I got to ride my bike today, but just for about 10 minutes. My husband does emergency-response work, and he has a call to go on, so I have to be at home with the children. I enjoyed my bike ride.
I think that when the children start school in mid-August, I might ride my bike during the day on the days when I don't run. There are some lakes around here that have bike paths around them, and even if it's hot during the day (which it definitely will be), I can ride there because there are lots of trees.
I'm just trying to think of a way that I can maintain my running and biking schedule during school. When school is in, I can only really exercise early in the morning before school, or during the school day itself. I work in the afternoons at my children's school, and the evenings are too hectic. I have to cook supper, and get everyone bathed and fed and tucked in, and uniforms have to be put out for the next day. Also, it gets dark earlier during the winter months.
So, the bottom line is, I think that on the days when I run, I'll do that before school. That will get me up and moving, and it'll ensure that I'm at school on time. On the days when I don't run, when I ride my bike, I'll do that during the day while the kids are at school.
I'm just trying to ensure that when the time comes, there will be no excuses! I want to make sure that I am all lined up, and know what I'm going to be doing.
Ok...tomorrow morning, I'm gonna do my "walk 2:45, run 1 minute". We'll see how that goes, and if need be, I'll tweak some more. I'm going to put my clothes and shoes and Thunder's leash by the side of my bed, so that it will be easily accessible in the morning. (I read that little tip somewhere and it really works for me).
I took a night off from cooking tonight. The children and husband wanted pizza (he had to take his with him and eat it on the way to his call). I think that after the kids finish eating their pizza, we'll run to McDonalds and I'll get a Grilled Chicken Sandwich no mayo, extra pickles and a side salad and a parfait. They put the Chicken Sandwich on a wheat roll of some sort. I don't think that it's whole-wheat, but it's not the regular white bun either. It's not 100% healthy but it's not junk, and I won't have to cook either.
I hope you have a great night.
Be good,

Hi Victoria,
You should try the new Asian Salad at McDonald's. It's really good and very good for you, it contains chicken and edadame (soy). It also comes with a lite sesame seed salad dressing. You can still have the par-fay or better yet the new smaller apple, walnut and yogurt is a great choice.
I'm motivated to get out and walk just reading your blog.
