Fitness focus factor

No exercise today, but lots of other house chores accomplished. It's okay because since Monday it's the first day without exercise in it. I am such a better person as a result!

Those 5 days included a total of 4 hours (3 one hour sessions and 2 half hour sessions). They included running and cross-training; 3 days running outside and 2 sessions at the gym.

I need to keep that schedule / trend going for so many reasons. Every part of my life is better when I take time to exercise. Too often I forget this, but thankfully I can remember and implement it again.

I am worth it. I will take the time for me. In doing so, I end up having more quality time for and with others.

mind murmur - daylight savings

The only time I remember being grounded as a child was on the night that daylight savings time ended.   I recall that I was in my late teens, and I had gone out with my older, later-to-be first husband.  We went to a party at a local private (polish or bocce) club.  I stayed out way too late. 

When I go home, one of my older brothers was awake.  Someone commented on the time, perhaps 2am.  I quickly referred to 1 hour earlier, as if that would make it okay.  He then said that I was too late.   My Mom agreed, and implemented some punishment.  I recall that she grounded me, but I don't recall any of the details.  It did not have any impact on me, except that I do remember it about 30 years later. 

Currently, I have such difficulty punishing my Son because I want it to have real impact, other than a vague memory in some distant time.  Although, might there be some value to that memory?

mind murmur

Things have been so hectic.  I think about blogging, but get caught up in life instead.  Though I am not here, I am not static.  I have gotten back into eBay and half.com, selling as hemwcollects.  My time there has been fun, but not enough.  What is enough?  At least it's something....

I have been increasingly curious about Twitter, so I have flown there, tweeting as @running2remake.  This is quite an interesting place and activity.  Tonight, my Son asked, "are you tweeting?"  How he even knew what that was is a mystery to me -- he's 7.  Anyway, I answered affirmatively, and he asked to whom I was tweeting, and I replied that I wasn't sure.  He then absconded with my iPhone and sent the following tweet,

This is Connor hi my mom is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!she really nice.They are the best mom and dad EVER! 

Well, I have no words for that....

I didn't fit in my run today.  I did, however, clean the garage gutters. 

How can I be expected to be "girly" sexy when at the same time I am expected to do that which otherwise will not get done?
