Wanna Go For A Run? Circle YES or No or Maybe

So after this post a few days ago.  I can already see a difference in Hubs workout schedule.  He’s been trying to get his workouts in while I’m at school.  Or while I’m studying.  He’s really trying to make it more tolerable and fun for me.  Last night he wanted to go for a short run like ‘we used to.’   I was all, “Yes!  Let’s do it.”  Then I got home from school, was super tired, and my brain hurt from a Stats test…so I might have waffled on tying those shoes and getting an easy 3 miles in…so, what did I do?  I bartered for a better a time:

Me:  (Waaaaa) I don’t want to go….

Hubs:  Ok, if we don’t go running tonight can we get up and go in the morning?  Before work?

Me:  YES!  I promise.

Hubs:  You prooooomise?

Me:  Wait, I promise as long as it’s not still dark out….

Hubs:  Deal.

This morning, when Hubs woke me up for running it was totally dark not sunny out so I said 5 more minutes.  Every 5 minutes I asked for 5 more….until Hubs had to go to work.  Now, I actually feel guilty.  My goal is not to get Hubs to STOP working out, it’s to get back to place where working out with him was actually fun. 

So, here is my promise to Hubs:  If I say I will do a workout with you, and you wait to do it with me; I will not back out anymore.  I promise (for real this time.)
