The exception is when I’m in the middle of a build up to a marathon and I have a daily run plotted out. When I do my weekly schedule for work, I plot out my customer meetings and then I plot out where and when and how many miles for each day. Certainly stuff comes up and sometimes the plan doesn’t work out. I try not to obsess when that happens. Adjust if I can by moving my workout to my next scheduled rest day or just proceed with my scheduled run the next day.

Doing the workout DVDs is a different challenge. It’s good to combine with running, but I have to be sure the run is primary. On the other hand, it usually works to do the DVD at 5 AM and then run a little later. I have a tough time running first.

Still, there are days I don’t do any scheduled workout and it’s okay. I spent last Tuesday and Wednesday moving, which included lots of running up and down stairs and carrying things. So, I never found time to work out. Probably did fine burnin calories.

But I have days where I never get out of my pajamas… As long as I don’t take two days in a row off.
