Yes, but...

Yes, I woke up feeling ready for a 3 mile run

but it was raining outside.

Yes, I have a treadmill in my garage

but the safety is broken and it wouldn't work.

Yes, I decided to take Teddy for a run

but she had chewed up her leash.

Yes, I used a strap from one of my purses as a leash

but Teddy broke it only 2 blocks into our run.

Yes, she still stayed pretty close to me

but she finally got bored and ditched me.

Yes I downloaded some fun songs to keep me motived

but I couldn't figure out how to get them from my computer to my phone.

Yes, I listened to a great station on pandora

that kept streaming one good song after another

but I am super out of shape so I had to walk more than I wanted.

Yes, the trees were green and the sprinkling spring air was very refreshing

but the wind was cold on my ears.

Yes, I made it three miles!

But not as fast as I had hoped.

Yes, I plan on going again tomorrow

but pushing myself harder to finish a little bit faster each day.

Yes, I am putting this out there on my blog to hold myself to "stick to it"

(Ella's favorite phrase)

but I am asking you not to judge me- remember I am just a beginner.

YES! I started out my Monday just as I wanted to- no buts about it!!!
