Kevin: Day 5333

Day 5333. There are short streaks within long streaks, like this run streak we have going here. Recently, I've been on a good streak of morning runs. As soon as the sun is rising, I'm out there, typically with the jogging stroller, and typically for short jaunts through Bloomingdale. It's a nice way to start the day and ensure that the stress that can be caused on a busy day, when I haven't completed my 1.5 miles, is not present. 

Just like making the bed in the morning, a run literally sets your day in forward motion. I spend a lot of time in early mornings and later evenings getting the tasks of my life in order. dishes, laundry, etc... At least I've been doing well in that regard recently. It's always a balance. I've gotten to the point of enjoying keeping things clean and organized so much that these activities can become a time suck. All in moderation. Though some days, the dishes need to stay in the sink and the laundry can't be folded. 

I feel great. I'm appreciative of my health. I put a lot of work into diet and exercise. But just like the aformentioned, it gets to a point when these endeavors become so fruitful and rewarding that it's a pleasure to pursue them.

I am constantly tweeking my schedule and always trying to find ways to save time. I'm sure other parents at Fina's school have opinions of the fact that everyday after I drop her off, I jog back to my car. The reason I do that, is to save a few minutes, to make that light. So that I can use that extra 3-4 minutes to play a little basketball and still have time for the liteny of other priorities in my life. 

I'm so proud of my little guys. They are just such great kids. We are beyond fortunate.
