Fall Behind

Finally, we turned the clocks back. I for one am extremely giddy to have done so. Those last couple weeks of October, with their dark, cool mornings, are custom made for sleeping in and lingering cozily under the covers. And sleep in I did! But as each morning unfolded, I would chastise myself for doing it, vow I wouldn't do it again, and then - yep - you guessed it. Now I did not fall behind in my runs, but the rest of the family suffered - late breakfast, tardy school lessons, just a huge kink in our pristine routine. Nothing like sunshine streaming indoors an hour earlier to get me going now! In fact, I'm looking forward to it.
