My mom has an exercise bike and this morning I used it for 10 minutes. Seth left today for Colorado Springs. He is picking up some furniture from his sister. He will be back tomorrow. So I couldn't exercise with him today. My mom and I went to town (which is an hour away) to go to WalMart and to visit my sister. On the way home I was really tired and wanted to fall asleep in the car, but my mom and I were talking so I didn't. I didn't get a nap again today and I was pretty tired and didn't really want to exercise, especially since I would have to exercise by myself. But then I thought of all the fire and brimstone chastisement you all would give me if I missed another day. So we got home around 7:00. I fed the baby and ate dinner and was hoping to start running right after dinner. The baby was crying because he was tired and giving him to my mom only made him cry harder. So I took him to put him to sleep. It took a LONG time to get him to sleep so that by the time he was asleep and I was ready to start my run it was getting pretty dark. I took my parents dog out with me to run but as it got darker I felt pretty uncomfortable (don't want to get eaten by a bear just yet). So I ended up power walking for 5 minutes, running for 5 minutes, and then did 15 more minutes on my mom's bike. I didn't get quite the workout I wanted but at least I got some running in and at least I didn't have to end my workout with just a short run. I'm glad I was able to use her bike. My total bike miles for today were 6.1 miles. When Seth gets back he is going to measure the distance that I ran (even though it wasn't much).
