This weeks schedule (which I wish I could find a better format for posting online):

• Monday - AM - Run 3.5 miles, PM - Pushup, squat and crunch challenges
• Tuesday - AM - Lift with focus on assisted pull ups and core - FAIL!, PM - REST
• Wednesday - AM - Run 3.5 miles, PM - Pushup, squat and crunch challenges
• Thursday - AM - Lift with focus on assisted pull ups and core, PM - REST
• Friday - AM - Run 3.5 miles, PM - Pushup, squat and crunch challenges
• Saturday - AM - Long Run - 7.5 miles, PM - REST
• Sunday - AM - Cross train (row, mostly likely) and lift if feeling good, PM - REST

Yeah. So I rocked out with the challenges last night, even being tired and late getting home. And even with my poor right quad being all sore from Sunday's initial test. And then this morning, I couldn't get my hiney out of bed and my quad hurt even more.

Indeed. Those are excuses. They may even be valid. But I still made a choice to be lazy this morning (and my husband even went to the gym - go him!). Everyday, every morning, every meal, every workout (or lack thereof) is a choice.

So my choices today have sucked.
No workout. I ate a candy bar and chips from TJ's even though I had a healthy lunch packed, including snacks. The PMS monster reared it's ugly, hormone-y head and I chose to listen.

Yeah, choice is a big deal for me. I think I may actually tattoo it on my person to help reinforce the importance of that one little word. You may not choose your lot in life but you can always choose how you react to events in your life.

Luckily for me, tomorrow I will run no matter what - because Little Dog is a demanding bitch and NEEDS her run to the dog park. Four-leggers are great motivators.

Of course, what remains to be seen, is what tonight's choice for dinner will be.
