Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Plans called for another restful weekend, just sitting around the house mainly. But things changed, from my personal carting the kids around Saturday to a full day of errands/shopping on Sunday. Had my fill of football, especially Saturday. Good news and timing for me as I learned I get to jump in on another role playing game. Changed up & took Spotty with me on a run, made for different experience.
Family
Knowing that I planned to spend Saturday afternoon and evening watching football I got an early start on Saturday with the kids. Took them to the Y while I worked out. Then over to the library for some story time, while I found some books for James & I. Then it was off to the game store so I could touch base with my friends that I have neglected for too many months. I had thought of trying for 1 more store but they talked me out of that. The rest of the day went pretty much like I planned: Kim went out, and I watched football while the kids played.
Sunday I had only 2 things planned: take a long run, and go to the AT&T store to pick my new phone. Kim decided she wanted to just check out the Goodwill so we made that a family journey. Next thing we knew we finally got back to house with all of the kids around 4, complete with some new clothes for the kids and a bargain table for the kids to use as a Lego/game table. But you know, that happens sometimes, and the important thing is to roll with it, enjoy the time, and make the best of it.
Now Kim gets to try and spend the day recovering from an oncoming cold, while the kids get the day off from school, and hopefully let her rest.
Football
The games I watched were good, well at least the first one was. But I think my appetite for football is mostly sated. I will watch next Sunday, and the Super Bowl. But it's much easier as there are no teams left in the playoffs that I dislike, I would be pretty much happy with any of the remaining 4 winning the Super Bowl at this point.
Training
Changed things up on purpose with my training. Saturday I tried out going to the Y and doing my interval run on the treadmill. Not as successfully as I could have done, but got in a good run anyway. Sunday I took Spotty along on my long run. That was definitely a different experience, more of a full body experience as I had to deal with constantly pulling on the leash. So that in combination with me being out of practice of running back to back days had me slowing down and walking at the end. But I still did 6 miles in a little over an hour. The other big difference both days was not taking as much time tow warm up as I usually do. So if I try the same thing next week that will have to be a priority.
Role Playing
In keeping with my goal of getting a little more fun in my life I had contacted my friends about resuming role playing. Well the timing was perfect as it turned out. Because I found out on Saturday that they were just starting a new campaign of Deadlands. So I will get to resume that, at least once a month. This will be real good for me I think.
