When you get lemons….

…you make LEMONADE!!
The duvet and pillow felt reeeally good this morning. And yet - I talked myself into getting up to go for a swim. Donned the suit and drove all the way to the gym. That’s when I realized I’d forgotten my bag, my cap and my goggles. Hmmm…. a sure sign that I wasn’t supposed to swim today. I did not bring my iPod either - so I quickly ruled out doing something else that required running or riding or ‘ellipting’ in one spot. I’m heading to Alaska at noon so I didn’t have much time to work out… What to do? What to do? Perhaps this was an even bigger sign to take today off.
However - my drive home includes a reeeeally beeeeeg hill. And I remembered that I’ll be sitting for a very long time (3.5 hour flight + 2 hour drive)… The combination of which sparked some inspiration. I pulled over to the side of the road. Runners? Check. Semi-warm fleece jacket? Check. What else did I need?
Nada!
So I squeezed in a juicy hill power walk! The sun was peeking through the clouds and I could see my breath.
A sweet lemonade way to start the day! :-)
