Got into the office really early this morning. Had a major presentation, a couple of stressful meetings, and then had to leave early to coach a soccer game. Got to the soccer field, started warming up the team, but nothing was set up for a game and no other team was there. This is a brand new team, nineteen 7th and 8th grade girls including my two daughters, and a few of them have never played soccer before. We're still figuring things out.
Turns out we had bad directions and were at the wrong field. With cell phones in action, 10 minutes before the start we figured out where we should have been, piled all the girls and equipment back in the cars and made it to the right field just in time for kick-off. It was crazy.
However, we still won easily 8-0, and my younger daughter scored a goal. Yay! Made it home about 6pm, and I went straight to the fridge for a beer. I was all settled in for the evening and Jennifer asks, "Did you run yet today?"
Oops.
So I quickly finished my beer, changed into running gear, and got in another short 3-miler. If she hadn't reminded me, I probably would have just plain forgot to run today. On the plus side, I ran reasonably fast, and was pretty relaxed. I always thought of beer as something you drink after a run, but maybe I should have a beer before my run more often.
