So, what started as a small disaster, ended in a very nice morning. If you have the time, I will tell you the story, it goes like this:
I was supposed to meet Michelle, Ali (and Mac ended up coming along too) to go running at 5:00. My eyes popped open only to see the alarm clock beeming 5:20, CRAP, I SLEPT IN!! So, I said to Ty "honey, you didn't wake me up". Yes, the alarm clock is on his side of the bed, so this is his responsibility :). He is sure that he did try to wake me up, but I am sure that he just dreamed this and actually didn't try waking me up. In any event, I got out of bed and started getting ready before stopping and thinking "what am I doing, they are long gone, I have no idea where to find them", so Tyler says "why don't you just go drive around and try to find them". Well after calculating times, I figure that by the time I leave my house, they would have already had 4-5 miles under their belt. Not having an idea which direction to even begin, I decide that it just wasn't meant to be today and so what do I do? Climb back into bed. Well Tyler starts giving me a hard time saying things like "Or, you can just climb back in bed and not do anything, etc etc," ha ha, so you know that just wasn't going to happen. So, I went and got my phone and decided that I would text my dear friend Heidi to see what time she was going out. I knew she was planning on going but just didn't know what time. And, I figured that her phone was away from her so that she would just text me back when she woke up and saw my message. So, I send her a text asking her if I can jump in and run with her today and just to let me know what time she was going. Figuring it would be a while before she got up, I again, crawled back into bed only to be startled 30 seconds later when I get a text back from heidi saying they are going running at 6:30. Well, that was a little too late for me, so I decide again that running is just not going to happen today so I should just go back to bed. Side Note: Tyler is awake this entire time. So, not 15 minutes later, just as I was dozing back into a slumber, I am awaken by my phone vabrating under my pillow with this message from Heidi, and I quote "Okay, now I can't go back to sleep so wake up, get dressed and meet me outside in 10-15 minutes" at which I responded "Yes, Mam". So, I get back out of bed and go to get dressed and walk out to see Tyler is now out of bed too. So I walk in the kitchen and poor sleep deprived Tyler is sitting at the table working on his computer, knowing that sleep was no longer an option for him today either. Moral of my story is that I woke Heidi up and Tyler up, all because I couldn't get up. Sorry guys. However, we ended up going out and getting a little over 5 miles in (meeting up with Heidi C at the intended 6:30 time to join us) and as always, the visiting was fun and I was SO GLAD that i was able to get out. Although a little crazy, it ended up being a great morning. So, Thanks Heidi and Tyler for sacrificing your sleep in my benefit. I really do appreciate it!
Avg. Pace: 8:51 (some good hills that we ran today, good workout) :) |
