The unplanned plan

I couldn’t make up my mind if I wanted to exercise or to go for a run. So, I walked Shannan out to her car and it didn't start. In order for us both to get to work on time, we had to leave right away. So, the decision was made, not to exercise at the moment. Of course we had fully packed day planned, with an evening outing as well. To add to the dilemma, I was teaching on two campuses. I knew immediately I would have to skip lunch and exercise midday.

On the way between the campuses I stopped off in a park to get in a run. As mentioned before, I have a “go bag” always packed in my car. It has everything I need to fit in an exercise session. The park was small. I explored its fields and trails before I ventured out on the street for a bit. The weather was lovely and I took an opportunity to run in a new place. So even as a rushed unplanned experience, it turned out grand. Our busy day and fun evening went smoothly, including purchasing and installing a new battery for Shannan’s car.

Roll with the punches. Run.
