All gearing to go, but nothing else is........

So, i have to buck up and start training seriously if i want to finish the half marathon before the cows come home. I like the 'take it easy &run for fun' plan that Joy suggested in one of her mails to me, that is to run at a reasonable pace, and to increase the distance by 1km per week.
So, i was feeling blah on a Saturday morning, so decided to run in the evening instead.. There's a another park where i run , which allows bicycles on it. So while i run, the kid and the Man bike....so we got all our gear and set off to the park. IT WAS HOT, although it was past 5pm by the time we got there!!!!!!! I was sweating buckets and the first few kms were like running in the Sahara or something...but then it cooled down, the weather got nicer, i got my second wind, there was a relatively cool breeze in the air...and at about 6kms into the run, the kid starts ." I'mtired, iwanttogohome, iwanttogotothebathroom, iambored, myfeethurts, i'veaheadache " Aaaaaaakakkkkkkk!!!!!!! Don't run with your kids in the vicinity if you have a choice!!!!! So, we had to pack everything back and just drive home.
Never mind, i thought. I'll run tomorrow. So, i checked the internet to look for road closures near the park on Sunday, since i knew there was going to be a race somewhere there...and there were none. So, Sunday morning, bright and early , all gearing to go, i went to the park....and the roads were closed!!!!! Now, I'm no homing pigeon and basically only know how to get to about 15 places in the city...and couldn't find my way home....so i drove on and on and on and round and round and round for about 45minutes with my verbal GPS ( The Man) on the phone and managed to get home....in one piece....sigh....but did i give up....oh no,....the day was still young, so I'll run in the evening, i thought....
And , in the afternoon, it started to rain, and rain , and rain......well, into the night.....there goes my run....so i sat on my bike instead...which is better than nothing...
Sometimes, you're all geared up to go, but nothing else is...so just bite your lip, cause there's always the next day....
