Had an out of town trip this weekend, which always makes long workouts difficult to schedule. I do my best to get everything in, but sometimes even a key workout has to be culled due to family stuff.
We went to Nashville this weekend for Annie Wood's baptism (Wes and Susannah's little girl). Everything went well, but we fit a lot of stuff into a short time period. I got back home late Sunday afternoon with every intention of hitting the road for my 10 mile run, but after the drive (mostly in bad weather) I was tired and hungry. Since a bad long run could absolutely wreck my already shaky confidence at this point in time, I postponed it until tonight (Monday).
-- As a side note, I did learn a lesson this weekend. If you ever find yourself hanging out in the lobby of a Mexican restaurant while in town for an important church and family related gathering, it is best not to put a huge black and silver dragon tattoo on your little boy's forearm with the caption "Welcome to the Jungle." Even though the tattoo is totally awesome and the little boy will love it and show it to everyone, not everyone will be so appreciative and you will get several interesting looks and comments from others throughout the weekend. It is amazing that there are so many things I don't know about parenting (and responsibility in general). I learn something every day.
*** This weekend's workout (unfortunately, that is singular, not plural) -- I was able to get up early Saturday morning and ride on the bike trainer for three hours before leaving town. Sunday I did nothing as explained above. This morning (Monday) I swam for about 1:20.
