I usually make lists in my head of what I need to get done that day, or I'm trying to figure out the rest of my running path to get the right time/miles and end exactly a few blocks from the house to get in a cool down walk :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04270167145763200625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-364634960364177702014-07-15T10:13:41.867-04:002014-07-15T10:13:41.867-04:00I'm impressed that you got out the door so ear...I'm impressed that you got out the door so early!

I tried so hard to remember what I was thinking so I could get home to write it down. My mind kept going off into dream land, by the time I got home I literally only remembered 4 things, LOL. So I am super impressed with your random thoughts, I'm going to guess you are great at focusing! <br />I have too long of hair, and let me say I don't know how girls run with it not tied up! I used to only put it in a ponytail and found even then it would be in knots and take me forever to pick through it with a ton of conditionier, now I just go with a braid:)Runaway Bridal Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436851320623647572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-9518404877858165352014-07-14T14:36:38.490-04:002014-07-14T14:36:38.490-04:00So you can say you wet your pants at the end?
