Ever have one of those moments when you realise running is taking over?
You know you are a runner when you pack your bags for the weekend and forget to pack a change of clothing. As in t-shirt and pants for the day. Don’t worry, you’ve remembered to pack your winter running gear, two outfits for the gym in case you decide to stay inside. As you are running you make good decisions like the running sneakers you are wearing are going to remain “outdoor” runners since you now have salt caked on them from the roads.
Yup, I packed all my running gear as we left for the city yesterday morning after Lilly’s swim lessons. However, I forgot to pack clothing for today. The girls spent the afternoon with their Auntie Laura and I shopped! I shopped for more hours then I care to admit but feel like I’m ready for birthday celebrations later this week.
Birthday celebrations? We have two special birthdays this week; a 3rd and 40th to celebrate. So I had to find presents for these two special people.
This morning I managed to sneak out for a run while the girls spent some time with Grammy and Grandad. After I returned, I saw these branches on the ground and thought it was a sign. A for Anna (my real name) or “A” for Adventure which we will be attending a book launch called “A for Adventure” later today.
Though I sit here in my clothing from yesterday, I feel good knowing I at least packed extra clean underwear and got my morning run in. Who cares that I forgot to pack my every day clothing, right???
How’s your weekend ?
Ever pack your running gear and forget your real clothing?
Anyone celebrating December birthdays?

Once I was packing my stuff to race and almost forgot underwear. I was going to be staying at my parents house and remembered to pack running outfits for any weather situation but almost forgot underwear… Luckily I remembered before I left!
I’ve forgotten my underwear a few times but didn’t know until post run 😦
LOL I have totally been there! Anytime I go home to NL the running gear, for every type of weather gets packed and if I’m short on space I just plan on wearing my normal clothes from my sister!
It’s nice to be able to borrow your sisters clothing if needed! Runners never leave behind running gear but anything else isn’t a problem 😉
“A” for Awesome!
I realized that running has taken over when my wife demanded that I draft a Christmas wish list. It is kind of embarrassing when it is 90% + running related items. My wife gets it, but in-laws, etc. probably think I’m nuts 🙂
Ha ha, love that! My husband is a runner and cyclist so we pretty much stick to those items 🙂 Maybe you’ll rub off on your in-laws and they’ll start running!
That is really funny. Definitely sounds like something I would do!
Glad I could make you laugh 🙂 My priorities were clearly about running!!!
That is hilarious and I totally get it. I always pack my running clothes first. I had a freak out the other day because I packed stuff to go to my in-laws for the day and I decided to wait and run on their treadmill. When I got there I realized I forgot running shoes. I was SO mad!
Oh no!!!!! No running shoes, that’s THE worst! I always pack my pj’s and then running gear…other clothing last.
hahaha, oh man, no clothes…too funny.
I had a good laugh!
