Though yesterday (day 6) I did need to get some stuff for my classroom/office that I didn't have any budget money for, so I ended up going to RiteAid, which is on the way to school, instead of going the opposite direction to WM.
Today is day 7, and after school we will be going out to dinner (a first-friday-after-getting-back-to-school tradition since we've been out of college and working) and picking up Lisa and Adam's race materials for the Fleet Feet SummerFest races. Adam gets to pick this year, and he picked Longhorn Steakhouse. Kid's got taste!
The last few mornings we have been trying to use up some store-bought eggs so we can get to the farm raised, but we have been using the fresh tomatoes and peppers (from Adam's "other" mom) for breakfast and dinner.
As for running - I'm taking the week off, and I might try to get a long run in this weekend, but if I don't, I am going to try not to stress about it. Overtraining is a real thing, and I did it. So - time to back off, enjoy my family, and get back into it next week. If a marathon doesn't happen this year, I'll have to be okay with that. Thankfully I haven't registered yet - we'll have to see what the next few weeks bring.
Adam LOVES kindergarten, and his teacher Mrs. Wadhams. He is so excited about everything. I hope he keeps that enthusiasm.
Lastly, my God stuff for the day. God is our coach. He is my trainer. I saw a FB meme about "when all else fails, do what your trainer told you to do in the first place." I think God was telling me to slow down. I ran. Then he sent friends to tell me to slow down. I ran. Then he brought it on my heart and body in a big way, to slow down. This time I listened. God takes care of us, if we let him. It's not always some big revelation, or epiphany, or "Come to Jesus" moment. Sometimes he just wants to take our hand, pull us back, and tell us to rest. Just. Rest.
Thank you, God. I'm all ears...
