someone moved my cheese

i had already begun salivating. the anticipation was beginning to build. then in a matter of an hour, it was all torn down.
most of you know about my insanely busy life. very rarely do i have an evening free, and even more rarely a weekend free. i thought this coming weekend was going to be one of those rare ones. the kids had no baseball games scheduled, and even more strangely, no soccer games. i was envisioning waking up saturday morning around 8, hopping on the bike and putting in 50-75 miles, and getting home before noon. then sunday putting in a 10-15 mile run. yes, i was actually eagerly anticipating this.
then i was handed the paper after our soccer practice last nite. it said that we had to reschedule a future game that conflicted with a tournament we are going to in june. it will now be played sunday. in indianapolis. ok, scrap the sunday morning run. from soccer practice, andrew, nathan and i cruised over to the baseball fields where justin (my 8-year old) was starting his game. soon after i learned that we were going to make up a game that had been rained out last week. on saturday. at 10AM!! GRRR! scrap the long ride.
i know... some of you are wondering why i don't just get up earlier and get my run/ride in before the kids' activities. well it's still pretty cold here early in the morning, so i really don't want to start the ride too soon and freeze my soon-to-be sore ass off. and the run? yeah, it'll only take a couple of hours, so i'll probably still do that. but i was just looking forward to rolling out of bed at a nice, late hour and not having to rush to be anywhere. so i'll probably still do the long run saturday, but i'll have to start around 7:00 so that i can be done by 9. convincing darrin to get up that early to run with me will be a challenge also. he's probably less of a morning person than i am. and that's sayin' something.
in current news, i did a little 4 mile run solo last nite. nothing special. my right foot had been hurting for the last couple of days, but now it's fine. maybe it was trying to tell me it needed to run. way to go, Body! perhaps now when i get a headache, i should start studying more for the programming class i'm taking. and when my back hurts, i should do more yardwork. does this mean that when my stomach hurts, i should eat another piece of cheesecake? hmm. i just might have to test that theory...
