Running in the house

Perfect timing for a snow day. Got a lot of requirements done. Have so much more to go. Ran 1.4 miles in the house, to my pets' dismay. I may not run fast, but I can slowly cover some distance. I'd rather run than jump rope for 3 minutes. In fact I can jump for three minute better than I can jump rope. What happened? I would jump rope (even double dutch) when I was a child. Now I don't have the rhythm. So grateful that we can do the physical requirements on our own. I can pick a day that is not too cold for my run. 

Hope we don't have too many snow days. If I don't work, I don't generate income. But the bills keep coming. My RN plans to go back to school, so I'm looking for a clinical person....plus it is a lot of work and time getting and training someone new. Not the best of timing, but you have to play the hand you're dealt. Of course there's all the other administrative, and clinical work on my plate. It can be a bit overwhelming. Grateful for the cycle physical requirements. They get me up and away from my computer. If I was not working out so much, I'd be crazy by now. 

Snow.
