Plan A, B or C?

Sometimes the best plan is not to have a plan at all. To take it day by day. Deal with what's given to you that day and nothing else. Out of the entire year I have to really concentrate on doing this now. I have spent the last two nights stressing over getting stuff done. And now that it is the day after Thanksgiving let the madness begin.

I never made it to the 5K. Weather was not what I call fun running weather. Cold, wet and a bit of snow on the ground. As the day went on it got even colder. So plan B was to go to the gym and get in a long swim before the kids were even up. But that cold day was staring me in the face at 6:30am and I just couldn't justify leaving. So now what, I didn't have a plan C. My ankle on my bad leg has been a little touchy the past couple of days so I thought that if I were to bike I may not be able to run on it afterwards for very long. So I decided to run first then bike for awhile. Plan was anything over 3 miles. If 4 felt good then maybe I would do 6. If 6 went well maybe just maybe 7. But I figured it would be about 4. Well I ended up running 13.1. Why? I'm not sure other than the fact that I could. The kids were asleep for most of my run. The husband kept me company for an hour of the run while he biked. By the time I was done there was no bike added to the day. I'll save that for this morning and give up my treadmill time to my husband who wanted to run yesterday but I hogged it too long.

So what's the plan for today? There is no plan. Not today. I may bike 10,20 or more miles, I may go out shopping and battle the crowds. I may go bowling. I might start unpacking the endless boxes of Christmas decorations. I might do all of these things or I may do none of these things. What I need to do is not get overwhelmed. I feel it in my body. It's rising to the top. I need to make sure I don't let it boil over. Been there done that and it's not pretty. Keep calm. The more I think about it I'd better start opening those Christmas decorations today.
