Greg's Running Blog

Well I had skipped my cardio yesterday and I almost missed it today. I generally do my cardio in the evening after my kids go to sleep. On photo days it gets pushed back a bit later after I complete the photos for the blog entry. But tonight it got postponed even more.

My father-in-law is in town for the next three weeks, he arrived yesterday, but his luggage didn’t make it. So the airline said they would deliver it tonight between 5:00PM and 9:00PM. Sounds good, right? Well we get a call from the delivery company around 6:00PM that he’s on his way but he’s delivering several other luggage and he wouldn’t make it to us until around 10:30PM. At this point I’m getting a bit miffed but I think, sure that will still work, I just wait and do my cardio right after he gets here. I had to man the door as I told him not to ring as the kids were asleep. At 10:45PM I called the guy and he was nowhere near our place. So I knew he would interrupt my cardio, I just wasn’t going to wait any longer.

So I did my cardio starting at 11:00PM, the guy arrived around 11:15PM and my wife and father-in-law took care of the luggage. I was pretty pissed that I had to be up that long and wait for nothing. Had I known he was coming that late I would have done my cardio before then. Regardless, I did put in my one hour and that’s what matters.
