Settling for a walk, instead of a run!

All of a sudden there was a heavy rain last night. Even when I woke up in the middle of the night to pee, I could hear the drizzle outside. So, even though I was up bright and early today. I snuggled next to the Scientist and we chatted, at 5 in the morning.Its been ages since we had a decent conversation. He has been so busy with work, that I've begun to get irritated now. 

Anyway, then we woke up and I made breakfast and lunch and did not, for a change feel guilty about not having gone for my run. My chest congestion has eased out a bit. I thought of an evening workout at the gym. But when I came home to my baby at 6 in the evening, there was no way I could change into gym clothes and leave him back home with Maami yet again. Usually even in the mornings, I try to leave home to the gym while he is still asleep and return soon after he wakes up. So I feel less guilty. 

So this evening, I decided we could get in a bit of a walk. So we sweatered up and trooped to a store nearby where I bought some juicy looking Nashpatis (pears) and stocked up on khakras :) I carried the toddler about half way to and a little distance back. So I think I got some exercise in even though I missed today's run. 

I guess when having a baby  school going toddler, a temporarily workaholic husband, weight to lose, meals to cook, dead lines to meet at work and above all a conscience to deal with, you  got to settle for doing the best you can, when you can! Its ok if I missed the morning's run! I got to spend some quality time with Chittu. Its a hard deal, but I know, I will make it to body pump tomorrow morning!
