What a mother will do in order to run...

OK - so with 2 boys involved in sports and practice on the same day, you would think that this would lead to NOT being able to get in a nice run - BUT the running gods are looking down on me this baseball and soccer season because both boys practice in the same field at almost the same time! So here is our plan...

pull them off the wii
have them change into "proper practice attire"
feed them dinner
help each boy get their bike out of the garage
pack the baseball bag
crap - we need a soccer ball
crap - we need 2 bottles of water
crap - I need a garage door opener
crap - I need a change a clothes so I can run to bunko after practice
crap - I need $5 for bunko

OK - we are finally off. The boys take off, it seems as if they have mastered speed racing and the most direct route to the practice fields...according to my nike+ just under 1/2 mile away. And there is me...supermom running behind them with the huge baseball bag strung across my back (Why was it not this heavy last time...right change of clothes, soccer ball, and additional water) I feel completely foolish - why is this a good idea again???

Drop off Theo - promise his coach that I have my phone on me this time (lost 1/2 his front tooth last time I went running...but that is a different post) - have 15 minutes before Reece needs to practice - so Reece takes off on his bike and I follow - get in a quick mile or so...drop off Reece an I am off! Finally free! I squeeze out a 5K and make it back just in time to find Theo skipping out of his practice to convince Reece's coach that he needs a lollipop. Mean mommy snatching the lollipop and sends him back into the outfield to finish up working on grounders.

Reece plays at the playground, I watch Theo, Theo finishes, and the boys are back on their bikes and I'm back chasing them down the street. Quick change of clothes and I'm off to bunko - and only 20 minutes late...not so bad.

Ran just over 5 miles and was biggest loser at bunko so I went home with my $5...nice day!
