Abby: What you doing Mommy?
Me: Going for a run.
Abby: Oh, I wanna come.
Me: Sorry hunny, but you can't come.
Abby: Okay Mommy, but be careful, don't get a boo boo.
Me: What should I do so I don't get a boo boo?
Abby: run slow Mommy!
Me: Oh you know I will!
So I run the same route as yesterday in amazingly the same amount of time. Thought I'd go slower since I just ran yesterday, but I was able to maintain the same pace. I come home and am greeted by Abby.
Abby: Mommy, you run??
Me: Yes I did Abby.
Abby: Good job Mommy! (as she gives me a hug) Mommy, you are yucky, go take a shower!
And so I did, but I love how she was happy for me! She makes all the sweat and hard work worth it. After all, my getting healthy is for her and her sisters, so I can be around as long as possible. I cannot be lazy and let excuses get the best of me. I HAVE to do this for my children. I owe it to them!
