my regularly scheduled Tuesday AM runs, I haven't exercised in weeks.  There are lots of reasons -- AFROTC classes have started and we're severely short manned, we're hosting a church-wide garage sale in our garage this weekend and I've been putting in an enormous amount of time and energy to get ready for it, Justin's grandma passed away and we travelled to her funeral, Ronen is at my favorite kid age I'm loathe to give up any of the few waking hours I get with him (does taking Ronen to Gymboree count as exercise???)...standard excuses.  I know better than to over-extend myself to the point where I'm not taking care of myself.  As I was running on Tuesday AM, I was thinking about ways to get Ronen time while I'm running -- I have a jogging stroller, so it's kind of a no-brainer.  Here's the problem: I don't like running in neighborhoods; I like paths.  So to include Ronen would mean either: (1) hauling him and the stroller to the beach path or (2) running closer to home.  One involves a lot of time, the other involves a lot of street crossings and traffic!  The rest of this week is a little insane with the garage sale, but my goal for next week is to take Ronen on a run -- some day other than Tuesday AM!
